Travis Kelce made it evident that he wants nothing to do with Kanye West during a pre-Super Bowl conference.
When asked if any of Kanye’s songs were part of his music collection, the Kansas City Chiefs player firmly stated “no” before swiftly switching topics, effectively shutting down the conversation.

Kelce‘s reaction is understandable, considering West‘s complicated history with Taylor Swift, Kelce’s girlfriend. The feud began at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards when West interrupted Swift during her acceptance speech, claiming Beyoncé deserved the award instead.
This incident sparked significant backlash, with even former President Obama deeming West‘s actions inappropriate.
Years later, tensions were reignited when West released a track with a derogatory line about Swift, stating, “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex. I made that b*** famous.”
Swift quickly clarified that she had not approved of the lyric. However, West and his then-wife Kim Kardashian released a portion of a phone call that suggested she was aware of the line. A later leak of the full conversation ultimately cleared Swift, confirming she had been misled.
More than ten years after their initial dispute, West allegedly sought to connect with Swift at the 2024 Grammys, with reports indicating his team was trying to track her movements for a potential photo opportunity or discussion.
According to insiders, they were inquiring about which entrance Swift would use and how she would reach her seat.
Nevertheless, no one was willing to help facilitate the encounter.
“No one wanted to create a potentially awkward scenario,” the source mentioned.
With his intentions thwarted, West departed the ceremony alongside his wife, Bianca Censori, and headed to his after-party.
Given the history, it’s clear why Kelce showed no interest in discussing Kanye. His swift response emphasized his priority on football and support for Swift, while dismissing any unnecessary conflict.
