The 35-year-old Brown responded to a post asking users to name a fictional character’s death they have not gotten over by posting a photo of Hamlin.
The insensitive move drew criticism from Hamlin.
In his response to Brown’s post, Hamlin wrote: “You just DM me on Monday? guess you playing lame games on twitter with my situation because I ain’t DM you back.”
“I pray God don’t ever let me turn into a burnt out old head like you.. I used to look up to you damn near s*** sad frfr. Talk bout a clone bring the real AB back!”

Hamlin also exposed old direct messages from Brown, urging him to step away from social media amid his recent controversial behavior.
“Been in my DM over a year talking to yourself,” Hamlin stated alongside a screenshot of the messages.
Honestly he handled it very well,
AB is on par with a YouTube creator at this point, mostly annoying but gets the attention most of the time

Brown responded by seemingly suggesting that someone else was operating his account.
AB is a clown it’s terrible he was one my favorite players and the. He came to the Raiders and ruined that and like now all his drama like I don’t even think he belongs in the hall of fame now cause he has ruined his reputation

However, Hamlin’s criticisms stood firm, highlighting the need for Brown to set a better example. (Or at the very least just refrain from acting so outrageously offensive.)
“You was supposed to be an example setter. Now you the biggest weirdo we know! Get off twitter & go do some work with some kids or something. #PrayForAB,” Hamlin added with a clown emoji at the end.

This is far from the first time Brown has stirred controversy on social media with offensive comments and antics.
He has targeted other NFL stars, including Tom Brady and Travis Kelce, through various posts.
Its legit sad to watch how hard he is trying to stay relevant. He gave away his #1 chance at earning big for 3-4 more years. This won’t end well.

Once considered one of best players in the entire NFL, Brown has suffered one of the biggest falls from grace in sports history – and it’s all his own doing.
When he’s not battling his numerous legal issues, he seemingly spends his days waiting for people to take his bait on social media.
