Having traveled to Paris and South Africa, Kayren got back in touch with football upon her return to America. She admits she has a thing for quarterbacks in her 4 part series. After Cam Newton retired, she couldn’t find the QB for her until she heard of Patrick Mahomes. Ever since then, she has kept up with Mahomes developing an affinity towards him. Making upwards of 70 videos in a bid to meet her favorite QB might seem a little bit unhinged, but its nothing compared to another Chiefs fans, whose story shocked fans.

With Kayren Spain, the vibe of a superfan is what everyone expects and thinks of. Kind natured, soft-spoken fan who wants to meet their favorite superstar once in their life. But there also other superfans who have been earmarked for the wrong reasons. With Chiefs’ superfan allegedly involved in a bank robbery.
Xaviar Babudar, a big fan of the Chiefs was found to be involved in nefarious activities. With his arrest in Oklahoma, clarity and light shed upon the situation as Babudar was accused of one charge of armed robbery and assault back in December. After being released on bond, he fled before his court appearance and has been on the run ever since. This saw him make the most wanted list for Kansas City.
