Deion Sanders is still annoyed with a report that said he made Colorado players attend his son Shedeur's rap concert with Lil Wayne.

The Colorado coach addressed players in the locker room and joked about the report in the latest video posted to the Well Off Media YouTube channel.

"I'm still mad at y'all who didn't go watch Shedeur," Sanders joked (2:30 mark). "How stupid was that? Good lord."

Steve Corder of Athlon Sports reported Sanders made the concert "mandatory" and threatened to kick players who did not attend off the team. According to the report, it was the "final straw" for some players who decided to transfer from the program.

Shedeur Sanders opened for Lil Wayne's concert after Colorado's spring game in April. While several teammates were in attendance, it does not appear any who chose not to attend the concert were dismissed from the program.

Colorado was 4-8 during Sanders' first year with the program, taking the nation by storm with a 3-0 start before losing eight of its last nine games. The Buffaloes come into 2024 with major expectations, as Shedeur Sanders and two-way star Travis Hunter are on the radar of NFL scouts and Heisman watchlists.
