Selema Masekela had high praise for Travis Kelce.
The Kansas City Chiefs star left an impression on the X Games host, which Masekela expressed in an April 17 Instagram post.
Masekela met Kelce for a one-on-one interview and described him as ‘the absolute genuine guy’, including a moment where they were chatting in a kitchen. In the same post, the commenter shared a photo with Olympic surfer Carissa Moore at her book launch in New York City the previous day.
‘Yesterday versus today. It’s the only week a GOAT has,” Masekela wrote.
“Brooklyn @pilgrimsurfsupply with the incredible @rissmoore10’s for her book release celebrating Hawaiian culture,” he continued. “Then I got a call at the last minute to do a one-on-one in LA with @killatrav, who ended up being the absolute most genuine guy ever. Enjoy the muhfuggin journey!!!!!’

Additionally, Masekela raved about Kelce being an X Games fan, writing, “I know @killatrav’s choice is going to break your brain @ryanrunke. And yes, he’s a huge fan of @xgames.’
Masekela’s one-on-one interview with Kelce in the City of Angels appeared to be recorded days before the tight end’s girlfriend Taylor Swift made waves with her new album The Tortured Poets Department.
In the album, Swift seemingly references their high-profile relationship with lines like “Dating the boy on the football team.” Fans also speculated that Swift is referring to Kelce with the line, “In the blink of a crinkling eye,” in her song “So High School.”
The fourteen-time Grammy winner also addressed Kelce’s infamous 2016 interview in the song “Kiss, Marry, Kill.” The segment with AfterBuzz TV resurfaced when the couple started dating last year. During the interview, Kelce had to choose between Swift, Katy Perry and Ariana Grande – choosing to “marry” Perry and “kiss” Swift.
On release day, Kelce also made a cameo with Swift to promote her single “Fortnight.” In the YouTube short, Kelce kisses Swift on the cheek in a home video as the singer prepares a meal.
