"You ain't no joke": Deion Sanders lights up daughter Shelomi's college locker room with special shoutout to Alabama A&M star

Deion Sanders finished his second season with the Colorado Buffaloes with a 9-4 record. The Buffaloes participated in their first bowl game since 2020, but fell against the BYU Cougars in the Alamo Bowl.

After the end of the 2024 campaign, Deion Sanders decided to surprise his daughter Shelomi, who plays basketball for Alabama A&M. Shelomi played for the Colorado Buffaloes for one season before transferring to the Bulldogs.

Sanders attended Alabama A&M's 54-47 home victory against rivals Alabama State and later met the team in the locker room.

Coach Prime gave a special shoutout to Alisha Wilson, who had five points, four rebounds and one assist.

"You ain't no joke," Coach Prime said while pointing to Alisha Wilson. "You a dawg. I'm in love with you!"

Coach Prime also took to Instagram to share a few moments of his surprise visit to Shelomi's game. The post included snippets of a few wholesome moments between the father-daughter duo. Sanders accompanied it with a heart-warming message for Shelomi.

"Surprised my Babygirl @shelomisanders yesterday at Alabama A&M. It was epic and they won. The HBCU atmosphere was all that. Dr. Bryant Thank u helping me make yesterday happen for my baby! Love all y'all that showed me love. God bless."

Deion Sanders was initially not happy with Shelomi's decision to transfer from Colorado

Shelomi entered the portal as a redshirt junior after spending the 2023-24 season with the Buffs. When she initially decided to join Alabama A&M, Deion Sanders was not thrilled with the idea and publicly spoke against it on the "DNVR Buffs" podcast.

"It was stupid," Coach Prime said in April. "You don't enter the portal. You get a team before you enter the portal... You know, that's what I would advise a child. And I know, well, it's illegal. C'mon man, everybody knows somebody that knows somebody that knows somebody."

However, in September while speaking with NBC Sports, Shelomi said that she and Coach Prime put their past behind them and finally see eye to eye when it comes to her collegiate career.

"You know, he's my dad and he's also a coach," Shelomi said. "So I think that's why he kind of just had a reaction like that. But we handled and discussed things behind close door so it's all good now."
