Tech N9ne praises the humility of Chiefs’ stars: ‘Everybody is so down to earth’

The many fans of Chiefs Kingdom come from various walks of life, and some well-known celebrities have unique connections with the team and franchise culture.

Chiefs Wire’s Ed Easton Jr. spoke to legendary rapper Tech N9ne about his interaction and feedback with current Chiefs players. He selected his all-time starting tight end between Tony Gonzalez and Travis Kelce.

“Everybody is so down to earth,” Tech explained. “You would think that when people make a lot of money, sometimes they lose their heads. These guys have not lost their heads at all. Man, people say the same thing about me. I’ve been a multimillionaire for some years and treat people how I want to be treated.

“I get the same vibe from Pat (Patrick Mahomes), I get the same vibe from (Travis) Kelce and Chris Jones, everybody, man, I’m saying everybody shows love and respect, (Isiah) Pacheco, all of them show big love and humility, man. Really good dudes, it’s really cool.”

Tech N9ne was one of the original performers at the first ‘Kelce Jam’ last year. The Chiefs All-Pro tight end curated a lineup of his favorite artists to entertain the Kansas City community. He made the difficult decision to respond to the question of which superstar tight end in franchise history he would choose to start for his all-time Chiefs team.

“I’m going to have to say Travis Kelce. I have love for Tony Gonzalez. I just did a signing with him a few months ago down at Union Station,” said Tech. “Man, good to see him. I’m saying that I have to go with Travis Kelce. He’s a problem.”
