Travis Kelce thinks people who believe he created the fade are absolutely ridiculous. He wants nothing to do with what The New York Times recently reported especially with it coming on the very first day of Black History Month.
“It’s absolutely ridiculous,” he said on Tuesday during the Super Bowl media availability. “And to do it on February 1 — to throw me to the wolves like that — that was messed up, man. I don’t want anything to do with that one.”

Shannon Sharpe and Chad Ochocino recently reacted to the article posted by the New York Times as well.
“Ocho, I’ve been getting a fade since ’86,” Sharpe said. “Wait, he don’t have a fade, he got a buzz cut. Like when you go to the Army bro, how bro,” Johnson responded. Shannon then aimed his criticism at the NYT. He called out the publication for “doing this during Black History Month.” “So, New York Times, so that’s how you start Black History? Giving Trav — and that’s my nephew — you gonna give him credit for the fade? We’ve been seeing the fade for years!”
Travis caught wind of the video and stated that he wasn’t the creator of the timeless cut. He also called the headlines “wild” and said that the haircut was something that existed before he did. “These headlines are wild,” Kelce wrote. “The fade has been around long before my life even began.”
