When Shilo Sanders impersonated his dad a few months ago, he had little idea that he would be portraying his father in the season finale of Black Mafia Family. Produced by 50 Cent, BMF is ready for “Prime Time” as Shilo Sanders will make an appearance to play the role of his dad in the popular crime drama on the Starz network. Thrilled by his latest adventure, his sister Deiondra Sanders is offering her full support.

In the 10th episode of this season, the BMF and football fans would be on the edge of their seats to see what part Prime (Shilo Sanders) has to play in the mafia moguls’ journey. Gauging from the first looks of it, however, they are in for an absolute thrill ride. Penned by Tariq Simmons and Heather Zulkhe, the episode titled ‘Prime Time’ is all set to end the mystery from the previous episode on May 10, something that the Sanders family has already started building the hype around.

Donning the classic Deion Sanders shade and stack of gold chains, Deiondra is proud of her younger brother! Staying true to the Sanders tradition of cheering their heart out for any new venture that any of their family members starts, Deiondra Sanders took to her Instagram Stories to put on her best cheerleader cap with a loud and proud, “Go Shilo Go”.

Not only Deiondra, but Coach Prime himself couldn’t hide his pride at his seeing his son’s acting debut.

On his Instagram Deion posted the image of Shilo in his new avatar with the caption, “@bmfstarz @davinchi Season 3 Episode 10 guess who’s playing a Young PRIME! 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.”

Well, it seems Shilo Sanders doing impressions of his dad has finally paid off for him. A few years ago, during his time playing under him at Jackson State, Shilo did an impression of one of his father’s speeches. “Dawg, y’all gotta do better dog. You ain’t done nothing today at practice. Come on. You ain’t gave us nothing. We gonna cut you,” Shilo said in a hilarious video. Then last year Deion Sanders Jr. shared a video on Instagram where Shilo was once again mimicking Coach Prime to the best of his abilities.

For fans of BMF it will be interesting to see what role Sanders will have the Meech and Terry’s journey. For Shilo this represents another step in his growth beyond football with his NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) valuation standing at $1.1 million. Earlier this year, Shilo along with his brother Shedeur Sanders jetted to Paris to walk down the runway as fashion models in the Louis Vuitton Men’s Fall/Winter 2024 Show.
