Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ beloved trainer Bobby Stroupe has attacked a Kansas City radio host over his previous ‘fat’ jibe about the three-time Super Bowl winner ahead of the upcoming season.
Mahomes toasted the Fourth of July in style as he partied with longtime wife Brittany and a group of their close friends on a luxury yacht over the weekend. In pH๏τos shared by Brittany and other members of the party, the three-time Super Bowl winner showed off his ‘dad bod’ after going shirtless while wearing blue trunks.
Local radio host Kevin Kietzman did not find the quarterback’s physique worthy of an NFL starter, ripping into Mahomes on the latest episode of his podcast ‘Kevin Kietzman Has Issues’ and urged him to ‘stop the fast food’ – an ᴀssessment which has sparked fury online.
Now, Stroupe has responded to the insult on behalf of his most high-profile client.
‘Send me your location,’ Stroupe said in a deleted social-media post, per TMZ. ‘You obviously need attention. If you want to see what in shape is – go make it through a practice at Saint [Joseph] or run hurry up offense scrambling back to back to back plays. You don’t have a clue what it takes. It’s not a look, it’s performance.’
Kietzman has since doubled down on his harsh critique of the Kansas City living legend, claiming he is certain Stroupe did not hear his full remarks about Mahomes.

Controversial podcaster Kevin Kietzman branded the Chiefs quarterback an ’embarrᴀssment’
Patrick Mahomes’ trainer Bobby Stroupe delivered a withering response to the podcaster
‘Here is a fair and accurate ᴀssessment of my commentary,’ Stroupe posted with a social media link. ‘I don’t want @PatrickMahomes to become Ben Roethlisberger who won big as young player and then just got big. I want him to lock in like @TomBrady in his 30’s and chase him down.’
Kietzman – who was infamously taken off the air and fired by Kansas City radio station WHB in 2019 for linking Chiefs head coach Andy Reid’s fallout with ex-player Tyreek Hill to his late son’s drug overdose- sparked fury on social media.
Mahomes has been known throughout his career to not have chiseling abs, yet, being effective enough to guide the Chiefs to seven straight conference championship game appearances.
‘Vacation pH๏τos are popping up of Patrick Mahomes, and he’s fat. I’m gonna say it, and I’m gonna tell you the truth, he’s an embarrᴀssment,’ the controversial personality said.
‘You’re a $500m quarterback, you’ve made all these comments in the offseason that “we’re gonna do our talking on the field, we got our ʙuттs kicked in the Super Bowl, we’re coming back with a vengeance”… Dude, you’re fat. Your belly would be fat at my pool, hanging out with us, 60 year olds.’
Fans responded to harshly, echoing the comments from Stroupe in defense of Mahomes.
‘He’s a f***ing idiot,’ one user said about the radio host.
‘This was seriously funny. Now NFL players have to look a certain way,’ wrote another. ‘Their on field performance and accolades are not as important as how good they look with their shirts off.’
