Travis Kelce isn't bothered with the criticism following his Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs will appear in their seventh consecutive AFC title game and are in the hunt for their third straight Super Bowl win.
During last week's AFC Divisional Round 23-14 win against the Houston Texans, criticism about the officiating crew allegedly favoring the Chiefs quickly circulated on social media. One of those who called out the Chiefs was rapper Lil Wayne.
"I hate the cheating a** chiefs," Wayne wrote on X.

Wayne followed it up with another post on X shortly after saying that he wasn't impressed by the Chiefs' success.
"It’s not even impressive when u cheat and then clearly try to cheat. Just win baby," his second post read.
Jason Kelce mentioned the rapper calling out the Chiefs to his brother Travis Kelce on this week's episode of the "New Heights" podcast. The three-time Super Bowl-winning tight end remained unbothered by Wayne's comments and responded by giving him a shout-out, using his nickname.
"Shout out to Tunechie, man," Travis said. (18:26)
Travis Kelce shocks brother Jason with harsh mindset
Travis Kelce knows what success looks like as the Kansas City Chiefs have been atop the NFL the last few seasons. His brother Jason Kelce asked him on Wednesday's episode of the "New Heights" podcast if the Chiefs are just used to being in the title game at this point.
It was then that Travis shocked his brother, sharing his harsh way of thinking when it came to success in his career.
"I put that on myself every single year. It's either that or I'm a failure," Travis said.
Jason: "Oh okay, that's a hell of a way to live your life."
Travis: "It's working out so far."
The Chiefs tight end further said he only cares about his team's success and not his personal records.
The Chiefs will have to play against the Buffalo Bills in the AFC title game this Sunday.
