Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney recently went viral after he accused the team of lying about his injuries in a rant right before the AFC Championship Game kickoff. Toney was ruled out of the game due to a lingering hip injury and "personal reasons," which was revealed to be the birth of his daughter.
However, during Super Bowl Media Day on Monday (February 5), Toney was asked about the rant, and he claimed he was never going at Chiefs fans. He explained, "It kind of started like that. In the process of that, I got interrupted so it got like a mixed message behind it, I guess you could say. Then, a lot of footage got chopped up in the release, so it made it like I was attacking doing what I love the most. . .
He added, "I never attacked the Chiefs, never said anything about the Chiefs. Who I was referring to was the Giants fans and the people in my comment box, not even on my live recording, so you wouldn’t even know they were there. But I was referring to them, which I shouldn’t have. I just wanted to go out there. I just wanted to get my message across as far as my injury, but I shouldn’t have did that at the end of the day."
Toney went on to take accountability for his statement, "I’m a man, and I can accept my mistakes just like I can accept my wins. But I’m just moving past it right now. We’re heading out. We’re just trying to win."
