Travis Kelce Sets the Record Straight on His Iconic Haircut

Shannon Sharpe and Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson criticize the New York Times for attributing the popular fade haircut solely to NFL star Travis Kelce, arguing that it has been a part of American culture since the 1940s and 1950s, pioneered by the U.S. military and prominent in Black barbershops. Travis Kelce responds, stating that the fade has been around long before his time. The controversy highlights concerns about cultural appropriation and the media's lack of cultural competency. Additionally, mainstream media platforms are criticized for giving Taylor Swift credit for popularizing the "Swag Surfin" dance, despite it being a staple at HBCU events for years.
