What Daddy Sanders Told His Daughter About Letting Go
The day before, Deion was trending after dropping three tweets on X—two directed at Deiondra Sanders. His first tweet posted on June 11 quoted Deiondra and only said “Lawd Lawd Lawd,” a response that quickly went viral. Sanders was responding to Deiondra writing, “I can’t wait till my son grow up and see the truth for himself.”
Following that came his inspirational scripture-based message. He wrote of continuing to push forward, blessing others and remaining positive. A few hours later, he quoted another one of Deiondra’s tweet. That second time, she penned a message about feeling “hurt disappointed” and needing time. It was one in a series of tweets responding to Jacquees’ recent comments about moving too quickly with her before closing his chapter with Dreezy. In that second piece of advice, Daddy Sanders wrote, “Give it to GOD and let’s go! Got Got u! #NoMo.”

He said on the morning show that he’s “got [his] health” and “swagger” back. “I’m fully back now. Last year at this time, it wasn’t a good look,” Sanders said. Sanders is now “cancer-free” and credited “great doctors in Colorado” and God, whom together, he said, “brought [him] through.” He added, “I’m thankful ‘m healthy.”
