Jackson Mahomes sparked widespread criticism on social media after posting a TikTok celebrating the Kansas City Chiefs' AFC championship victory on Sunday. The brother of Patrick Mahomes lip-synced to Young Money's "BedRock" while dancing in celebration.
Fans flooded X with negative reactions, shortly after the Chiefs' thrilling 32-29 win over the Buffalo Bills. The post drew particular attention given Jackson's recent legal troubles, having received six months probation last year for alleged assault.
The social media backlash intensified after Jackson captioned another celebratory post from Arrowhead Stadium with "Super Bowl hates to see us coming!"
