Patrick Mahomes says his father is "doing good" following his DWI arrest ... but the Chiefs star didn't want to reveal much further about his dad's legal issues, explaining, "It's a family matter."

The quarterback opened up briefly about Patrick Mahomes Sr.'s situation while he was on the podium at Super Bowl Opening Night at Allegiant Stadium on Monday ... after he was asked twice about his pops' run-in with cops on Saturday in Texas.

He kept things short and sweet ... saying at first, "I don't really want to get into it too much, but he's doing good for whatever the situation is."

Then, he shut down the line of questioning ... adding in a follow-up, "It's a family matter. So I'll just keep it to the family. And, that's all I really have to say at this point."

As we reported, Mahomes Sr. was booked on a charge of driving while impaired over the weekend after authorities claimed he showed signs of being intoxicated during a routine traffic stop in Tyler.

Authorities wrote in police documents that Mahomes Sr. admitted to having "a few beers while watching a game at a local bar" before getting behind the wheel. They added he also had an open 16-ounce can of Coors in his center console.

It's Mahomes Sr.'s third DWI -- and if he's convicted this time, he's facing up to 10 years behind bars.

However, Mahomes Sr. will still be allowed to travel to Vegas to watch his son in Super Bowl LVIII despite the troubles ... the judge who handled his case did not impose a travel ban as part of his bond conditions. It remains to be seen, though, if the younger Mahomes will now want him in attendance.

Killer Mike's Son Kidney Transplant Complete ... He 'Did Really Well'

Killer Mike and his family are breathing a collective sigh of relief ... the surgery to give his son a new kidney went successfully.

Mike tells us his 21-year-old son Mikael "Pony Boy" Render came through the transplant, and "did really well." He says Pony will be in recovery for a few hours before he's moved back to his hospital room, but they're already seeing some positive signs -- Mike says it "looks like the kidney is already working."

TMZ broke the story ... Pony went into surgery Monday morning, after waiting 3 years for a matching organ. It's been an ongoing health issue that Mike has been very open about.

His son's lifesaving surgery comes on the heels of one of Mike's most memorable days, professionally, for good and bad reasons.

As we reported, Killer Mike cleaned up at the Grammys on Sunday ... winning 3 awards for Best Rap Song, Best Rap Album and Best Rap Performance -- however, moments later he was in handcuffs for allegedly getting physical with a security guard at the Grammys venue, Crypto.com Arena.

Mike was booked for misdemeanor battery, and released on his own recognizance -- in fact, he was still able to step out Sunday night and celebrate his Grammy wins.

All of that was firmly in his rearview, though, when the family got word Pony was cleared for surgery.

La hija de The Rock -la superestrella de NXT Ava- dice que su bandeja de entrada ha sido inundada de hate por la nueva polémica de la WWE que involucra a su famoso padre, alegando que ha estado recibiendo amenazas de muerte.

Los fans de la lucha libre se han levantado en armas tras la aparición de Dwayne Johnson en SmackDown la semana pasada, con muchos criticando el movimiento, ya que aparentemente tiene que ver con Cody Rhodes y Roman Reigns.

Ava es aparentemente intentó calmar las cosa cuando entró a las redes sociales para hacerle frente a la reacción violenta el lunes.

"Ava -Gerente General de NXT- dijo en X: "¿Amenazas de muerte por una situación en la que no tengo nada que ver?... bffr".

Nada está escrito en piedra cuando se trata de The Rock y Roman, pero hay rumores de que los dos podrían enfrentarse en WrestleMania en abril, lo que cabrearía a muchos fans, ya que Cody se ganó ese derecho después de ganar el Royal Rumble el mes pasado.

Independientemente de lo que suceda, Ava está dejando claro que ella no está involucrada... para que la gente pueda dirigir sus frustraciones a otra parte.

The Rock's Daughter I'm Getting Death Threats Over WWE Controversy ... Leave Me Out Of It!!!

The Rock's daughter -- NXT Superstar Ava -- says her inbox has been flooded with hate over WWE's new storyline involving her famous pops ... claiming she's been on the receiving end of death threats over the whole ordeal.

Wrestling fans have been up in arms following Dwayne Johnson's appearance on SmackDown last week ... with many criticizing the move as it seemingly derailed what was brewing between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns.

Ava is seemingly catching strays in the process ... 'cause she went to social media to address the backlash on Monday.

Regardless of what happens, Ava is making it clear she's not involved ... so people can direct their frustrations elsewhere.

STEVE HARWELL, C-KNIGHT GRAMMYS MEMORIAM SNUB DISRESPECTUL ... Say Outraged Families

Steve Harwell and C-Knight's omissions from the Grammys' "In Memoriam" segment Sunday was rude and disrespectful ... according to their nearest and dearest.

