It appears Deion Sanders’ son Shilo is dealing with some legal issues.
In May 2022, John Darjean was awarded $11.8 million from Shilo Sanders following an assault that left Darjean permanently disabled. The incident stemmed from Sanders allegedly violating school rules by using his cell phone on campus during school hours in September 2015.
Darjean attempted to confiscate the phone, but Sanders reacted violently, causing serious injuries that required Darjean to undergo spinal surgery and leaving him permanently disabled.
Despite the substantial judgment against him, Sanders is currently seeking protection from paying the settlement in bankruptcy court in Colorado. This is despite his continued involvement in multiple company sponsorships and his appearances in high-profile events such as walking in Paris Fashion Week for Louis Vuitton x Pharrell. Sanders has failed to make any payments towards the judgment in the two years since it was awarded.
Furthermore, Sanders and his team are actively attempting to suppress any documentation of the incident, including efforts to remove the documentary “Prime Time for the Truth” from Tubi and videos from the YouTube channel of the same name according to our source. These actions are seen as an attempt to bury the truth about the assault as Sanders continues to rise in his own career.

Meanwhile, our source tells us Darjean is left burdened with over a million dollars in medical bills and has relocated to the Dominican Republic in search of a more comfortable and affordable lifestyle. The documentary “Prime Time for the Truth” represents a ray of hope for Darjean to clear his name and alleviate his financial burdens.
If Sanders and his team succeed in having the documentary and related content removed, they will further handicap Darjean, denying him the opportunity to share his own truth and seek justice for the harm he has endured.
