Travis Kelce Breaks His Silence on Chiefs Kingdom Rumor
Travis Kelce is finally addressing a rumor that has been circulating within the Chiefs Kingdom. The Kansas City Chiefs’ star tight end recently spoke to his brother, former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, about speculation that has been plaguing the franchise.
On Jason’s ESPN show, They Call It Late Night, the Super Bowl champion questioned his younger brother, saying, “Be honest, if [the Kansas City Chiefs] would have lost, would you be here right now?”
Jason was referring to the AFC Championship game, where the Chiefs secured a thrilling 32-29 victory over the Buffalo Bills.
Travis, who joined Jason on the show via satellite, quickly responded, stating, “100 percent,” affirming that he would have still appeared in person had the Chiefs lost.
Jason reacted playfully, exclaiming, “D*mmit, Josh [Allen], why’d you have to ruin this?” referring to the Bills’ quarterback and MVP candidate Josh Allen.
He then took a lighthearted jab at his brother’s stellar performance during the game, suggesting that the referees may have played a role in the victory.
“What? I thought it was fair,” Travis replied, shrugging off the joke.
The Kelce Brothers Address the Rumor on New Heights
This isn’t the first time the Kelce brothers have discussed the ongoing rumor. On an episode of their podcast New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce, the two revisited the controversy, referencing comments made by rapper Lil Wayne.
“The whole world was talking about something else during the game, and I’m sure you saw some of this, but they were complaining about the refs again, Trav,” Jason said.
He continued by citing a social media post from Lil Wayne: “Even Lil Wayne [wrote on social media], ‘I hate the cheating a— Chiefs.’ So an a– with two z’s.”
Travis took the criticism in stride, responding with a laugh, “Shout out to Tunechi, man,” seemingly unfazed by the diss.
As the Chiefs prepare for another Super Bowl run, it remains to be seen whether these rumors will continue to follow them. For now, Travis Kelce appears more focused on his game than the chatter surrounding the franchise.