Robert Hayes, a rep for Smash Mouth's late lead singer, is hurt over the snub ... though he tells TMZ it didn't surprise him because the Recording Academy never acknowledged Steve when he was alive ... so why would they honor him when he passed?

Smash Mouth was nominated for a Grammy once, in 2000, but didn't win.

His remarks were cutting ... asking who even bothered to watch the Grammys anymore -- and expressing his belief the award ceremony hadn't been good in more than 20 years.

Steve left a lasting influence in the music industry before he passed away in Sept 2023 ... and only 2 months later, fellow artist C-Knight also died, having been taken off life support following complications from diabetes.

C-Knight's brother George Lee Blount echoed similar feelings of hurt and outrage over the "In Memoriam" exclusion.

George tells TMZ ... while C-Knight and his band The Dove Shack never scooped a Grammy, their impact on G-funk and hip hop is undeniable -- adding he was a hip hop legend, and the least they could've done was give him a mention.

George is hoping the same mistake doesn't happen again, urging the Grammys to do more research into artists to understand the hard work and sacrifice they put into their music careers.

For a fair system, he urges Grammys to be more like the BET Awards ... noting they have a better understanding of Black artists and, therefore, can appropriately award artists who've made an impact in music.

Killer Mike Son Getting Kidney Transplant ... After Mike's Grammys Arrest

Killer Mike's officially putting his arrest at the Grammys on the back burner, because after a long wait, his oldest son is finally getting a kidney transplant ... TMZ Hip Hop has learned.

Sources connected to the Grammy-winning rapper tell us Mike is with his son Mikael "Pony Boy" Render Monday as he undergoes the transplant surgery. The 21-year-old has been waiting for a kidney match for 3 years.

Back in November, Mikael got bumped up on the transplant waitlist, and his proud dad talked about it during an interview with Graham Bensinger.

Mike has said Mikael -- who's a musician and rapper, just like Dad -- never had a chance to fully experience his teenage years, because of his battle with kidney disease.

The fact Pony Boy's number got called for the transplant today, of all days, seems like a strange twist of fate ... considering his dad's weekend of some major ups and downs.

TMZ broke the story ... Killer Mike was awarded 3 Grammys Sunday at L.A.'s Crytpo.com Arena -- but he also got arrested.

Patrick Mahomes Sr. Still Able To Travel To Super Bowl ... Despite DWI Arrest

Patrick Mahomes' father will still be allowed to travel to the Super Bowl this weekend in spite of his Saturday arrest ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Judge James Meredith -- who handled the case in Smith County, Texas on Sunday following Mahomes Sr.'s DWI arrest -- tells us he didn't impose any travel ban on the elder Mahomes as part of his bond conditions ... paving the way for Dad to watch his son play in Las Vegas in SB LVIII.

Of course, it's unclear if the Chiefs star will want him there now following the added distraction in the leadup to the Big Game ... but, at least in the eyes of the law, Mahomes Sr. will be allowed to leave the state for it.

As part of the conditions of his bond, however, we're told Mahomes Sr. will not be able to take part in much partying in Sin City if he does make the trip. Law enforcement officials say he's been barred from possessing or consuming alcohol and/or illegal drugs. He's also been required to have an interlock device on his car -- as well as submit to random testing.

MILEY CYRUS ACHY BREAKY HEART FOR DAD BILLY!!! No Mention in Her Grammys Speech

Getting Her Flowers
CBS

Miley Cyrus' big night at the Grammys -- scooping up 2 trophies -- is raising eyebrows because she totally excluded her dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, from her acceptance speeches.

Miley first bagged the Best Pop Solo Performance Award for her hit song "Flowers" before the song later cinched the Record of the Year trophy -- and while she thanked several key people in her life onstage, she notably omitted mention of the iconic country musician.

The former Disney star went through the laundry list of people she wanted to thank -- her team, everyone onstage with her, her BF Maxx Morando, as well as her mom, Tish Cyrus, and sister, Brandi Cyrus -- but Billy didn't get a coveted shout-out.

The snub was even more pronounced as Miley made a concerted effort to ensure she didn't overlook anyone ... turning to her team behind her, asking: "Anyone else? Your wife, your fiancée, all the people that we love. Thank you all so much."

Even her undergarments got a playful shout-out, as she joked: "I don't think I forgot anyone. But, I might have forgotten underwear. Bye!" ... but as for a mention of Billy? Nada!

The omission may be a wholly innocent slip of the mind or may allude to an extension of reports from 2022 that Miley's relationship with Billy was strained following his divorce from Tish ... who attended the Grammys with her daughter.

Remember, Miley once shared a special bond with Billy who played a pivotal role in launching her career through "Hannah Montana" -- they shared the screen on all 4 seasons of the TV show, and the subsequent film.

