Travis Kelce sets record straight on ‘nonsense’ after $3.3 million charity story went viral

Travis Kelce said Wednesday he wanted to set the record straight about “false claims” he was “doing something” in the Kansas City community.

During the latest installment of his “New Heights” podcast, the Chiefs тιԍнт end explained, “I wasn’t doing what was falsely claimed by the social channels or outlets posting all this AI stuff,” before giving a shoutout to his friend, ESPN personality Pat McAfee.

“I gotta make a little statement in the don’t believe everything you read kids category, realm that you see online. Some false claims were thrown out there that I was doing something in the community that I was not,” Kelce said on Wednesday’s show, which he co-hosts with older brother Jason Kelce. “I’m not even going to talk about it specifically, I don’t want to bring any more attention to that whole nonsense and article and all that stuff.

“But if you ever want to know exactly what I’m doing in the community, just go to 87 & Running.org,” he said, referring to his non-profit organization. “We’re always trying to get out there, get in the Kansas City communities, in the Cleveland community, but this time, I wasn’t doing what was falsely claimed by the social channels or outlets posting all this AI stuff.

“So just wanted to set the record straight, appreciate everybody for always trying to show — especially Pat McAfee, he’s always trying to look out for the guys, guys and women in the sports world.”

Kelce, 35, didn’t expand further on the McAfee mention.

It came after the ESPN host praised Kelce for his charitable efforts on his self-тιтled show last Thursday.

McAfee called Kelce a “good human” while discussing a report by the Daily Mail that said the three-time Super Bowl champ donated $3.3 million to Foster Love to build a living facility for young homeless people in Kansas City.

The Daily Mail reported how Foster Love announced Kelce’s donation on social media.

“Travis is offering housing, mentorship, and educational resources, giving these youth the tools they need to move toward independence and break the cycle of homelessness,” the organization reportedly said. “It’s inspiring to see @killatrav use his platform to make a real difference for vulnerable youth.”

That social media post appeared to be deleted as of Wednesday.

The story on the Foster Love website has been deleted, and there is no mention of it on Kelce’s website.
