Deion Sanders is letting daughter Shelomi know she’s not his favorite child amid rumors of a strained relationship

Deion Sanders can have put to rest rumors that he and his youngest daughter, Shelomi Sanders, are not on speaking terms following her departure from the University of Colorado Boulder.

The sophomore transferred from the college to Alabama A&M in April after one season on the Buffaloes women’s basketball team. Her father stays in Boulder as the pinnacle football coach, where he continues to administer the on-field playing careers of sons Shedeur and Shilo Sanders.

Even though Shelomi has been off campus in Colorado, she continues to satisfy her responsibilities as the child of the family and competes for the highest spot in Deion’s ever-changing rating of favorite children. He shares three children with his second wife, Pilar Sanders.

Over the years, the previous Atlanta Falcons star has shared this list, proving that each one five of his children – including his oldest, Deion Sanders Jr. and Deiondra Sanders, whom he shares with ex-wife Carolyn Chambers, could grow to be his favorites on any given day.

However, on September 23, his daughter declared herself the most effective Sanders. To the surprise of Coach Prime’s Instagram followers, this also marked her return on social media.

He posted a carousel of photos, two of which showed the shirt Shelomi was wearing while rating herself as her father’s best offspring, and others showed her at a Southwestern Athletic Conference media day in her maroon and white highschool uniform.

“@shelomisanders thinks he’s #1 in my kids’ rankings. I really like you baby but you’re NOT #1 straight away, your sister @deiondrasanders is like that because she just had Lil Baby but I really like this shirt. I’m proud of you and blissful that you may have the possibility to do something this season.

Deion became a grandfather for the primary time on his 57th birthday on August 9, when Deiondra welcomed her first child, a son, along with her boyfriend, singer Jacquees.

While several comments stated that Shelomi’s mood was outdone by the newborn, other eagle-eyed fans commented that their alleged father-daughter rift was finally over.

“I love seeing you supporting each other in public again,” one person wrote. A second person said: “I’m so glad @shelomisanders is back on the Unco channel!” When the basketball player entered the transfer portal against Deion’s will, he publicly criticized her decision.

“You don’t go into a portal – you get a team. You kind of get the team before you enter the portal. “You shouldn’t do that – that’s what I would advise the child to do… she was really advised,” he told the media. He then insisted that he was a “real father” who told his children where to go, not the opposite way around.

He continued partially: “I’m the leader of the family. So I dictate where my children go. They don’t tell me where to go. I’m blissful, all the pieces’s nice, I feel healthy in Boulder.”

His ex, Pilar, was offended by the shortage of support shown to their daughter and vented her frustration in a video posted on YouTube.

She condemned him for his “disturbing” comments, accused him of sabotaging Shelomi’s pre-college admissions opportunities, and slammed him for having favorite children who earn his support by allowing him to run their lives. Deion has never publicly addressed her comments.

But at the least one of his supporters felt the identical way as Pilar about his rating system. “Now Prime…I don’t feel that caption on Shelomi’s photo…even if it’s a joke…I DON’T feel it, bro!” comment read. When his ex-wife shared a collage of their daughter from SWAC media day on September 23, people couldn’t help but notice that Shelomi gave the impression to be radiating happiness.

One user commented“Mommy instincts. It was the most effective decision for her. She looks very blissful now.

While a second person joked: “That feeling when you say THROUGH daddy, I’m not your little girl anymore… Deion, you see that SMILE. A mother always understands from the beginning.”

Deion’s well-received post comes weeks after he appeared to defend his fame as a current father. According to football legend, he is one of the few black male public figures filling this void within the media.
