Antonio Brown has reacted to King Harris' comments about wanting to be "bigger" than Michael Jackson.

Last week, King, whose parents are T.I. and Tameka "Tiny" Harris, appeared as a guest on Reginae Carter's podcast Heir Time, where he said he wants his career to surpass the King of Pop.

"My goal is to be bigger than Michael Jackson," King said on the podcast. "That's my boy since I was a toddler." He added that his infant son, King Jr., is more a "Bob Marley type."

But in a repost of Complex's news about the interview on X, instead of responding to King's remark about MJ, AB threw a jab at the rapper's looks. "God dam that n***a ugly…" he wrote.

The retired football player is known for shading notable figures on his social media platform, more recently, Shedeur and Shilo Sanders after the latter was cut from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The athlete threw punches at Buffalo Bills tight end Zach Davidson during an on-field shoving match last weekend, which resulted in Sanders being waived by the Buccs.

"Not even there (sic) fault @nfl couldn’t humble there dad so they will repay," AB wrote on Monday (August 24), referring to NFL legend Deion Sanders.

Elsewhere on the Heir Time episode, King placed MJ on his top three "dead or alive" artist list alongside Young Thug and late rapper XXXTentacion.

"I need Michael Jackson 'cause it's like, bro, you'll learn so much from that future," he said. "Take the future out. Just give me the studio session. Just let me come to the studio with Michael for a week or a month straight just to see what he do, just to pick up on game and learn and stuff like that."

ComplexCon returns to Las Vegas on October 25–26, 2025, with over 300 brands and live performances by Young Thug, YEAT & Friends, Peso Pluma, Central Cee, Ken Carson, and more. Get your tickets now.
