Travis Kelce responded after rapper Lil Wayne aired his beef with the “cheating” Kansas City Chiefs on social media.
During the Chiefs’ NFL Divisional playoff game against the Houston Texans on Saturday, Wayne took to X and wrote: “I hate the cheating azz chiefs.”
In a follow-up post, Wayne added, “It’s not even impressive when u cheat and then clearly try to cheat. Just win baby.”
The rapper — who is a diehard supporter of the Green Bay Packers — was referring to a narrative that NFL referees are giving preferential treatment to the two-time defending Super Bowl champions. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was also accused of unsuccessfully trying to sell a roughing the passer penalty by flopping on the sideline during the game’s fourth quarter.
On the Wednesday, January 21 episode of their “New Heights” podcast, Travis and his brother, Jason Kelce, addressed the controversy head-on.
Jason said, “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. Even Lil Wayne. Lil Wayne [posting on social media]: I hate the cheating azz Chiefs. So an a** with two z’s.”
Travis kept his response short and sweet: “Shoutout to Tunechi, man,” referencing Wayne’s nickname.
