Prime Video recently announced that a true-crime documentary about Xaviar Babudar aka ChiefsAholic, a Kansas City Chiefs superfan and serial bank robber, is going to be available to stream soon, KCTV reported.
The documentary, ChiefsAholic: A Wolf in Chiefs Clothing, will follow Babudar's story as a high-profile Chiefs fan who never missed a single game, and then end up as the man police claim is responsible for bank robberies.

A Prime Video press release stated on Tuesday, “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.”
Rapper Drake serves as an executive producer for the documentary under his DreamCrew Entertainment.
In February, Babudar pled guilty to a single count of money laundering and one count of transporting stolen goods across state lines. Authorities said these charges were linked to 11 bank robberies committed in seven states. Court documents also state that he was able to launder most of the stolen money through casinos and online gambling.
This isn't the first time Babudar's story has been told through video. ESPN+ hosted the documentary, Where Wolf: The Search for ChiefsAholic, which included the initial comments from the superfan and alleged serial bank robber.
Babudar submitted his comments through his lawyer Matthew Merryman which stated, “First of all, I'm just another person in the crowd just trying to make and find my way. I would describe myself as being loyal, loving and dedicated. Especially to my family, faith and sports.”
When ChiefsAholic is sentenced, he will face up to 50 years in prison. He has also been required to pay a restitution of $532,000. He also has to forfeit Patrick Mahomes' autographed painting.
Babudar was arrested on Dec. 16, 2022, after he robbed a credit union near Tulsa, Okla., a few days before the Chiefs played the Texans in Houston.

Court documents showed that he escaped after he cut his ankle monitor while he was waiting for his trial in Oklahoma. These documents also showed that after a casino paid him $100,000 for winning the Super Bowl LVI bets he made on the Chiefs for 2022 season. He bet that the Chiefs would win the game and for Mahomes to receive the MVP trophy.
Babudar then went on the run for months before he was arrested in July 2023 in Sacramento, Calif. After his arrest in California, federal court documents were released which accused him of robbing financial institutions all throughout 2022 so he could fund his ChiefsAholic lifetsyle attending Chiefs games as well as other exclusive events.
With Prime Video hosting a documentary, my question is whether Babudar is allowed to receive enough compensation for sharing his life story. I say enough because anything he earns will go to his creditors first.
If there's anything left over, I hope it goes to Payton Garcia, the bank teller Badubar threatened with a gun in December 2022. ESPN said she won a $10.8 million judgment; $3.6 million for the physical harm she experienced and $7.2 million in punitive damages.
