Deion Sanders Jr. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now , also known as Bucky, shared a bold statement that has caught everyone's attention. He says he beat Travis Hunter not once, but twice and he didn't hold back while saying it. Deion Sanders Jr. Says He 'Whooped' Travis Hunter in Tennis Match Deion Sanders Jr. shared a video on Instagram on Friday, June 14, 2025, after a light tennis tournament during a family vacation. It happened at a private tennis court, where the Sanders family and close friends gathered for enjoyment. In the video, Bucky, wearing a headband and holding a tennis racket, confidently says, 'I just beat Travis in tennis twice. I whooped him twice… So bro is really a*s, bro.' The clip went viral across fan pages and X (formerly Twitter), especially among Colorado Buffaloes fans. Travis Hunter, who has a close bond with Bucky since his time at Jackson State in 2021, didn't respond online, but fans were quick to joke about the friendly rivalry. Hunter had previously called Bucky his 'big brother.' Their friendship has been strong since Hunter shocked the football world by choosing to play under Deion Sanders at Jackson State, and later followed him to Colorado. The tennis match was just for fun, but Bucky didn't miss the chance to brag a little, leaving fans laughing and tagging Hunter for a rematch. Deion Sanders Jr. Has Built a Strong Brand Around Colorado Football Deion Sanders Jr. isn't just Coach Prime's son — he's also behind the popular Well Off Media YouTube channel that has made Colorado Buffaloes one of the most followed college football teams in the country.

Bucky also wrote a song for his younger brothers, Shedeur and Shilo, which played at Travis Hunter's wedding earlier this year, showing how close the group really is. Though the weekend tennis win was light-hearted, it gave fans a peek into the tight bond between Sanders Jr., Hunter, and the whole Colorado family.

Indian businessman gifts a custom pink Rolls-Royce to his 1-year-old daughter. Internet says, ‘We are not impressed'
In a world where over-the-top gestures are increasingly the norm on social media, Indian businessman Satish Sanpal may have just redefined extravagance. Celebrating Father's Day in Dubai , Sanpal stunned the internet by gifting his one-year-old daughter, Isabella, a custom-built pink Rolls-Royce—complete with monogrammed interiors, a personalized note, and a 'Congratulations, Isabella' nameplate. The video, originally posted on Instagram , features the founder of ANAX Developments arriving at the luxury showroom with his wife Tabinda and toddler in tow. What follows is a scene straight out of a luxury lifestyle reel: pink balloons, music, dancing, and a glittering car unveiled for a child who, quite literally, can't even drive it for another 17 years. But this wasn't Isabella's first brush with grandeur. In February, her first birthday party was a jaw-dropping spectacle held at Atlantis The Royal, one of Dubai's most opulent hotels. The venue was transformed into a winter wonderland with artificial snow, icy chandeliers, and white trees, all topped off with appearances by Bollywood stars like Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Tamannaah Bhatia, Atif Aslam, and Nora Fatehi. Isabella made her entrance in a princess carriage wearing a ball gown that might've made Cinderella blush. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The UK's Best-Selling Relief Shoe Has Just Been Named The 2025 Test Winner. Daily Buzz Report Undo View this post on Instagram A post shared by Lovin Dubai | لوڤن دبي (@lovindubai) A Dubai dad moment; or a viral misfire? While the Instagram caption praised Sanpal's lavish gesture as the ultimate 'Dubai Dad' moment, not everyone on the internet was swooning. Comments ranged from sarcastic to critical. One user noted, 'Must be a really nice feeling when you get gifted something so special, knowing you cannot use it for the next 17 years.' Another quipped, 'It's a tacky and flashy display of wealth and just proves that money does not buy class.' Others pointed out the absurdity of giving a toddler a high-end car when 'small kids are the happiest with empty containers and boxes.' Given the flashy nature of Instagram post, a commentor wrote, "Another show off, we are not impressed sorry."

While gifting luxury cars isn't unheard of in the world of billionaires and Instagram influencers, the gesture has sparked broader conversations around parenting, wealth display, and whether such ostentatious acts make meaningful memories or just eye-rolls. In a country like India, where millions of children grow up without basic amenities, such gestures inevitably invite scrutiny—especially when shared online with cinematic flair. While Sanpal might see it as a father's way of showing boundless love, the jury of the internet seems divided between awe and exhaustion. For now, baby Isabella has a Rolls-Royce she can't drive, a designer wardrobe she'll outgrow in months, and a social media footprint most adults would envy. As for the rest of us? We're still debating whether this was a parenting flex or just another tone-deaf showcase in the age of viral opulence.
