Miami Gardens, FL – For the first time since 1969, the Kansas City Chiefs are Super Bowl Champions. The team beat the San Francisco 49ers at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida on Sunday (February 2) with a score of 31 to 20.
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes led his team to three touchdowns in the final 6:13, providing a thrilling climax to an overall entertaining game.
The 24-year-old finished 26-for-42 with 286 passing yards, 286 passing yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. He also had a rushing touchdown in the first quarter. Subsequently, he was crowned the Super Bowl MVP.
Hip Hop flooded Twitter with reactions to the historic win. Most notably, Kansas City, Missouri native Tech N9ne, who was at the game alongside Strange Music CEO Travis O’Guin and labelmate Krizz Kaliko, shared his excitement with a post celebrating “Red Kingdom,” the “o” replaced with a “9.”
