Deion Sanders shares a heartwarming relationship with his kids. They don’t shy away from supporting each other as well as pulling each other’s legs sometimes.
While Shedeur and Shilo take turns to take playful digs at Coach Prime by imitating him, his youngest daughter Shelomi Sanders doesn’t hold back from taking a dig at her father’s medical conditions, like his amputated toe.
Deion Sanders Jr. recorded his dad and Shelomi’s workouts in the latest Well Off media vlog. The vlog started with the father-daughter duo being seen preparing to get into a bucket of ice at his house in Texas.
Before getting in, Deion reminds his kids that there are still things he is going through and hasn’t fully recovered from, followed by a “I ain’t scared” affirmation (1:05 onwards in the video).
After struggling to stay in the bucket for what Shelomi thought was 30 seconds, Deion jumped out and said he needed toe covers, to which she hilariously replied, saying, “You cover what toes?”
Then Coach Prime said, “I started to say something about you, and it’s something that rhymes with drama,” drawing a massive laugh from Shelomi. She then followed, saying, “You Can Get Half Off on Toe Cover,’ taking a jab at the fact that he does not have 10 toes.
After a few seconds of contemplation, Deion got into the bucket again and was suggested to sing a song to distract himself and last longer, which didn’t work as well.
Deion Sanders’ Daughter Shelomi Sanders Opens Up About Diabetes Battle
Shelomi Sanders is Deion’s only daughter that is into sports like her dad and brothers. After playing at Colorado for a year, she transferred to Alabama A&M for her second year of her collegiate journey.
Shelomi was diagnosed with diabetes at a young age and she still wears a glucose monitor patch on her body to keep her sugar in checks, even when she plays basketball.
The 21-year-old makes sure to use her platform to spread awareness about her condition in order to help others that suffer from it.
“Basketball has always been my passion,” Shelomi said. “But when I was 13, I faced an unexpected problem. Something just didn’t add up. It didn’t feel right. I started feeling really thirsty, dropping a lot of weight and just being tired all the time,” Shelomi told in her latest Instagram post.
“Short story, I ended up in the hospital… And that is the day I found out I had type 1 diabetes. I’m not gonna lie. At first, I hated it. I was ashamed and embarrassed. I didn’t want anyone to see my devices. But now, I see differently. I learned that diabetes does not define me. It’s just a part of my story,” she added.
