NFL Legend Jason Kelce Issues Statement Amid Accusations

Kelce, however, recently found himself in some hot water after a quote made its rounds on social media. In it, the NFL legend was accused of commenting about Bad Bunny’s upcoming performance at the Super Bowl in February.

Kelce allegedly responded to those who are criticizing the NFL for choosing the Puerto Rican rapper as the halftime performer in the big game. Kelce supposedly said, "If Bad Bunny is a bad fit for the Super Bowl, then maybe the people making these comments are a bad fit for America's future."

Multiple accounts on X have posted about Kelce’s alleged quote. Most of them have since been deleted.  

Kelce could not remain silent. The former Eagles star took to social media to address the issue, making it clear that the quote is fake.

“I normally don’t comment on things like this, but I feel I need to address that there are a number of accounts posting fake quotes and attributing them to me on this platform right now. 

“I appreciate @X putting community notes on several and I will not address the other accounts specifically, because I do not want to amplify their engagement.

“But please know, unless you hear something directly from me via one of my platforms, it is not real,” Kelce posted on X.

Kelce is not the most active personality on X. However, he had to issue an official statement to deny these malicious accusations, which have led more than a few folks on social media to believe the quote actually came from him.

Kelce is a light-hearted individual who has made a name for himself with his own brand of comedy. However, times like these bring out his more serious side, now that he has been placed in a bad light.

The Eagles icon will be back with his expert analysis and his trademark wit for ESPN’s coverage of a Week 7 doubleheader: Lions vs. Buccaneers and Seahawks vs. Texans.
