Growing up in the Sanders household means cameras are always rolling and competition never takes a day off. From Coach Prime’spress conferences to Shilo’s monthly sibling rankings, it’s a nonstop reality show of personalities and headlines. But this week, it wasn’t Deion, Shedeur, or Shilo making waves-it was Shelomi.
The Alabama A&M basketball guard, affectionately nicknamed “Bossy,” surprised her nearly half-a-million followers with a deeply personal Instagram post. In the video, she casually walked viewers through what she called a “double site change,” demonstrating how she manages her Type 1 diabetes by swapping both her Dexcom glucose monitor and Omnipod insulin pump.
Her calm, confident tone made the video feel less like a medical tutorial and more like FaceTiming a friend. “I am dramatic. It didn’t really hurt,” she said with a grin, holding up her phone to show her real-time glucose levels. With that, she clicked her Omnipod into place, adding, “Which gives my insulin.” Simple, real, and quietly powerful.
In a Week of Sanders Siblings Headlines, Shelomi’s Was the One That Stuck
Alongside the device demo, she gave a shoutout to Skin Grip, the product that keeps her CGM sensors secure during practice and games. “They go over your palm and keep everything in place,” she explained, proving that athletes don’t just think about game strategy-they think about sweatproof tech, too.
The response was immediate. Diabetes advocacy pages like Beyond Type 1 and JDRF reshared the post, praising Shelomi for showing what daily life really looks like with a chronic condition. “This is the kind of visibility we need,” one comment read.
Meanwhile, older brother Shedeur had his own viral moment-though it was a little more… complicated. A clip surfaced showing him driving a custom olive green Rolls-Royce Phantom, and the internet was quick to connect the dots: $4.6 million rookie contract + flashy car = self-gifted reward.
NFL analyst Dov Kleiman tweeted, “Inspirational: Browns star rookie QB Shedeur Sanders bought himself a custom Rolls-Royce worth over $500K.” The problem? It wasn’t his car.
Deion Sanders Jr. set the record straight on Well Off Media, his YouTube channel: “Who said that was Shedeur’s? Y’all just made your own story and ran with it.” Turns out, Deion Jr. was the one test-driving the Phantom-and still deciding between that or a Bentley Mulsanne.
In the span of days, both Sanders siblings made headlines. One for a health video that’s already inspiring young athletes with chronic illness. The other, for a luxury car that wasn’t even his.
But if there’s anything clear this week, it’s that while the world watches what the Sanders family has, Shelomi just showed the world who she is.
