Kelce Raps Beastie Boys Song In Epic Performance
Fresh off a win against the Eagles, Travis Kelce appeared on "The Tonight Show" to discuss what it feels like to take home another Super Bowl win, and what he did to prep for the big game.
The Chiefs tight-end has been open about his pre-game prep, which includes listening to one of his Apple Music playlists. One of his hype songs is the Beastie Boys’ “(You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party!)," which he actually referenced the lyrics to in his post-game speech after the Chiefs beat the Bengals in the AFC title game. He also mentioned lyrics from the song following the Chiefs Super Bowl win on Sunday.
After finding out how much Kelce loves this song, Jimmy Fallon and The Roots decided to have some fun, and ask the tight end to perform the song on stage -- to which Kelce did not hesitate.
