Deiondra Sanders is under “house arrest!” The 32-year-old, who is pregnant, is enjoying some “me-time” as she binge-watches a 100-episode dystopian series. However, there is a reason behind Deiondra being so loyal to the series — wondering what? The series features her half-brother, Shilo Sanders. Even more interesting is that Shilo plays the role of young Coach Prime in the season finale of the Black Mafia Family

Since Deiondra’s pregnancy has been a complicated one from the beginning, she is now exposed to a more relaxed lifestyle. To pass the time, she resorted to watching BMF, which is produced by 50 Cent. The American crime drama series on the STARZ network soon hooked the mommy-to-be as she posted, “Been binge watching The 100 on Netflix this h*e so good.”

Though the series has 100 episodes, Deiondra’s favorite is the 10th episode of the latest season. Of course, it should be, since Shilo got lucky with his latest breakthrough outside the gridiron. Finally, his imitation of Deion Sanders was on point, as he portrayed his father when he was young. The episode that casts the Colorado Buffaloes’ safety shares the other name of what Deion Sanders is popularly known as Prime Time. This was enough for the biggest supporter within the Sanders family, Deiondra, to take up the charge.

As it emerged that Shilo would enter every drawing room through his new venture, the proud sister could not contain her excitement. Deiondra then gave a shoutout to her half-brother, donning the best cheerleader role as she wrote, “Go Shilo Go.” Earlier, the proud sister rooted for Shedeur as the quarterback dropped his first song, Perfect Timing. It was the right time for Shilo to reflect the attention toward him.   

Shilo’s imitation talents come into play

Other than Deiondra, if there is another greatest contributor to Shilo’s latest success, it is Deion Sanders. Being a tough nut to crack, the Buffs’ safety won the assignment by making Coach Prime proud. The Buffs head coach was the first to disclose the surprise to the fans on Instagram. He wrote, “@bmfstarz Season 3 Episode 10 guess who’s playing a Young PRIME!” He continued cheering, “I’m so proud of @shilosanders he did the Doggone THANG! Good Lawd the SANDERS boys are exercising all the gifts that GOD gave them and having fun living this life that we only get 1 shot at. Live kids Live. #Dad #Bob”.

But the BMF makers just did not hand Shio the role on a whim. They seem to have been tracking the Buffs’ safety for quite a long time. Among the Sanders siblings, Shilo impersonates Coach Prime to a tee! On multiple occasions, the safety has ticked all the checkboxes mimicking his father, but the one that went viral saw Shilo mastering Coach Prime’s signature style where he says, “Dawg! You is a lyricist baby?…What’s the point of lashes, baby?” in the Deion Sanders way.    

Shilo was aware that he would make Deion Sanders proud of his acting skills. But little did he expect his series would make sister Deiondra’s pregnancy journey less of a hassle and entertain her while she is bound to bed. All eyes on Shilo!
