Chiefs fans, listen up—someone out there is trying to break up the team, and they were so bold as to do it on record!

During the newest episode of New Heights, star tight end Travis Kelce received a call mid-show, where the voice on the other end tried to convince him to ditch Kansas City with an enticing offer of $500,000 in cash—with the added bonus of an equal match donation to his highschool, Cleveland Heights.

Who would be so bold as to try to initiate a transfer of one of the most popular players in the NFL at the moment, you may ask? Weirdly enough, Machine Gun Kelly.

The rapper practically attempted to bribe Kelce to return to their hometown, putting all his cards—or cash, as it were—on the table.

"I'll give you five hundred thousand dollars cash upon arrival...as well as matching that same amount as a donation to both of our high schools, Shaker Heights and Cleveland Heights," he offered, adding on the promise of a daily delivery of breakfast and coffee from his restaurant, "if you just come home and put on these colors right here..."

Jason Kelce's loud reaction overtakes the rest of MGK's request, but the gist is that he wants Travis to transfer to the Cleveland Browns.

"You know that was the dream," Travis replied, laughing alongside his brother. "I'll tell you what, man, that is an intriguing offer," he admitted. But things are going "pretty good" in Kansas City, despite the fact that he once cried in Coach Chudzinski's face, pleading with him to draft him to Cleveland the year he joined the NFL.

The rapper wasn't backing down that easily, though. He kept things low-pressure, assuring Kelce that his offer wasn't on a strict timeline but that it was "real [and] on the table." He couldn't help but to try to sweeten the deal a little more, though, adding a new offer to "make beats in the locker room every day" if he makes the move. 

Travis agreed to think about it if Jason did, too, though if they were to both head back home, MGK says they'd need to "split the 500K." That's all right with Jason, as long as he can cash in on the free coffee, too.
