- NCAA. Deion Sanders was left freaked out after magician pulls off supernatural trick
Deion Sanders Jr., once known for catching es at Southern Methodist University, is now trying to catch attention in the music world. While his younger brothers, Shedeur and Shilo, have made waves on the football field under the guidance of their Hall of Fame father, Deion Jr. has taken a different route, pursuing a career in rap.
In March 2024, Sanders Jr. released a track titled Dolly, which has since garnered modest attention online, collecting just over 13,000 views. But in a surprising turn of events, the song has now become the center of an accusation circulating on social media.
Rapper calls out Sanders Jr. for copying his work
An emerging artist known as DatBoy has taken to X (formerly Twitter) to publicly accuse Sanders Jr. of stealing his music. In a tweet that's gaining traction, the rapper claims that Dolly mirrors the exact beat and melody of a song he released months earlier.
"Deion Sanders' son stole my sound as well," wrote @THEONLYDATBOY. "I tagged the whole family, and a few months later, he dropped a song with the same melody and beat." To back up his claim, DatBoy posted comparison clips of both songs, highlighting the alleged similarities in rhythm and structure.
Silence from Sanders Jr. as buzz builds
So far, Deion Sanders Jr. has not responded to the accusation, and it's likely he won't. While DatBoy is active in promoting his content, he doesn't yet have a significant following, which may lead Sanders Jr. to ignore the growing controversy entirely.
Despite the lack of legal action or formal dispute, fans and critics alike have begun to weigh in, questioning the ethics of artists with greater platforms allegedly borrowing from lesser-known creators. Others argue that similarities in beats are common in the current era of digital production and don't necessarily prove intentional copying.
Can Deion Jr. make a name beyond his family?
Deion Jr.'s shift from football to music hasn't yet made a major splash, but incidents like this could force him into the spotlight, whether he wants it or not. As the conversation grows online, the real question is whether he'll address the situation or let the internet decide.
