Deion Sanders Shares Advice He Gave Travis Hunter Amid Criticism
Coach Prime pulled up to ‘The Tamron Hall Show’ recently and shared how he helped Travis Hunter handle all the online drama and backlash. Deion Sanders kept it real, saying it hurt him when Travis decided to bounce from Instagram, but he told him straight up, “Don’t stop!” He also added, “The enemy always wants you to stop.”
The NFL Hall of Famer explained that people target you when you stay still, but he added, “When you’re moving, it’s hard for them to get a clean shot at you.”
“When somebody stays still now you got a chance to attack the stillness of that. Keep on [moving]. Don’t let the enemy get you when you still and you having a pity party on yourself. He shared that he told him, “No dawg, let’s get up and let’s go!”
Sanders also mentioned that he told Travis Hunter he had endorsements and deals, so deactivating wasn’t a smart move. Instead, he should have “activated” himself during the hate and kept it moving.

Travis Hunter Addresses “Haters” Speaking On His Fiancée
As The Shade Room previously reported, Travis Hunter addressed the ongoing criticism of his fiancée Leanna Lenee during a December livestream. The Colorado Buffaloes player shared that he was tired of people online talking about their relationship.
“They want me to be unhappy. They don’t want me to be in a relationship. I’m not going to lie, the comments and the people… and the hatred that I’m getting, it’s [draining]. It’s draining, for sure. I’m definitely not going to be myself for a minute,” Travis said during the stream.
At the time, Travis explained that they were just a hot topic, and people were always finding something new to complain about, but he had no plans to break up with her.
“We are just a topic right now. Why would I break up with my girl because the internet want me to breakup with my girl. Nobody knows me or her personally. Bro, just leave us alone, bro. I’ve been with my girl five years, all of a sudden this year y’all want to say something.”
