Before St. Brown and the 4-1 Lions return to Arrowhead Stadium, let’s take a look back at exactly what the star wide receiver said.

Amon-Ra St. Brown comments about Kansas City

Back in April, St. Brown did not mince words on Kansas City after being at the 2025 NFL Draft.

"I've been to Kansas City, I was there for the draft," St. Brown said on his podcast. "Bro I'm sorry, if you have money, I'm not living here after I get some money."

St. Brown faced criticism from fans, some pointing out that he has no Super Bowls compared to the Chiefs’ three since 2020, while others took jabs at the city of Detroit.

The Lions previously faced the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium in the NFL’s 2023 season opener, where St. Brown caught six passes for 71 yards and a touchdown in Detroit’s 21-20 victory.
