AN NFL star wide receiver mocked the city of Kansas City, where Travis Kelce and the Chiefs call home.
The verbal rant occurred on a hit podcast this week.

Detroit Lions wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown made fun of the city of Kansas City during the latest edition of his podcast.
The three-time Pro Bowler St. Brown interviewed rookie wide receiver Jaylin Noel, who was drafted by the Houston Texans in April.
St. Brown asked the Kansas City native, Noel, who played at Iowa State, whether he has dealt with culture shock by being in the South after previously spending his whole life in the Midwest.
“I mean, city-wise, [Houston’s] a lot faster,” Noel said.
“Kansas City, I call it a medium city.
“You have slow parts, faster parts, but Houston’s a lot faster.
“And then the humidity is all the time in Houston.”
Then, St. Brown made sure to throw shade at Kansas City and said that he didn’t like his past visit to the city.
“I’ve been to Kansas City,” St. Brown said.
“I was there for the draft. But I’m sorry.
“If you have money, I’m not living here after I get some money.”
Amon-Ra’s brother, c-host Equanimeous St. Brown, asked Noel whether he’d move back to Kansas City, and the rookie said that he wouldn’t.
Noel said he’d most likely live in Dallas, where his fiancée is from.
He did give some love to Kansas City’s food.
The sequence got traction on social media, but mainly for Amon-Ra’s comments on Kansas City.
Fans called out St. Brown’s current home city, Detroit, after he shared his thoughts on the Missouri metropolis.
“Buddy, you live in Detroit,” one wrote.
“Yeah so how is the beautiful thriving metropolis of Detroit Michigan working out for you ???” another commented.
“Have you seen Detroit,” a third asked.
