Online discussion is buzzing ahead of the critical Kansas City Chiefs vs. Buffalo Bills game following a controversy involving NFL star Travis Kelce’s ex-girlfriend, Kayla Nicole.

The social media influencer and model, who dated Kelce for five years, sparked outrage and speculation with her Halloween costume choice.

Nicolo dressed up as R&B icon Toni Braxton, specifically recreating the look from the singer’s 2000 hit, “He Wasn’t Man Enough.”

She posted a video dancing to the track whose lyrics include pointed lines about a woman having an ex-boyfriend first and the ex not being “man enough.”

Fan immediately interpreted this as a direct shot at Kelce and his fiancée, global superstar Taylor Swift, especially since Swifties believe Swift recently shaded Nicole in a new song.

However, Nicole has since offered an explanation for her song choice, denying the viral post was meant as a dig at the celebrity couple. Nicole addressed the controversy on her podcast.

“I had a white best friend. Her name was Taylor,” she said. “I specifically remember driving home from private school in my uniform in the back of a paddy wagon with Taylor and her mom was playing this song.”

Nicole clarified that the moment was simply a childhood memory she cherished.

Despite the denial, many fans remain unconvinced, leading to continued debate online just before one of the Chiefs’ biggest games of the season.
