A bombshell report from Jenny Vrentas of the New York Times alleged that Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson had visited as many as 66 different women for massages over the course of a 17-month span. Watson, who is facing 24 active civil cases from different women alleging sexual misconduct from the quarterback, took to his Instagram story to issue a response to the damning report, using lyrics from a song by rappers Lil Baby and Lil Durk to proclaim his innocence.

Watson shared the lyrics from the Lil Baby and Lil Durk song “Rich Off Pain” which features Rod Wave. “See, the blogs can't break me down, see, I'm the voice, I don't reply. But the rumors y'all done heard, I'ma humbly deny, yeah, yeah.”

The Browns quarterback was not indicted in a criminal trial by a grand jury earlier back in March, but new cases of sexual misconduct have since been filed against Watson, with the total count of active civil cases reaching 24.

Despite the controversy surrounding Watson, the Browns pulled the trigger on a massive blockbuster trade to bring him to Cleveland, and then doubled down by signing him to an enormous $230 million, fully guaranteed contract.

Following Vrentas' bombshell report on Tuesday, which included harrowing and graphic details of the alleged incidents, Watson is sticking to his stance and continuing to deny the claims being made against him.

More damning details continue to emerge in the ongoing Watson scandal, and with each passing accusation and civil suit filed, the worse it's beginning to look for the recently-acquired Browns quarterback. The NFL reserves the right to discipline Watson based on its own findings, regardless of the fact that Watson was found not guilty by a Texas grand jury.
