The multi-million-dollar stars offered $500 million to exit
tense conclusion Travis Kelce has spent his entire playing career with the Kansas City Chiefs. Rapper Machine Gun Kelly, though, thinks the four-time All-Pro should move on with his career.
In the podcast episode “Kelly’s New Heights,” released on November 29, Kelly made a personal offer to the tight end, $500,000, to sign with the Cleveland Browns, his hometown team. The rewards didn’t end there.
“I would be remiss, due to the nature of our friendship and just as a Clevelander, if I did not insert this question personally,” the singer said while calling into the show.
“I will give you $500,000 cash upon arrival just for shopping or whatever you want, as well as matching that same amount as a donation to both of our high schools, both Shaker Heights and Cleveland Heights, as well as everyday breakfast and coffee delivery from my restaurant if you would just come home and put on these colors right here.”
Kelly, who owns 27 Club Coffee Shop in Cleveland, flashed his orange and brown merchandise. The “Bloody Valentine” artist knew he was pulling at Kelce’s emotional heartstrings. Before Kansas City selected Kelce in the third round of the 2013 NFL draft, “You know that was the original dream, dog,” the Cincinnati alum said of playing for the Browns.
“I’ll tell you what, man. That is an intriguing offer,” Kelce continued. “It is an intriguing offer because you know how much we love the east side of Cleveland, the Heights, Shaker Heights, and Cleveland Heights; you already know, brother.”
But the franchise star isn’t leaving the Chiefs, where he’s won two Super Bowl rings. “I’m not gonna lie—the situation’s really good in Kansas City.”

Kelly tried to sweeten the deal by offering to “make beats in the locker room every day” and to “set up a studio in the closet” if it would get Kelce to “come home.” However, MGK would need to seriously up the ante to get Kelce to switch teams.
Kelce signed a four-year, $57.25 million extension with the Chiefs in 2020, which included $22.75 in guaranteed money. The veteran understands he could demand a much higher paycheck, but he’s content with his status in Kansas City.
“My managers and agents love to tell me how underpaid I am,” Kelce told Vanity Fair in an interview published in June. “Any time I talk about wanting more money, they’re just like, ‘Why don’t you go to the Chiefs and ask them?’”
