Deion Sanders once humiliated his son on Twitter over 'hood doughnuts' comments - "Stop the hood stuff"
Deion Sanders played 15 seasons in the NFL and entertained football fans throughout his career. The iconic cornerback also doesn't miss an opportunity to roast his kids.
In April 2015, Sanders called out his eldest son Deion Sanders Jr. on Twitter for saying he only eats “hood doughnuts.” At the time, Sanders Jr. was a sophomore wide receiver at SMU. He tweeted:
"Gotta get the hood doughnuts almost every morning. If my doughnuts don't come in a plain white box, I don't want them!"
Gotta get the hood doughnuts almost every morning. If my doughnuts don't come in a plain white box, I don't want them!
The NFL legend was then quick to remind his son he has a trust fund, a condo, and his own clothing line called “Well Off.”
"You're a Huxtable with a million $ trust fund stop the hood stuff! Lololol. Son."
@DeionSandersJr you're a Huxtable with a million $ trust fund stop the hood stuff! Lololol. Son. #Truth
The hilarious exchange between father and son left fans in splits. However, Sanders Jr. insisted that he still loved the hood's doughnuts.
Sanders Sr. has five children, two with his first wife, Carolyn Chambers: a daughter, Deiondra, and a son, Deion Jr. He also had three children with his second wife, Pilar Biggers-Sanders: sons Shilo and Shedeur, and a daughter named Shelomi.
