A gripping new Prime Video documentary about jailed Kansas City Chiefs superfan Xaviar Babudar is set to unpack his secret life as a serial bank robber.
Set for release on the platform on December 24, ChiefsAholic: A Wolf in Chiefs Clothing follows the harrowing story of the criminal, famously known as ChiefsAholic, and how stole $800,000 in 11 robberies across seven states.
‘Recognized for his distinctive wolf costume and boisterous social media antics, Babudar rose to fame as one of Kansas City’s most fervent fans,’ the official synopsis reads.
‘However, a secret life came to light in December 2022 when he was arrested in Bixby, Oklahoma, unraveling a series of unsolved bank robberies committed across the Midwest.
‘Through interviews granted by Babudar himself, ChiefsAholic: A Wolf in Chiefs Clothing explores critical moments in the events surrounding Babudar’s initial arrest and offers a firsthand perspective on his subsequent journey.’
The first look trailer was released last week, and despite being just 15-seconds in length, it teases drama at every turn.

‘Don’t think it hasn’t crossed my mind that I might come off and go to the Super Bowl,’ Babudar is heard saying in his own words.
A newsreader then says: ‘This man is now on the run.’
‘It seems fake and like a movie, but it’s real,’ one contributor decked out in a Kansas City Chiefs cap and black sunglasses exclaims.
Fans are eagerly awaiting the release of the documentary, which will be available to stream worldwide.
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, one said: ‘ChiefsAholic documentary is an automatic watch for me and I probably have five or less of those a year.’
Echoing a similar sentiment, another said: ‘I’m absolutely going to watch the ChiefsAholic documentary.’
A third continued: ‘ChiefsAholic documentary coming out on Christmas, I’m screeeeeaming.’
Babudar was sentenced to 17-and-a-half years in prison without parole and three years of supervised release in connection to a number of bank robberies throughout the Midwestern United States in September.

He pled guilty to charges of money laundering, transporting stolen property across state lines, and bank robbery in February this year.
Babudar had faced up to 50 years in prison for what US Attorney Teresa Moore called a ‘violent crime spree across the Midwest.’
‘The defendant tried to conceal hundreds of thousands of dollars in stolen cash by using it to gamble online and at casinos, but the odds caught up with him,’ Moore said in a release in February.
‘With today’s conviction, he will be held accountable for the full scope of his criminal conduct, including his attempt to flee from justice.’
As a part of his plea agreement, Babudar will have to pay over $530,000 in restitution to the victims’ financial institution.
Adding insult to injury, he will also have to forfeit an autographed painting of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
