Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is catching heat on social media after getting a new haircut.
During a recent interview with Kansas City news station KCTV, Mahomes showed off his new low-fade haircut. The NFL star explained that he’s wanted to cut his hair for a long time but hesitated due to his superstitions.
“I’ve wanted to do it for a while, but it was kind of one of those superstitions, I kept winning the Super Bowl, which is a good thing, but I didn’t want to cut the hair while I was doing it,” Mahomes said. “I told everybody during the season that win or lose, if we win three in a row or if we lose, I’m getting a haircut like that’s enough. I’m very excited.”
The Chiefs quarterback sparked backlash when he questioned how his teammates let him keep his signature curls, which he referred to as “nappy,” for so long.
“I’ve looked at some videos from last year, and I can’t believe all you guys let me keep that nappy hair for so long, like I look way better now with the short hair, so I’ll be keeping this going forward.”
