With the Kansas City Chiefs looking to return to the Super Bowl, they must first travel to Baltimore and face off against the Ravens and their star quarterback Lamar Jackson. A Raven since being drafted in the first round of the NFL draft in 2018, Jackson does more than play football as he owns a restaurant, holds endorsements from Oakley, and even once appeared in a music video alongside rapper Kodak Black.

Jackson grew up far from Baltimore in Pompano Beach, Florida. It just so happened that both Jackon and Black went to the same elementary school in the area. Sharing a connection, the pair eventually linked up in the music video for rapper Loe Shimmy’s song “Bounty” in 2022. Fans noticed Jackson in the video.
