Coach Prime Won’t Allow JSU Football Players to Leave Houston Hotel Because of Rapper Takeoff’s Death
Migos group member, Takeoff was shot and killed in Houston, TX on Tuesday morning. Due to that tragic circumstance, Jackson State University’s head football coach, Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders has decided to keep his players in the safety of a hotel when the team plays in Houston this weekend. They will not be allowed to leave the hotel while in Houston.
According to TMZ, the NFL Hall of Famer referenced the shooting to his players while giving a speech to the team on Tuesday in preparation for their next collegiate competition.
JSU is scheduled to play the Texas Southern Tigers on Saturday.
“I’m just sick and tired of the consistency of people that are influential to you are leaving us consistently, that’s our rappers.
“Takeoff was murdered in a dice game in Houston — where we’re going,” Sanders informs his young players. “So, that eliminates all y’all leaving that hotel, ’cause it ain’t happening until I give you further notice.”
The influential coach explains to his players that we’re losing our Hip-Hop artists to the ignorance of the streets. He also points the finger at our community referencing the sentiment that Black lives matter “but it’s always us” contributing to our destruction.
“I’m sad because it always seems like it’s us, but we wanna say we matter, we wanna say we keep it 100, but it’s always us!”
The former reality TV star also gives advice that he may have had to follow himself as he rose from his hometown into the spotlight of being an NFL legend.
“Sooner or later, we gotta start changing our addresses, guys. That’s an analogy to say, ‘I know we this, but we ain’t that.’ We gotta leave behind what we once did. You’re not whoever you were a year ago. You’re not even who you’re going to be a year from now, which is a blessing. But you can’t continuously do the things you’ve always done and expect to get the results.”
The JSU TIgers are currently undefeated as their record stands at 8-0.
