The stars were out again in Kansas City on Saturday night as the second ‘Kelce Jam,’ presented by Jim Beam, brought the food and fun. The festival, curated by Kansas City Chiefs Pro Bowl tight end Travis Kelce and Medium Rare, didn’t disappoint with various activities and extraordinary performances from artists Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz, Diplo, and DJ Irie.

Kelce kept the Super Bowl celebration going, taking to the crowd to shake hands, distributing free Wingstop to hungry festival goers, and taking shots of Jim Beam. The festival welcomed several Chiefs teammates, including quarterback Patrick Mahomes, and over 20,000 fans. Mahomes joined Kelce onstage during the “All I Do Is Win” performance with 2 Chainz.

Kelce enjoyed 2 Chainz and Lil Wayne’s joint performance of the hit song “Duffle Bag Boy,” which he mentioned as one of his favorite songs. Kansas City fans got their fill of excitement and fun from the event for a second consecutive year, as the festival continues to be a popular mainstay in the community. The Chiefs get back to work on Monday for Phase 3 of their offseason program with possibly many players, including Kelce and Mahomes, with plenty of motivation to celebrate a three-peat Super Bowl championship and ‘Kelce Jam’ performance.

Chiefs TE Travis Kelce curated the music lineup for ‘Kelce Jam’ festival

#Chiefs Wire’s Ed Easton Jr. spoke to Medium Rare about Travis Kelce’s lineup for ‘Kelce Jam,’ featuring Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz, and Diplo.

‘Kelce Jam’ will return to Kansas City on Saturday, May 18th, for the second consecutive year, bringing music, food, and fun. Medium Rare and Kansas City Chiefs Pro Bowler Travis Kelce are collaborating to bring over 20,000 fans of all ages with a musical guest list of the top names in the industry.

Chiefs Wire’s Ed Easton Jr. spoke to Medium Rare founders Joe Silberzweig and Adam Richman about Travis Kelce’s lineup for ‘Kelce Jam,’ featuring Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz, and Diplo.

“Travis is here curating the lineup. These were names that he sought after, and he knew that they were not only his favorites but also that they had a good pulse on the city,” Richman explained. “Things would be great names for him to bring the KC, and he wants to bring a mix of hip-hop and electronic music. And I think we did a good balancing act by Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz, and Diplo on the electronic side.

“He has his fingers on the city’s pulse and can call in favors against legends that may not have come otherwise. I don’t think Lil Wayne has been in Kansas City for quite some time. (He) may not have come, but when Travis Kelce calls, you answer. That’s proven here, with Lil Wayne being such an iconic legend coming and showing out for ‘Kelce Jam’ because of his and Travis’ relationship.”

Rick Ross, MGK, and Tech N9ine were the headliners last year, and this year’s group looks to build on the inaugural lineup. The music choices from Kelce have focused again on being something everyone can enjoy in Kansas City.

“What was important for Travis is making this festival feel like it’s for everyone and that younger, old, moving families want to come out,” said Silberzweig. “No matter what your tastes are, this festival is for the masses. This is for the people of KC. They get started at $49, And the musical lineup speaks to that, right? It’s a little bit of everything. We have some local DJs opening and building throughout the evening with our headliners.

“Still, we tried to make sure that these are huge names that everybody knows and that, as Adam said, some icons people can sing along to but also show some a Travis style and bring on Diplo, a cool name to get the party going.”

After Warriors vs. Hawks, Steph Curry gifts game worn No. 30 jersey to 2 Chainz courtside

Following the Golden State Warriors’ loss to the Atlanta Hawks, Steph Curry hooked up 2 Chainz with his game-used No. 30 jersey.

Following another one-game absence due to a tailbone contusion, Steph Curry returned to the Golden State Warriors’ starting lineup against the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday.

The seven-time All-Star point guard helped push the Warriors, notching a game-high 37 points on 12-of-23 shooting from the field with five rebounds, two assists and two steals against the Hawks.

However, it wasn’t enough to slow Atlanta’s powerful duo off the bench. Danilo Gallinari paced Atlanta with a team-high 25 points in 25 minutes off the bench. Veteran Lou Williams added to Atlanta’s second unit with 15 points on 5-of-15 shooting from the floor in 26 minutes.

Following Golden State’s 117-111 loss in Atlanta, Curry met with a famous fan at State Farm Arena. After the game, the two-time Most Valuable Player gifted his game-worn No. 30 jersey to 2 Chainz. Curry added a custom signature for the Georgia rapper.

Before dropping hits like “Mercy,” “No Lie” and “No Problem,” 2 Chainz played college basketball at Alabama State University. At All-Star weekend in Atlanta, 2 Chainz linked up with Lil Baby for a two-on-two tilt against fellow rappers Jack Harlow and Quavo. Harlow and Quavo stole the show, dominating the contest 21-7.
