Is Kadarius Toney hanging up his cleats for a microphone? The internet is ablaze with speculation that the NFL wide receiver is ditching football to pursue a full-time career as a rapper, and Toney himself seems to be adding fuel to the fire.
Rumors began swirling on Thursday evening, igniting a frenzy across social media platforms. The spark? A supposed Instagram Live session where Toney allegedly announced his retirement from the NFL, declaring his intention to be recognized primarily as a rapper, known by his moniker "Yung Joka." This claim, amplified by a prominent NFL aggregator on X (formerly Twitter), sent shockwaves through the football community. However, the veracity of this announcement remains shrouded in ambiguity, with Toney seemingly both acknowledging and disputing the claims in subsequent online activity.
