Deion Sanders denies requiring Colorado players to attend Lil Wayne concert

Coach Prime called out a report for being “one of the best lies I’ve heard”

Colorado football head coach Deion Sanders has denied a recent report saying he required his players to attend an on-campus Lil Wayne concert in April.

Athlon Sports reported earlier this week that according to CU player sources, Sanders “threatened to dismiss anyone who skipped out.” The concert was held following the Buffs’ spring game on April 27 and featured Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders performing his debut rap single.

Athlon also reported that Coach Prime’s alleged request was the last straw for a few players who later entered the transfer portal.

On Friday, Coach Prime took to X (formerly Twitter) to deny the report.

“This is one of the best lies I’ve heard,” Deion Sanders wrote in a quote tweet. “God bless u and I pray u sleep well tonight because we are. Lawd JESUS.”
