Singer, rapper and songwriter Post Malone is hosting a beer pong tournament called “The Ballina-Cup,” which will be aired on Instagram Live this week. Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is listed as one of the 16 participants, along with Detroit Lions wide receiver Danny Amendola and former NFL players Johnny Manziel and Rob Gronkowski.

MIKE adds that all proceeds from the competition will be donated to COVID-19 aid.
According to Bleacher Report’s Adam Lefkoe, Kelce and Patrick Mahomes defeated Post Malone in beer pong 15 times in a row on the night of his concert in Kansas City on February 5, which fell on the same day as the team’s Super Bowl parade.

Mahomes and Kelce beat him not once...
Not twice...
But 15 games in a row
Post was switching partners after every game, even @SwaeLee caught an L.
