Adrien Broner's song "Slammer"
Ohio boxer, Adrien Broner, who fancies
himself a rapper in his spare time, just released a new
explicit rap song entitled “Slammer (Mayweather & TMT Diss).”
The word “slammer” is slang term in America for jail. Broner
was recently incarcerated for 11-days on a probation
violation, in connection with an original offense for DUI
and a second incident on reckless driving charges in Ohio.
“Slammer” uses the beat from the rap song
“Panda” by Designer, who performed the music during the ring
walk of Broner's most recent fight. In the diss track Broner
slams Mayweather and his Money Team collective of boxers and
businesspeople. Broner raps, “I got Floyd going against
me...I found out I couldn’t get him, so I knocked out his
nig*a.”
Broner v. Theophane
The lyric is in reference to Mayweather
refusing to fight Broner, but making a business deal for him
to fight his Money Team boxer, Ashley Theophane, which
occurred on April 1, 2016. The fight ended in the 9th round,
due to a low blow from Broner, which was proceeded by an
immediate controversial call from the referee, who
disregarded Theophane stating he was okay to continue the
fight. It was a strange occurrence. However, it really
wasn't a knockout or knockdown. The song "Slammer" was
another low blow, especially considering after the fight
Broner took to Instagram and referred to Theophane as a
friend.
Broner resents Theophane and fellow Money
Team boxer, Gervonta Davis, as Mayweather took them under
his wing and has been helping them as he once did Adrien,
whom many used to refer to as his protégé. As stated in the
column previously, Broner is clearly experiencing
abandonment issues regarding the man, Mayweather, whom he
used to refer to as his big brother.

Broner is angry at all the talk in the
sports industry about Mayweather potentially coming out of
retirement to fight MMA’s top star, Conor McGregor. Broner
wants to be the one to fight Mayweather. He even broached
the subject after the Theophane fight. However, it caused
Mayweather to literally laugh until he cried at ringside,
not taking the challenge seriously.
There are other highly charged lyrics in the
song "Slammer" such as the line “And that’s on life, keep
playing and you’ll use yours” which sounds like a threat
against Mayweather or the man who has sued him for assault
and battery at a Ohio bowling alley, after a personal
incident went wrong. Broner pulled a gun on the man, who had
won $10,000 betting against him. Broner, a
multi-millionaire, punched him in the chin twice, knocking
him unconscious, then took his money back, in addition to
$2,000 belonging to the victim.

The victim required hospitalization and
60-stitches to repair his chin that was split open by Broner,
in a matter that is now a criminal case against Broner, who
also raps on the aforementioned track in reference to the
incident, "you try to sue me, I won't settle" "clean gun,
dirty handle" and "they say they got me on camera."
The line “I hang with all felons” is also
present on the song and a bad idea. Broner further raps "I'm
trying to stay up out of the slammer” but the way to do that
is not to hang out with felons. You are the company you
keep. The Money Team and the man who has sued Broner for
assault, will not be happy with the song. Broner also needs
to remember that police and members of the court also listen
to music. "Slammer" may full well rile them up in a legal
matter that Broner needs leniency. If he is not careful, the
court will make an example of him for it, due to the
incendiary, unremorseful comments he has made that are
clearly about the criminal case.
