You have to have been hiding under a rock all season long not to know that millions of NFL fans believe the Kansas City Chiefs are getting help from the officiating crew every Sunday.
After every Chiefs win, there are always comments on Facebook, X, and Instagram about the Chiefs’ cheating ways and how the refs always bail them out somehow. It even gets weird when people believe Patrick Mahomes sold his soul to the devil for a three-peat.
Conspiracy theories aside, it’s even gotten to the point that ESPN commentator Troy Aikman brought it up during the AFC Divisional game between the Chiefs and the Houston Texans on Saturday. The game had a few controversial calls by the referees, especially when it came down to a roughing the passer call.
Aikman seemed annoyed with some of the calls but didn’t accuse the Chiefs of cheating; that was reserved for someone on the other side of the sports celebrity spectrum.
Rapper and mogul Lil Wayne took issue with the Chiefs this weekend. His short but simple tweet summed it all up.
“I hate the cheating azz Chiefs,” Weezy wrote.
Wayne is an avid football fan, specifically a Green Bay Packers fan. He famously recorded the song “Green & Yellow” leading up to the Packers’ Super Bowl win over the Pittsburgh Steelers at the end of the 2010 season. It was a nice response to Wiz Khalifa’s “Black and Yellow.”
The rapper also owns a sports management company and most recently signed Heisman winner Travis Hunter. Wayne knows football and is clearly a fan, too, but not of the Chiefs.
If anybody has been the villain of the 2024 NFL season, it has been the defending champs. The Chiefs nearly went undefeated by beating teams by only a few points week in and week out.
Nobody outside of the Midwest wants to see a three-peat Super Bowl win, even if they respect Patrick Mahomes’s meteoric rise.
Emotions are running high this week going into championship weekend. The Chiefs vs. Buffalo Bills game is expected to be historic, and everyone, including Lil Wayne, will be watching.
Let’s hope it’s a fair game between the teams and the officiating crew.
