ChiefsAholic: A Wolf in Chiefs Clothing
ChiefsAholic: A Wolf in Chief’s Clothing is a true-crime documentary that unravels the story of Kansas City Chiefs superfan and serial bank robber Xaviar Babudar—famously known as "ChiefsAholic." Recognized for his distinctive wolf costume and boisterous social media antics, Babudar rose to fame as one of Kansas City’s most fervent fans. However, a suspected secret life came to light when he was arrested in Bixby, Oklahoma in December 2022 for what police claim to be a string of bank robberies. Through interviews granted by Babudar himself, ChiefsAholic: A Wolf in Chiefs Clothing explores critical moments in the events surrounding Babudar’s arrest and offers a firsthand perspective on his subsequent journey.
Babudar recently pled guilty before U.S. District Judge Howard F. Sachs to charges related to a string of 11 robberies of financial institutions in seven different states. He awaits sentencing for his crimes and faces up to 50 years in federal prison. A bank teller in one of the robberies was also recently awarded $10.8 million in a civil suit.
The documentary will feature exclusive commentary and interviews with Babudar, which will certainly set it apart from the brief ESPN documentary that aired during the 2023 NFL season.
