Travis Kelce just tackled a wild rumor with the grace of a tight end dodging clickbait.

The 35-year-old Kansas City Chiefs star—who is not only good at catching footballs but also false claims—found himself in the middle of some community chaos. According to a very official-sounding report by Sports Illustrated (via Foster Love, which sounds like either a non-profit or a rom-com starring Ryan Gosling), Travis had allegedly bought a $3.3 million mansion in Kansas City to turn into a transitional living facility.

Wholesome? Yes. True? Eh, not so much.

Travis addressed the situation on his New Heights podcast with brother Jason—basically the ManningCast but with cooler hair and less forehead—where he cleared things up like a pro:

“Some false claims were thrown out there that I was doing something in the community that I was not. I’m not even going to talk about it specifically.”

Translation: “I could go into it, but I’d rather not give nonsense the clout it’s so desperately craving.”

He continued, probably while sipping something suspiciously bougie like oat milk:

“I don’t want to bring any more attention to that whole nonsense and article and all that stuff. If you ever want to know exactly what I’m doing in the community, just go to 87running.org.”

In case you’re wondering, 87Running is not a website for Kelce stans to rate his touchdowns (though it should be), but actually his legit foundation. Since 2015, it’s been helping disadvantaged youth thrive in areas like education, athletics, business, STEM, and the arts—basically all the stuff that would make your LinkedIn profile look fire.

Travis emphasized that while he’s out here doing real charity work, someone decided to invent a whole side quest for him using AI, vibes, and zero receipts.

“This time, I wasn’t doing what was falsely claimed by the social channels or the outlets posting all this AI stuff.”

AI is writing novels, stealing jobs, and now? Creating fake philanthropy fan fiction. We’ve seen it all.

And to wrap it up like a warm blanket of Midwestern sincerity, Kelce said:

“Just wanted to set the record straight. Appreciate everybody for always trying to show love.”

Travis Kelce is still doing amazing things for the community, just not the fictional community center that the internet manifested out of thin WiFi. You heard it from the man himself, not from your cousin’s ex on Facebook.
