Amid the ongoing bankruptcy trial of $11.89 million, Deion Sanders' son, Shilo Sanders, has been navigating a frustrating house-hunting journey. Shilo has amassed over 324,000 subscribers on YouTube, and in a recent upload, he couldn't hold back his thoughts on the city's real estate market.
"My biggest thing about New York, bro, is the square footage for the price," Shilo said. "Like, even if my budget is, I'm not even gonna say this is my budget, but you can go all the way up to $12,000 a month, and it's despicable what they're doing up there, bro," he continued.
"I don't know who normalised the real estate market in New York, but it's outrageous, bro," Shilo added, continuing to slam NYC's property prices. The former Colorado Buffaloes player is currently facing an ongoing $11.89 million bankruptcy trial.
The lawsuit stemmed from an incident in 2015, when John Darjean, a former security guard at Shilo's school, alleged that Shilo caused injuries to him when he tried to seize Shilo's phone. Darjean ultimately won a default judgment of $11.89 million after Shilo failed to appear before the court for the 2022 trial.
Consequently, in 2023, Shilo filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Judge Michael Romero's ruling in the bankruptcy case is still pending and may not come until 2027.
In a separate legal matter, Barnes & Thornburg LLP filed a case against Shilo, alleging there were about $170,000 in unpaid bills. However, that case was dismissed with prejudice back in October.
Sanders, 26, finished his collegiate football career after graduation in 2024. He was later released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2025 after he went undrafted by any National Football League (NFL) franchise in April 2025.
The athlete's public frustration highlights the growing disconnect between luxury housing costs and the financial realities faced by many, even those in the public eye. As he navigates these legal and personal hurdles, his social media presence remains a primary outlet for his experiences.
Observers note that the outcome of the bankruptcy trial will be a defining moment for his financial future. For now, Shilo continues to document his life, balancing his professional aspirations with the weight of his legal obligations.
The sports community remains watchful as the legal proceedings continue to unfold over the coming years, marking a challenging chapter for the young athlete.
