Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders invited Gillie and Wallo to stop by in Boulder and give his players a pep talk ahead of the 2025 college football season. The duo hosts the podcast “Million Dollaz Worth of Game,” and are also known as Gillie Da King and Wallo267.
In a video published by Well Off Media founder Deion Sanders Jr. on July 30, it captures the podcast hosts taking a look at the Colorado facility, meeting Coach Prime and asking about his health and also motivating the Buffaloes players.
In one segment of the video, Wallo can be seen asking the players to stay out of controversies and put their whole focus on being better football players.
“If you want to be next level, be next level. But you’ve got to be professional,” Wallo said (10:00). “Some of y’all need to change the names on the back of your jersey. We’re not in the streets. We’re athletes. We’re professionals. So get those names off your jersey. All that? This ain’t that. This is a professional establishment. Y’all are professionals, so act like it. Be professional.”
Wallo also called out the glorified street life and rap personas many young athletes try to emulate. He said:
“I’m going to keep it raw with you: everything you see on social media, yeah, that [expletive] looks cool. But y’all are not rappers. Y’all are athletes. World-class athletes. Y’all are at the top of the chain, baby. Stop emulating the f**kers. Don’t worry, the cars, the jewelry, the ladies, they’ll come. But while you’re in this school, ‘no’ means ‘no.’”
Wallo explains cost of “one situation” to Deion Sanders’ Colorado squad
Taking his conversation further, Wallo, speaking from his own personal experience, explained that all it takes is “one situation” to derail anyone’s promising career. Therefore, he advised the Colorado boys to stay away from trouble and give all their energy on the football field.
“The power of one, it’s one situation,” Wallo said. “That’s all it takes. One situation and your life is f**ked up. You’re talking to somebody who spent 20 years in jail, from 17 to 37. Come on, now. You’re not talking to no f**king square. No L7.”
Wallo spent 20 years in prison beginning at age 17, after being convicted for armed robbery and other offenses in Pennsylvania. He was released in February 2017.
