Coach Prime’s Ex-Wife Pilar Sanders Enjoys Brutal Shade at Him That Comes With an Ode to Her Parenting of Shedeur

While Shedeur Sanders is making headlines with his NFL draft prospects, his older brother Shilo Sanders is carving out his own path—not on the gridiron, but in the music world. The Sanders fam is known for football, sure, but music is in their blood too. Back in the ’90s, Deion Sanders himself dabbled in rap, dropping tracks like “Prime Time” and the catchy hit “Must Be The Money.” But while Deion plays with nostalgia, his sons are creating their own musical narratives. Shedeur has already dipped his toes into music, releasing “Perfect Timing” to mixed reviews. Deion Sanders Jr. also throws his hat into the ring occasionally, dropping albums and singles like “Kandy” and “Swim or Drown.” Rumor has it that Shilo and Shedeur even helped compose some of Deion Jr.’s tracks.

But now it’s Shilo’s turn to take the spotlight. His debut album, Hate 2 Love dropped last month, and it’s bold, raw, and impossible to ignore. The album cover itself is pure symbolism—Shilo striding through open grassland, with snow-capped mountains behind him, mirroring his journey of contrast and growth. And who’s beaming with pride? None other than his mother, Pilar Sanders.

Pilar Sanders is showing everyone what a supportive mom looks like—and throwing some subtle dig at Deion Sanders in the process. Her sons’ successes are a testament to her dedication, and she’s not afraid to let everyone know it. The second Shilo announced his album on social media, Pilar was all in, hyping her son. And one song, “Great,” caught her attention—especially with the lyric, “Shedeur is great.” Pilar couldn’t resist chiming in, captioning her post with, “Think about me…♥️.” It felt like a subtle nod to her role in raising such talented kids.

Fans took notice, and one comment stood out: “You’re a great mother and Mr. Sanders fumbled!!! #36 shows a lot about Mr. 21 smh!!!!” Pilar even liked the comment, throwing a bit of shade in Deion’s way. Despite their rocky history—they divorced in 2013—Pilar hasn’t shied away from supporting her kids when it matters.

When Coach Prime and his sons made their debut with the Colorado Buffaloes against TCU, Pilar was there, cheering alongside their daughter. She posted snapshots from the stands, showing the world that despite their past, she was still in the stands supporting both Deion and Shedeur.

But her commitment to her kids? That’s where Pilar really shines.

Pilar Sanders is all about the kids!

Pilar has always been there for her children, balancing support for both Shedeur and Shilo equally. One standout moment came in 2022 during Shedeur’s game at Jackson State. Pilar showed up wearing Shedeur’s #2 jersey but then revealed another layer—a #21 jersey for Shilo. It was the ultimate mom move, showing love for both sons on and off the field. When Shedeur was named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week, there was no hiding her excitement. She posted on Instagram, calling him a “LEGENDARY” guy, celebrating Colorado’s win over Texas Tech, and proudly tagging hashtags like #shedeur4heisman.

And when Shilo faced a tough moment—breaking his arm during a game against the Huskers—Pilar was right there, supporting him through surgery and recovery. Her dedication didn’t stop there. When Hate 2 Love finally dropped, Pilar was the first in line to show love. She shared a screenshot of the album on Instagram, captioning it with, “FINALLY!!!!!! I’M SO PROUD OF YOU SON! THIS IS 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 written produced engineered performed by: @shilosanders #shilosanders #shilosandershatetolove ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 #proudmom.”

Through every milestone—whether on the football field or in the recording studio—Pilar has been there, cheering her kids on and showing what unwavering support looks like. Well, even when Shelomi Sanders made the switch from the Buffs basketball team to Alabama A&M, Pilar was right there by her side, cheering her on through that big change.

While Deion Sanders continues to balance his coaching career and his musical throwbacks, his kids are stepping into their own spotlights. Shedeur and Shilo are on the brink of NFL stardom. And through it all, Pilar remains the glue that holds the fam together, celebrating each win, standing strong through every setback, and proving that a mother’s love is forever.