If there is family tension, Miley didn't show it though -- she was glowing during the rest of her acceptance speech, saying: "This award is amazing, but I really hope it doesn't change anything because my life was beautiful yesterday."

Miley added, "Not everyone will get a Grammy, but everyone in this world is spectacular, so please don't think this is important, even though it's very important."

During the ceremony, she also had a pretty incredible live performance of "Flowers" -- and, apparently, does not need her pops to buy her any.

Miley Cyrus deja a su padre Billy Ray Cyrus Fuera del discurso de aceptación de los Grammy

REGALÁNDOLE FLORES
CBS

La gran noche de Miley Cyrus en los Grammy -en la que se llevó dos trofeos- está dando que hablar porque excluyó por completo a su padre, Billy Ray Cyrus, de su discurso de agradecimiento.

Miley se llevó primero el premio a la mejor actuación pop en solitario por su éxito "Flowers" antes de que la canción consiguiera el trofeo a la mejor grabación del año, y aunque le dio las gracias a varias personas clave en su vida en el escenario, omitió notablemente al icónico músico country.

La ex estrella de Disney nombró a su equipo, todo el mundo en el escenario con ella, su novio Maxx Morando, así como su madre, Tish Cyrus, y su hermana, Brandi Cyrus, pero no hubo mención a Billy.

El desaire fue aún más pronunciado cuando Miley hizo un esfuerzo concertado para asegurarse de que no pasaba por alto a nadie, dirigiéndose a su equipo detrás de ella, preguntando: "¿Alguien más? Tu mujer, tu prometida, toda la gente que queremos. Muchas gracias a todos".

Incluso su ropa interior recibió un juguetón saludo, bromeando: "No creo que me haya olvidado de nadie. Pero puede que me haya olvidado de la ropa interior. Adiós". ¿Alguna mención a Billy? Nada.

La omisión puede ser un desliz totalmente inocente o puede aludir a una extensión de los informes de 2022 que aseguran que la relación de Miley y Billy se tornó tensa después de su divorcio de Tish, que asistió a los Grammy con su hija.

Recordemos que Miley compartió un vínculo especial con Billy, quien jugó un papel fundamental en el lanzamiento de su carrera a través de "Hannah Montana", compartieron la pantalla durante las 4 temporadas de la serie de televisión y la película posterior.

Si hay tensión familiar, Miley no lo demostró, ella estaba radiante durante el resto de su discurso de aceptación, diciendo: "Este premio es increíble, pero realmente espero que no cambie nada porque mi vida era hermosa ayer".

Miley añadió: "No todo el mundo conseguirá un Grammy, pero todo el mundo es espectacular, así que por favor no piensen que esto es fundamental, aunque sí es un gran honor".

La madre de Christian McCaffrey boicotea a Taylor Swift antes del Super Bowl

Taylor Swift acaba de perder una fan, al menos temporalmente, porque la madre de Christian McCaffrey dice que está apagando todas las pistas de Swift hasta que el Super Bowl termine.

Lisa McCaffrey habló en su pódcast "Tu mamá" el viernes, y dijo que está solidarizando con su hijo de los San Francisco 49ers.

Por supuesto ... los Niners se enfrentan a Travis Kelce y los Chiefs por el Trofeo Lombardi el próximo domingo, por lo que Swift y su base de fans son todos los Chiefs, todo el tiempo para la próxima semana - algo que LM no puede soportar.

Ella fue elogiosa con Taylor, diciendo lo mucho que ama a la cantautora ... pero el boicot es muy real y Tay está "muerta" para ella esta semana.

Aunque no sabemos con certeza si Taylor va a aparecer a SB LVIII ... sabemos que Lisa va a estar allí - porque su pronto-a-ser nuera puso el dinero para una suite después de McCaffrey dijo que no podía permitirse uno.

Como informamos anteriormente, Olivia Culpo -que está comprometida con CMC- pagó por la suite en el Estadio Allegiant, aparentemente como un regalo de cumpleaños para su futura suegra luego de que Lisa bromeara con que Christian y Olivia ni siquiera podían conseguir una. ¡Hablando de una gran sorpresa de cumpleaños!

She was complimentary of Taylor, saying how much she loves the singer-songwriter ... but the boycott's very real and Tay is "dead" to her this week.

While we don't know for certain if Taylor's showing up to SB LVIII ... we do know Lisa's gonna be there -- 'cause her soon-to-be daughter-in-law ponied up the cash for a suite after McCaffrey said she couldn't afford one.

As we previously reported ... Olivia Culpo -- who's engaged to CMC -- paid for the suite at Allegiant Stadium seemingly as a birthday get for her future mother-in-law after Lisa joked that "moneybags" Christian and Olivia couldn't even get one. Talk about a huge birthday surprise!
