Drake to produce Amazon true-crime documentary on Chiefs superfan turned serial bank robber
Jasen Vinlove-USA TODAY Sports

It's been a bit of a running joke that Kansas City Chiefs fans would eventually get a true-crime documentary about Xaviar Babudar, aka ChiefsAholic, the superfan turned serial bank robber. Thanks to Aubrey 'Drake' Graham (don't expect any of Kendrick Lamar's music in this one) and Amazon MGM Studios, that running joke is now a reality. 

Amazon announced via press release that they've officially greenlit, “ChiefsAholic: A Wolf in Chiefs Clothing.”

It's described as, "a true-crime documentary about ChiefsAholic, the notorious Kansas City Chiefs superfan and serial bank robber."

Here's the info on Drake, and the other producers: 

Presented by Prime Video, ChiefsAholic: A Wolf in Chiefs Clothing is produced by DreamCrew Entertainment, North of Now, and Five All in the Fifth Entertainment and directed by Dylan Sires. ChiefsAholic: A Wolf in Chiefs Clothing is executive produced by Aubrey Drake Graham of DreamCrew Entertainment, Andrew Renzi of North of Now, and Douglas Banker of Five All in the Fifth.

Here's the full description of the Prime Video documentary via the press release: 

ChiefsAholic: A Wolf in Chiefs Clothing
ChiefsAholic: A Wolf in Chief’s Clothing
is a true-crime documentary that unravels the story of Kansas City Chiefs superfan and serial bank robber Xaviar Babudar—famously known as "ChiefsAholic." Recognized for his distinctive wolf costume and boisterous social media antics, Babudar rose to fame as one of Kansas City’s most fervent fans. However, a suspected secret life came to light when he was arrested in Bixby, Oklahoma in December 2022 for what police claim to be a string of bank robberies. Through interviews granted by Babudar himself, ChiefsAholic: A Wolf in Chiefs Clothing explores critical moments in the events surrounding Babudar’s arrest and offers a firsthand perspective on his subsequent journey.

Babudar recently pled guilty before U.S. District Judge Howard F. Sachs to charges related to a string of 11 robberies of financial institutions in seven different states. He awaits sentencing for his crimes and faces up to 50 years in federal prison. A bank teller in one of the robberies was also recently awarded $10.8 million in a civil suit.

The documentary will feature exclusive commentary and interviews with Babudar, which will certainly set it apart from the brief ESPN documentary that aired during the 2023 NFL season
