<p id=”par-2_55″>Travis Kelce is allegedly hoping to confront Kanye “Ye” West about West’s latest defamation against Taylor Swift. West made claims about Swift’s sex life unprovoked. The rapper continues to shock fans with his online content, as he also talked negatively about Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s kids and threatened to wage war against ex-wife Kim Kardashian. </p>
<p id=”par-3_47″><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/taylor-swift-kept-framed-photo-moment-kanye-west-interrupted-vma-speech.html/”>West and Swift have a feud stemming</a> from a 2009 incident at the MTV Video Music Awards. After Swift won the award for Best Female Video, West jumped on stage and interrupted Swift’s moment. Their feud continued when West rapped about Swift in his song, “Famous.” </p>
<p id=”par-4_21″>“I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / I made that b**** famous,” he states in the song.</p>
<p id=”par-5_51″>As for West’s recent jab at Swift, a source told <a href=”https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-14597169/Taylor-Swift-Travis-Kelce-Kanye-West-legal-action-justin-bieber-sex-smear.html” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>DailyMail.com</a> that Kelce is “supporting” Swift as she navigates her next move. “There must be consequences,” the source said. “West would never dare say this to her face.” The source noted that <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/travis-kelce-wants-speak-kanye-west-man-man-wests-defamatory-taylor-swift-remarks-source-says.html/”>Kelce hoped to speak to West “man to man.”</a></p>
<p id=”par-6_67″>Sports bettors at <a href=”https://www.actionnetwork.com/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>The Action Network</a> noted whether Kelce or West would win in a hypothetical fight. Bettors gave an implied probability of around 71% that Kelce would win the fight outright. West was only given an 18% chance of winning outright. Bettors gave the NFL player and rapper around a 12% chance of the fight going the full distance — three rounds back and forth. </p>

<p id=”par-7_47″>Kanye “Ye” West is known for his incredible songwriting abilities. While his recent online behavior has turned a lot of fans away from his music, he’ll still be remembered for his music. So, does this mean West is a shoo-in for winning a rap battle against Kelce?</p>
<p id=”par-8_47″>According to sports bettors at The Action Network, West has a 60% implied probability of winning the rap battle. Kelce only has a 28% chance of winning the battle. There’s an 11% implied probability that the rap battle ends in a tie or has an undecided outcome.</p>
<p id=”par-9_41″>“Kanye’s legacy of ground-breaking albums and proven wordsmith skills makes him the favorite at -150,” The Action Network writes. “Yet, Kelce’s gridiron bravado and unexpected charisma might surprise us all at +250 if he channels his competitive fire into captivating verses.”</p>

<p id=”par-10_43″>Travis Kelce is proving to be a jack of all trades. Not only is he a star on the Kansas City Chiefs, but he also made a splash in the entertainment industry after becoming a high-profile figure thanks to dating Taylor Swift. </p>
<p id=”par-11_61″>In 2023, he showed off his singing chops while on <em>The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon</em>. Kelce commanded attention by playing the air guitar with his microphone and singing the Beastie Boys’ “Fight For Your Right.” It’s unlikely that Kelce will pursue a career in the music industry — but he certainly has the charisma to amp up a crowd. </p>
<p id=”par-12_16″>So, would he give West a run for his money? Unfortunately, we may never find out.</p>
