Roommates, y’all remember when Travis Hunter dipped off Instagram in December after folks kept coming for his relationship with his fiance Leanna Lenee. Well, Deion Sanders has opened up about the advice he gave Travis after he decided to go ghost.
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.
Social media users filled The Shade Room’s comment section with reactions to Deion Sanders’ advice to Travis Hunter. Many praised him for supporting Travis, while others firmly believed Travis should let his fiance go.
Instagram user @necadadon wrote, “Glad he did he needed advice from a grown mans perspective.”
Instagram user @jojo_simmons wrote, “Deion is really the best man for the job he has. ”
While Instagram user @suavfit wrote, “Your woman is a representation of you. He gotta let her go.”
Then Instagram user @its_me_lanamarie wrote, “I actually feel bad for Travis I hope people start leaving him alone.”
Another Instagram user @vnnychse wrote, “The real enemy is sleeping next to him every night ”
Instagram user @therealogjujubae wrote, “Whew he said a mouth full”
While another Instagram user @_kingcid wrote, “That is not a coach that is a father ”
Lastly, Instagram user @karmella17_17 wrote, “Coach Prime is rightGreat advice! Keep it moving on everybody that has an opinion & GET MONEY ”
As The Shade Room previously reported, Travis Hunter addressed the ongoing criticism of his fiance 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 dont want me to be in a relationship. Im not going to lie, the comments and the people and the hatred that Im getting, its [draining]. Its draining, for sure. Im 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. Ive been with my girl five years, all of a sudden this year yall want to say something.”
