ChiefsAholic robbed 11 banks to watch Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce in person—now he's behind bars for 49 years
We've seen crazy sports fans before, but this guy took things to an entirely new level. On today's Pat McAfee Show, the crew dug into the absolutely unhinged saga of ChiefsAholic, the Kansas City superfan who didn't just buy tickets and scream in the stands, he robbed banks to afford his obsession with
Patrick Mahomes
,
Travis Kelce
, and Andy Reid.
Yep. Full-on armed robberies. For the love of football.
ChiefsAholic was a viral fan until the mask came off and the FBI stepped in
Xaviar Babudar, better known by his wolf-masked alter ego
ChiefsAholic
, became a staple of Kansas City's fanbase. You couldn't miss him, decked out in full gear, barking like a maniac, living his best football life.
But behind that costume? A completely different story. Turns out he was committing a string of bank robberies across multiple states, 11 confirmed jobs, stealing more than $800,000 just to keep up with his NFL travels, gambling habits, and Chiefs lifestyle.
From superfan to super-felon: He's now sentenced to decades behind bars
Babudar's story caught fire again today after McAfee reminded everyone that this guy isn't just sitting in jail, he's got a mountain of time ahead of him.
In September 2024, he was sentenced to 17.5 years in federal prison.
Then in May 2025, Oklahoma slapped him with another 32 years for robbing a credit union in Tulsa.
That means he could serve up to 49 years, though he's more likely to do around 32 if sentences run consecutively.
From catching touchdowns in Arrowhead to catching federal indictments, the falloff was steep.
What hit McAfee hardest was how deep the fandom ran. ChiefsAholic wasn't just a bandwagon guy, he idolized Mahomes, Kelce, and Reid to the point of obsession. And he wasn't just showing up on Sundays. He was committing felonies just to stay close to the team, city-hopping from game to game using stolen money.

Let that sink in.
Pat summed it up on-air: 'This might be the wildest NFL fan story I've ever heard.'
On paper, it's just a story about a fan. But when you hear it broken down especially by someone like Pat McAfee, it hits different. This wasn't a clout chaser. This was a guy who genuinely loved the Chiefs so much, he gave up his freedom to follow them around.

Everything to know about PandaNinjaXx and her claims against CoryxKenshin
Image via Youtube In July 2025, TikToker PandaNinjaXx gained the attention of many people by being a part of a string of videos claiming emotional abuse by a popular YouTuber, CoryxKenshin. The scenario ran quickly through the social media platforms, attracting arguments and anxiety on both YouTube and TikTok. Although the accusations were not criminal, they shed light on the emotional aspects of relationships between influencers. PandaNinjaXx explained that her postings were not aimed at branding or slandering CoryxKenshin of any illegal activity, but at telling a first-hand account. So this is what is known so far about the claims. Who is PandaNinjaXx, and what are the Allegations? The CoryxKenshin Allegations PandaNinjaXx is a TikTok user and says she was once the girlfriend of CoryxKenshin and has uploaded several videos in July 2025 to that effect. She also included the emotional costs of their purported relationship and alleged that the YouTuber was a manipulative person. The videos went viral immediately, and some due diligence and internet speculations were raised. Key claims made by PandaNinjaXx: Emotional manipulation: She explained her experiences that being ghosted by CoryxKenshin would ignore her as a way to 'teach her a lesson.' Leaving her with self-doubt about her worth. Gaslighting and control: According to her, he used his influence and status to keep control over her, leaving her feeling worthless and confused. Inappropriate behavior: There was even one audio clip, which was supposedly recorded by CoryxKenshin (CoryxKenshin, 2020), where he mentions watching her sleeping and citing a fetish, which, understandably, disturbed most people who had watched the video. Crude text messages: She also posted some screenshots of Xbox chat logs where he allegedly made crude comments, making vulgar remarks about using her for sex and companionship. Clarifications from PandaNinjaXx: PandaNinjaXx made it clear regarding her allegations that she wasn't accusing CoryxKenshin of anything like assault or cheating. Her intention, according to follow-up videos, was to talk about her pain and bring awareness to toxic relationship patterns, not to destroy or defame CoryxKenshin. She even asked followers not to spread misinformation, especially her claims that she had never mentioned before. The PandaNinjaXx and CoryxKenshin cheating scandal has generated a serious debate regarding emotional abuse, responsibility, and privacy of people and their personal revelations made over the internet. Although the case has not been pursued legally, the narrative is a heart-wrenching reminder of the actual emotional battles that may be behind the popularity of an influencer. At the moment, CoryxKenshin has not publicly commented on the situation. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!
