Deion Sanders and his family were reduced to mere spectators as the 2025 NFL Draft witnessed one of its most controversial moments back in April. Ex-Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders unexpectedly slid from Round 1 to Round 5 with the overall 144th pick.
Understandably, the moment was tough for the Sanders family. However, the more hurtful was the hatred that surrounded the Sanders clan even before the draft. While it has been over a month, Deion Sanders Jr., the eldest of the Sanders brothers, reignited the controversy by releasing a new rap song and finally addressing the criticism faced during the draft.

His new track, “5 for 5,” which was released earlier this week on his YouTube channel and several other streaming platforms, features Shedeur Sanders and mocks the doubters.

However, not everyone was impressed. Some criticized the lyrics and delivery, sharing mixed reactions such as: “Too many curse words. 🙉 This is not of God.”
While some felt the song was average, they noted, “Well, that’s garbage,” “This is so cringe bro,” and “At least it’s not autotuned. I give him credit for that.”

Yet, you can’t satisfy everyone, especially when the song’s subject is already controversial. While “Bucky” isn’t a full-time artist yet, he uses his YouTube channel to make his way as an artist and bring behind-the-scenes coverage of the Buffaloes to the fans.
