Kansas City Chiefs fans were overjoyed when the team made it to the Super Bowl LVII. After the game, fans across the globe celebrated the victory of the team, but one person, in particular, faced backlash – Jackson Mahomes, Patrick Mahomes’ younger brother.
Jackson Mahomes is a social media influencer with a massive following of 1.1 million on TikTok. He was filming videos of himself and his friends celebrating their team’s victory when fans began hurling hate at him through social media.
Many fans claimed that Jackson Mahomes was only using his older brother’s success to become famous, and some even suggested that he should get a job instead of living off his brother’s fame.

But in reality, Jackson was only doing what any other fan would have done. Fans of the team were ecstatic about their victory, and Jackson simply wanted to capture those happy moments and share them with his followers.
Despite the hate he received from fans, Jackson Mahomes continues to pursue his career as a social media influencer. He is following his own path and is determined not to let the negative comments affect him. Jackson is fully aware of the pressure that comes with being the younger brother of a successful athlete, but he is learning to navigate through it.
While many fans criticized Jackson, there were still some who stood by him and commended his celebratory videos.
