A shirtless, belligerent Adrien Broner was caught berating the staff at a McDonald’s as one employee threatened to call the police on the troubled boxer.<\/p>\n
‘My boy,’ Broner yelled at McDonald’s kitchen staff. ‘Come holler at me my n***** before I come grab you up back there, my boy.’<\/p>\n
Curiously, the incident was publicized by Broner, himself. His friend recorded the exchange, which was later posted on the former champion’s Instagram page.<\/p>\n
The location of the incident remains unclear. The 34-year-old Broner is a native of Cincinnati, but spends much of his time in South Florida, where he’s previously been arrested for drunk driving and assault.<\/p>\n
The scene played out in a series of videos on Instagram, showing Broner and a friend making their way through the McDonald’s drive through and later confronting staff inside the fast-food chain.<\/p>\n

‘Who was I talking to?’ Broner asked one employee at the drive-through window.<\/p>\n
‘For real, man,’ Broner added. ‘Don’t be spitting in my s***, man.’<\/p>\n
From there, things took a turn for the worse as the former four-division champion barged into the McDonald’s and demanded to speak with the person who prepared his food.<\/p>\n
‘Hey, my boy,’ Broner yelled. ‘Who cooked this, my boy? Somebody check my s*** right here, my boy. I gotta check it right here to make sure nobody\u2026’<\/p>\n
The McDonald’s employee working behind the counter calmly told Broner that ‘you need a shirt to be in here.’<\/p>\n
Broner, who was anything but calm, snapped back at the woman: ‘Relax, my boy.’<\/p>\n
Maintaining her cool, the woman responded, ‘you relax.’<\/p>\n
In spite of the staff’s skillful attempts to deescalate the situation, Broner was anything but deterred.<\/p>\n
‘Which one of y’all did that?’ he asked. ‘Come on out here, boy.’<\/p>\n

Broner’s rampage began in the drive through (left) and continued inside the McDonald’s, where one staffer (right) politely asked his friend to stop recording the boxer’s tirade\u00a0<\/p>\n
The woman behind the counter asked him to remain calm while threatening to call the police.<\/p>\n
Broner \u2013 who is no stranger to law enforcement, and often boasts about his wealth \u2013 was unbothered: ‘Man, I’m not worrying about no cops. I’ll buy them too.’<\/p>\n
Broner then turned his attention to the kitchen staff behind the counter.<\/p>\n
‘My boy,’ Broner yelled. ‘Come holler at me my n***** before I come grab you up back there, my boy.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
While restraining her co-worker from approaching Broner, the woman behind the counter politely asked the boxer’s friend to stop recording.<\/p>\n
‘Sir, can you put that away?’ she asked.<\/p>\n
‘Nah, I’ll record this,’ the friend said. ‘This is crazy. She calling the police.’<\/p>\n
It’s not clear if the police were ever called to the scene.<\/p>\n
He last fought in June, ending at 16-month absence from the ring in a 10-round unanimous-deciison win over Bill Hutchinson.<\/p>\n

Broner last fought for a title in 2019, suffering a unanimous-decision defeat to legend Manny Pacquiao.<\/p>\n
His life outside the ring has been defined by legal problems and mental-health issues. Broner pulled out of a 2022 fight with Oscar Figueroa due to the latter, saying he wasn’t prepared to box due to his struggles.<\/p>\n
‘Sorry to all my fans but #MentalHealth is real and I’m not about to play inside the ring,’ Broner said on social media.<\/p>\n
Broner has a professional record of 34-4-1, with 24 of his 34 wins resulting from a knockout.<\/p>\n
