St. Brown described Kansas City as a “medium city.” According to him, the city doesn’t offer the kind of lifestyle or vibe he’d prefer once he has the money to live elsewhere. His tone wasn’t angry, it was just very honest. He didn’t say anything bad about the Kansas City Chiefs or the fans, but made it clear that the city doesn’t match his personal taste.

The comment quickly went viral. The podcast clip was shared on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), and fans immediately reacted. Many were surprised to hear such a blunt opinion from someone in the league, especially from a player like St. Brown, who’s now considered one of the highest-paid wide receivers in the NFL.
