Shilo Sanders continues to grind through the uncertainty of NFL free agency. As painful as that may be, Shilo’s father has possibly hurt him more by deciding to remind the world, loudly and unapologetically, that Prime Time has never left the spotlight.

Deion Sanders slipped back into his rapper persona, delivering a barrage of impromptu, brutal bars at Shilo that might’ve been more hurtful than actual trash talk.
“You known for me,” Deion snaps in the clip. “Ever since the university team, I’m the one who made you famous. You like an old Black Amos.” The lines keep coming, sharper by the second.”
There was more… “Tryna front, Get your daddy, he tryna stunt. You will never be me, Never be who you’re supposed to be,” he continued, before doubling down with the kind of self-aggrandizing confidence only Deion Sanders can sell.
“I’m the man. Still going. I get so cold like it’s snowing… But I’m hot. You the Prime Time? I think not!”
Back in 2024, Deion Sanders had shown off his musical talents by dropping a remix of his 1994 track Must Be The Money. That version was recorded properly in the studio and laid over Yella Beezy’s Must Be The Money Part 2, blending nostalgia with modern production tech.
Dressed in overalls and a hat, Deion had danced, hyped himself up, and leaned fully into the Prime Time persona that once made him a two-sport icon. “Got to be the money, people talking about me and hating me every chance they get,” Sanders raps in that track. “Never appreciated and underrated, but the best yet. The lights don’t blind me because I’m used to the fame. I’m Prime, been Prime, I am before my time. I’ve been a seven-figure hitter way back since ’89.”
Unlike his latest Shilo freestyle, that verse tied directly into his coaching résumé. Deion had referenced his dominant run at Jackson State before detailing the move that reshaped his public image: Bringing his family and program blueprint to Colorado.
Shilo’s NFL career, meanwhile, never quite began. He joined the Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent but failed to make the final roster. His release came shortly after a turbulent preseason appearance against the Buffalo Bills, in which he was ejected for throwing a punch at tight end Zach Davidson.
Addressing the situation at the time, Shilo said he had been fully focused on football and confirmed that he had officially been waived by Tampa Bay. Leaning on his faith, Shilo framed the setback as part of a bigger journey.
“If that’s in the NFL, cool,” Shilo had said. “But God’s blessed me with a lot of talents to do other things other than play football.”
Shilo insisted that the experience would help him grow, regardless of whether another NFL opportunity materializes or not.
