Patrick Mahomes has discovered that his influence extends well beyond the football field, with his three-year-old son Bronze developing a taste for rap music that has left the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback celebrating a small victory over his wife, Brittany.
The couple have different musical preferences, with Patrick favoring rap while Brittany frequently listens to country music. Until recently, their son appeared more accustomed to his mother’s playlists, but spending time in the car with his father has apparently changed that.

Mahomes revealed the development in a lighthearted video shared by the Chiefs following their 35-12 victory over the New York Jets, explaining how Bronze had started requesting songs normally associated with his father’s music collection.
The quarterback appeared particularly pleased that his son had developed an affection for “Walk Thru” by Rich Homie Quan, even asking Brittany to change the music when she was listening to country.
However, it was Brittany’s subsequent Instagram response that revealed just how enthusiastically Bronze had embraced his new favorite song.
During the Chiefs’ video, Mahomes was captured discussing his son’s newfound interest in rap while preparing for Sunday’s game against New York.
“My son, Brittany will be listening to music and that boy say, ‘Hey, can I get that Walk Thru by Rich Homie Quan?'” Mahomes explained.
“I finally got Bronze on some like rap music a little bit because you know his mom always listens to country. He started riding with me, I started playing like clean rap music.”
The three-time Super Bowl champion recalled receiving a message from Brittany after Bronze made another unexpected request during one of their listening sessions at home.
“Brittany texted me the other day, they’re listening to country and he goes, ‘Hey Mom, can you play Walk Thru by Rich Homie Quan,'” Mahomes said.
His excitement reflected more than simply introducing Bronze to a different genre, with the quarterback joking that the moment reminded him of his own relationship with his father.
Brittany subsequently reposted the video to her Instagram Stories, confirming that Bronze had become familiar enough with the song to repeat its lyrics.
“Bronze the other day ‘I’m the man when I walk thru’. Yes you sure are kid,” she wrote.
Brittany continues supporting Patrick
The exchange offered another glimpse into family life for Patrick and Brittany, who share three children: Sterling, five, Bronze, three, and Golden, who was born in January 2025.
Away from football, Mahomes has repeatedly spoken about the importance of his wife’s support, particularly during his rehabilitation from the serious knee injury he suffered last season.
Speaking to Mitch Holthus on The Chiefs Kingdom Show, the quarterback explained that his recovery required lengthy daily sessions away from home, leaving Brittany responsible for additional family duties.
“It’s a full commitment from the full family, and I think she did a great job of kind of being that leader of the household when I was having to be in the rehab facility,” Mahomes said.
Brittany later shared the comments on Instagram, expressing her commitment to supporting her husband and children.
While the Chiefs continue monitoring their quarterback’s recovery, Bronze’s increasingly familiar musical preferences have given Mahomes another reason to smile.
