KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI: Patrick Mahomes Sr had to explain a series of tweets from his X account, one trolling Buffalo Bills, on Tuesday, January 28, after Sunday’s AFC Championship game.

The former MLB pitcher’s son, quarterback Patrick Mahomes, led the Kansas City Chiefs to victory over their long-time playoff rivals, the Buffalo Bills, securing a spot in the Super Bowl for the third consecutive year.

The former baseball star addressed the situation early Wednesday, January 29, on Instagram, stating that his X account had been compromised.

"Haven’t been on Twitter/X in years," Mahomes Sr wrote in a brief statement on his Instagram story. "My account was hacked and I do not have access to it. Plz disregard any tweets from @pmahomes," he wrote.

Despite his claim of inactivity, the account’s last post before this week's game came on November 15, 2024, featuring a throwback photo of a young Patrick Mahomes Jr with his father at a baseball game, noted Daily Mail.

The account has been sporadically active over the past three years, posting only a few times annually.

In a separate Instagram post, Mahomes Sr reiterated that his account had been compromised and clarified his stance regarding the Buffalo Bills.

Mahomes Sr has been in the headlines previously. Last year, he was arrested by the Tyler Police Department on February 3, 2024, just eight days before his son won the Super Bowl for the Chiefs in Las Vegas.

He was later taken to the Smith County Jail and released on a $10,000 bond. Despite the incident, he attended the Super Bowl and watched his son win his third championship ring as the Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in overtime.

In June, Mahomes Sr was arrested again in Texas for driving on a suspended license. However, in early August, he marked six months of sobriety.
