Super Bowl protester allegedly shot at by Antonio Brown arrested over Halftime disruption

A bold Super Bowl LIX Halftime protester has resurfaced — this time in handcuffs. Months after shocking millions by interrupting Kendrick Lamar’s halftime set with a political message, the man behind the disruption has been arrested. Even more explosive? He’s now linked to a violent incident involving former NFL star Antonio Brown — one that includes gunfire and an attempted murder charge.New Orleans-based artist Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu, 41, turned himself in this week after Louisiana State Police issued a warrant related to his actions during the February 9 Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show. He was booked at the Orleans Parish Justice Center on counts of resisting an officer and disturbing the peace by interrupting a lawful assembly, according to The Associated Press.During the show, Nantambu — who was cleared to be on the field — climbed atop a performance car used in Kendrick Lamar’s act and held up a sign with “Gaza” and “Sudan” written on it. Though initially detained and released without charges, he received a lifetime ban from all NFL events. Officials later stated he “deviated from his assigned role,” and the league has since supported the legal action taken.NFL vice president of communications Brian McCarthy responded to the arrest, stating: “We take any attempt to disrupt any part of an NFL game, including the halftime show, very seriously and are pleased this individual will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.”In a startling development, Nantambu is also the victim in a separate alleged shooting involving Antonio Brown. The incident occurred on May 17 outside a celebrity boxing event in Miami, Florida, where Brown allegedly got into a fight with Nantambu, stole a security guard’s firearm, and fired two shots, one of which reportedly grazed Nantambu’s neck.Also read: “Thank god I’m not murdered”: Man details shooting in altercation with former NFL star Antonio BrownPolice claim surveillance video supports the victim’s version, and a warrant for attempted murder has since been issued against Brown. Reports suggest the former NFL wide receiver is currently outside the United States, with recent footage placing him in the Middle East. With legal consequences unfolding on two high-profile fronts, the case involving Nantambu continues to highlight the explosive intersection of sports, protest, and celebrity conflict.
