Jackson Mahomes (born May 15, 2000) is an American social media influencer and entrepreneur. He is best known for his activity on platforms such as TikTok and Instagram, where he posts lifestyle, dance, and lip-sync content. As the younger brother of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Jackson has gained significant attention and built a following of his own.

Early Life and Education

Jackson Mahomes was born in Tyler, Texas, to Pat Mahomes, a former Major League Baseball pitcher, and Randi Mahomes. Growing up in a sports-oriented family, Jackson showed a passion for basketball during his time at Whitehouse High School in Whitehouse, Texas. As a 6'6" shooting guard, he played for the school’s basketball team, where he was known for his impressive height and athletic potential. However, unlike his brother Patrick, Jackson chose not to pursue a professional sports career, focusing instead on his burgeoning interest in social media and content creation.

Career

Jackson Mahomes gained prominence in 2019 through TikTok, where his energetic and often comedic videos resonated with younger audiences. His content primarily features trending challenges, collaborations with other influencers, and behind-the-scenes glimpses of life as a member of a high-profile sports family.

In addition to his social media career, Jackson has explored ventures in branding and merchandise. He launched his own apparel line, which includes casual wear and accessories targeting his Gen Z fanbase.

Public Perception and Controversies

Jackson Mahomes has been a polarizing figure in the public eye. While he is praised for his vibrant personality and authenticity, he has also faced criticism for some of his public behavior, particularly during NFL games and events. Certain incidents have drawn media attention, with detractors questioning his actions in public spaces:

Dancing on Sean Taylor's Memorial Logo: In October 2021, during a Kansas City Chiefs game against the Washington Commanders, Jackson filmed a TikTok dance on a sideline area designated as a memorial to Sean Taylor, a late Washington player. The act was met with significant backlash, with critics calling it disrespectful. Jackson later apologized, claiming he was unaware of the significance of the area.

Incidents at Bars and Restaurants: In December 2021, Jackson publicly criticized a Kansas City bar on social media, alleging poor service. The bar responded with a statement calling his behavior entitled, sparking a heated exchange online.

Public Behavior: Jackson has been criticized for his actions during NFL games, including interactions with fans and on-field antics. While some see his behavior as playful and entertaining, others view it as disruptive.

Legal Allegations: In early 2023, Jackson faced legal scrutiny after allegations of inappropriate behavior at a Kansas City nightclub. While he denied any wrongdoing, the situation garnered significant media attention.

Despite these incidents, Jackson continues to have a loyal fanbase and remains active on social media.

Personal Life

Jackson is a vocal supporter of his brother Patrick’s football career and often attends Kansas City Chiefs games. He is active in his family’s charitable foundation, 15 and the Mahomies, which supports children’s health, wellness, and community initiatives.
