In August 2003, Brown was arrested and charged with driving under intoxication near his hometown of Brunswick. In October 2007, Brown was arrested in Georgia and charged with disorderly conduct and interference with a law enforcement officer after an incident in which the driver of a car in which he was a passenger was arrested for driving drunk with a suspended license.

In 2017, Brown was the 5th overall pick in the inaugural draft of the BIG3 basketball league. In BIG3 Brown played for the 3-Headed Monsters, who made it to the finals and ended up losing to Trilogy 51-46.

In 2021, Brown created numerous YouTube videos critiquing the assertion that he was a bust as a first-round draft pick, claiming that mainstream US sports media unfairly targeted him for overly twenty years, as well as negatively depicting black men, in negative comments about Brown’s career from former NBA  players Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson on a May 2021 episode of their podcast All the Smoke.
