Have an interesting take?
The cherry on top of Deion Sanders’ birthday is his revelation of the birth of Baby Que on August 9. During his speech addressing the media on his big day, he stated, “That’s how good God is, like God would choose 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?”
As of now, there are no comments from Deiondra or Jacquees. But this could be by far the best birthday gift from a daughter to a father. Coach Prime now not only has a grandson to love and hold, but he found his birthday twin with whom he’ll be celebrating life each year.
