Celeb Jeweler Shuki International Begs AB To Return Diamonds ... 'Stop Playing Games'

Bring It Back
TMZSports.com

Celebrity jeweler Shuki International tells TMZ Sports he's willing to tear up his court judgment against Antonio Brown ... if the former NFL star simply gives him back his diamonds.

Shuki's been in a war with AB over the jewels for years -- writing in a lawsuit back in 2023 that the ex-Tampa Bay Buccaneers wideout borrowed his iconic "Shuki International" finger covers and other prized possessions in 2022 ... but never paid for them or returned them.

Shuki actually won the case against Brown last month after the footballer failed to fight the suit ... with a judge ordering AB to pony up $1,095,000 million.

But when we spotted Shuki out in LA this week ... he told us Brown hasn't paid yet -- nor has he attempted to give back the items.

Shuki said he actually had a conversation with Brown over it all -- and AB apparently made it clear to him "he's not going to pay."

"Which is OK," Shuki continued, "just tell him to bring back the rings so we can settle."

Shuki said he doesn't harbor any animosity toward Brown despite the tense situation -- in fact, he said if AB hops on a new music track with him, he might be willing to forgive the whole thing right then and there.

But, getting his items back is obviously priority No. 1 for the jeweler.

"'Hey, bring back the ring,'" Shuki said in a message to Brown. "'Be cool. Be nice. I love you like a brother. But I don't think it's fair to hold something that you don't own. Especially with a court order now.'"

Joe Haden Baker Mayfield's a $25-30 Million QB ... Pay Up!!!

GIVE HIM SOME Dough !!!
TMZSports.com

A Baker needs dough to do his job ... and Joe Haden says that's the case for Tampa Bay's quarterback as well -- 'cause he tells TMZ Sports he thinks Baker Mayfield deserves $25-30 million a year!!

The Buccaneers signal caller tops the list of available free agents this offseason ... and many are expecting the former No. 1 overall pick to get a big payday -- and staying put in Tampa seems like a strong possibility.

Haden -- who spent several seasons with the Cleveland Browns, just like Bake -- is all for Mayfield getting money thrown at him ... telling us it's hard to come by a quarterback that has playoff experience.

"I think Baker Mayfield should get a contract, for sure," Haden -- a three-time Pro Bowler said.

"Baker, 25-30 million dollars a year, 100% to take a team to the playoffs. I think give him some dough."

Of course, it hasn't always been sunshine and rainbows for Baker -- he fought through some injuries and got shipped out of Cleveland when the Browns pursued Deshaun Watson, despite leading them to their first playoff victory in forever just one season prior.

He bounced around to two other teams before landing with the Bucs ... and Haden thinks all his struggles are now behind him.

"You leading two different teams, two different organizations to the playoffs, you worth some dough."

It sounds like Baker's gonna get his money ... whether it's from Tampa Bay or elsewhere.
