The father of Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce has criticized the X social media platform over its recent reporting on arms dealers in Yemen, and said Kelce is no longer welcome on the platform.
Ed Kelsey shared an article based on a report in the London Times that claimed that arms dealers in the war-torn country were selling weapons in X and appeared to be doing business in the capital, Sanaa, territory controlled by the Houthi rebels.

Kelsey shared the article on her Facebook page.
“Arms dealers are free to peddle their wares on X, but I was permanently banned and they didn't give me a reason, just a general 'terms of use' violation,” he wrote.
Mr X declined to comment on the Times of London report.

Kelsey is apparently active on Facebook, as Travis revealed on Bussin' with the Boys in June. Travis said his dad has been seeing rumors and false posts about him and Taylor Swift on Facebook. Kelsey said that at the very least, his dad reaches out to make sure things are going well at home.
“You know what he'll do? He'll see something cool and he'll be like, 'What is this?'” the three-time Super Bowl champion said. “It'll be something really out of the blue, like me and Taylor. He'll be like, 'Hey, what, are you guys OK?'”
“I said, 'Dad, get off Facebook. Are you kidding me?' It's his search engine.”
