Travis Kelce's ex-gf Kayla Nicole takes issue with Tyreek Hill over Dolphins WR's food choice

Kayla Nicole took issue with Travis Kelce's former Kansas City Chiefs teammate, Tyreek Hill. The Miami Dolphins wide receiver recently answered rapid-fire questions in an interview with GQ.

Hill was asked about the time he said that his favorite place to eat in Kansas City was Popeye's, a chain restaurant that serves chicken. NFL fans were caught off guard because of all the city's famous barbecue restaurants.

"Growing up, my whole entire life, that's all my mom fed me was Popeye's fried chicken," Hill said on Saturday, via GQ Sports. "That's probably the secret ingredient to why I'm really fast. 'Cause that's all my mom poured into us kids."

Kayla Nicole reshared the post on her Instagram Story and gave her take.

"nooooo only a mothers home cooked meal can make greatness (angry emoji) grrrr," Nicole wrote.

While Nicole sees a mother's home-cooked meal differently than Hill, the wide receiver has a special place in his heart for Popeye's.

Kayla Nicole was not a fan of Bengals QB Joe Burrow's footwear

Kayla Nicole isn't one to back down when she feels she needs to express her opinion. The podcast host recently shared her dislike for a new line of Nike products that don't feature its iconic swoosh.

Joe Burrow played two series with the Cincinnati Bengals' offense against the Philadelphia Eagles on Aug. 7. He wore the Air Jordan 1 Mid "Shattered Backboards" custom-made cleats.

"the swoosh-less 1's are upsetting me," Nicole wrote on Instagram.

Despite ending her relationship with Travis Kelce in 2022, Nicole remains an NFL fan.
