'Side chick' Tyreek Hill was jealous of Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce's relationship

Publish date: 2024-05-09

Tyreek Hill has revealed the real reason why he left the Kansas City Chiefs.

Hill spent six seasons with the Chiefs, winning Super Bowl LIV alongside Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes, during which time he cemented himself as one of the best wide receivers in the league.

However, 'Cheetah' was involved in a blockbuster trade in 2022 that saw him leave for the Miami Dolphins.

In a recent interview with Robert Griffin III, Hill joked 'he was hurt' with Mahomes because 'he never invited him to his house' like he did with Kelce.

"Pat had Kelce, and I was kinda jealous," Hill said while laughing. "I was hurt, bruh. I was hurt. Patrick, you ain't never invite me over to your house like you did Kelce. You always invited Kelce. That's why we here where we at now."

Hill also went on to describe himself as the “main chick” as it pertained to his role in teams before, saying that he wasn't keen on a “side chick” role in Kansas City.

"I never been anybody's side chick before," Hill said. "Never. Always, my whole life - high school, middle school - all the quarterbacks, (I was their) main chick. Always. I go to K.C., now I'm the side chick."

Hill obviously felt slighted playing second fiddle to Kelce both on and off the field. 

The wideout topped over 1,100 receiving yards in four of his six seasons with the Chiefs and clearly felt frustrated at his limited role in Andy Reid's offense.

Speaking of Reid, Hill also said he had some "dicey" conversations with the Chiefs head coach, as well as Mahomes, before he left for Miami.

He said Mahomes and Reid were the last people he talked to before he was traded.

"Those conversations were kind of dicey," the wide receiver said. "So here we are today."

The 7x Pro Bowler also spoke about the Dolphins' Week 9 matchup with the Chiefs in Germany, which his former team won, 21-14.

Hill said that he didn't feel the same kind of love bumping into Mahomes and Reid as he did with other former teammates such as Kelce.

"I felt great," he said. "You can ask anybody - I'm the kinda person, I don't give a f***, I'm gonna tell you how I feel. If I f*** with you, I f*** with you. If you don't f*** with me, that's cool. You do your thing. I know how I feel about you though. I understand that you may feel some kind of way because of how things played out. I ain't got no control about how you feel…. After the game though, Pat came up to me…"

The Chiefs ultimately ended up winning the Super Bowl last season without Hill, but may be regretting the trade this season as their receiver group continues to struggle.

Hill, meanwhile, leads the NFL with 1,324 receiving yards and 10 touchdown catches this season.
