Deion Sanders has always been a father first and Coach Prime later. There’s an utmost advantage when your father has a long-standing partnership with Nike. Prime provides innumerable gifts to his children: Shedeur, Shilo, and Shelomi, who are making waves in the NFL and basketball. Plus, he’s equally dedicated to supporting his daughter, Deiondra, and her little child, Snow. Deiondra has been a proud mom balancing life and motherhood. That’s why Coach Prime ensures she’s financially stable and well cared for.
And it’s also because Deiondra is a single mother taking care of Snow, after a traumatic separation from ex-fiance Jacquees earlier this year. But Deiondra has been really vocal on social media about her journey of motherhood, spreading awareness about pregnancy and how to deal with childbirth. Plus, there’s no doubt how much she loves showing off her kid on social media. Recently, she shared a series of pictures of her and Snow spending time, whether it’s at the beach or at home. But the caption is what raised Coach Prime’s eyebrows. “Imma give my son the whole world,” she wrote.
The caption sounded quite sit, reflecting the mother-son bond, until you open the comment section. The first comment, Coach Prime himself writes, “Good, so I can save my Money. Thank u, baby, you’re a blessing.” That hilarious and sarcastic write-up turned quite a few heads. But when you have a father and grandfather like Deion Sanders, no amount of money is ever enough. You know why? Because baby Snow was born right on his Papa Prime’s birthday. Yes, Deion and his first grandchild share the same birthdate now, and Prime’s reaction? Absolutely gold.

“That’s how good God is,” Sanders said. “Like God chose me on my birthday, for my daughter, for my kids to have their first child, the first time I’m a grandfather, on my birthday. Do you understand how beautiful that is? How much of a blessing that is?” So, do you think Prime would ever stop pampering his daughter, who gave him such a beautiful grandchild? Absolutely not. Remember when Deion pulled off a heartwarming grand gesture for his grandson Snow? After wrapping up spring football practice, Deion took his family out to his massive 5,000-acre ranch in Texas to soak in the outdoors. But the highlight? Deion is setting up a custom play area just for baby Snow, dubbed “Snow’s Playground.”

And Deiondra, like a good daughter, gave honest feedback on the play area on Snow’s behalf. “Safe to say Snow loves his playground. Thanks, Papa,” she writes. But do you know something? Deion wasn’t shy about joking that this custom playground came courtesy of cutting into his son Shilo’s “trust fund.” When Snow was born, Sanders said, “Lord, thank you for my DAUGHTER @deiondrasanders for blessing me with my grandson SNOW. God, you are incredible.”
All of this makes an incredibly strong case that no matter what happens, Deion Sanders would never hesitate to spill out his networth for his kids and now….for his first grandchild.

Snow Sanders: the little warrior
Deiondra Sanders’ journey with her baby boy is one of ups and downs. It recently came to light that Snow faced a life-and-death fight right after birth. When Snow was born, doctors immediately whisked the little guy away to the NICU as he battled prematurity complications.
You can imagine the emotional toll that it took on the family. Deiondra shared her journey on Instagram as always. She called Snow her “little warrior,” with every photo of him peacefully resting on her chest. Her story resonated widely, joining voices like Cori Broadus, Snoop Dogg’s daughter, who also raised awareness about the fears and miracles experienced by NICU families.
But this fight was nothing new for Deiondra. Throughout her pregnancy, she faced a lot of medical hurdles. Starting from fibroids threatening her health, to multiple miscarriages, a shortened cervix, and placenta accreta, which nearly forced doctors to remove her uterus. But she fought through it all, which is reflected in one of her heartfelt posts with the caption, “WE MADE IT YALL.”
