Travis Kelce's ex-girlfriend, Kayla Nicole, appeared to throw shade at the Kansas City Chiefs tight end via an Instagram post on Halloween. Nicole dressed up as singer/songwriter Toni Braxton in a video on her IG post, recreating the iconic "He wasn't man enough" song, while dancing to the lyrics:
"Do you know I dumped your husband, girlfriend? ... Do you know he begged to stay with me? He wasn't man enough for me."•

While many slammed Nicole for her alleged diss toward Kelce, who is now engaged to pop icon Taylor Swift, some big sports media personalities liked her IG post.

Among those who liked the post was Jackson Mahomes, the younger brother of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who is teammates with Kelce. Even Claire Kittle, the wife of San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle, double-tapped on the post.

Even one of Nicole's close friends, Tatiana Elizabeth, seemed to confirm that it was a dig toward Kelce and Swift.
Elizabeth used Swift's 12th studio album, "Life As A Showgirl," which was released in October, as a reference for a comment on the post.
Nicole and Kelce had an on-again/off-again relationship that lasted five years, until they split permanently in 2022.
Kelce reportedly began dating Swift in the summer of 2023. The two got engaged in August, after more than two years of dating.

The Chiefs-Bills Week 9 contest will kick off at 4:25 p.m. ET from Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York.
Kelce has looked solid for the Chiefs this season, recording 474 yards and three touchdowns on 37 receptions, leading the team to a 5-3 record. The three-time Super Bowl winner is expected to play an important role in the matchup against Buffalo.
However, the Bills (5-2) have offensive threats of their own, including superstar quarterback Josh Allen, who won the MVP award last season.
