Super Bowl 2022 - Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow gifts Kid Cudi with game-worn jersey

CINCINNATI — After helping win the AFC Championship Game last Sunday, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow got a request from one of his childhood idols.

Kid Cudi, a rapper Burrow grew up admiring, congratulated Burrow on taking the Bengals to Super Bowl LVI and asked him for the game jersey from Cincinnati's overtime victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.

It didn't sound like Burrow had to give it much thought. On Friday, Cudi tweeted about the exchange and sent out a picture of Burrow's grass-stained No. 9.

«He said yes and sent it right away,» Cudi said on Twitter.

Burrow had a simple but poignant message for the rapper, who rose to fame at the end of the 2000s: «Ohio Love.» Burrow grew up in southeast Ohio, while Cudi hails from Cleveland.
