First-year Colorado Buffaloes head coach and Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders is trying to get his team out of a three-game losing streak, one that’s dropped the Buffs to 4-5 after beginning the season 3-0.

As Coach Prime readies his team for its final home game of the season this weekend versus the Arizona Wildcats, the legendary defensive back had an honor bestowed upon him.

The breakfast delight is a limited-edition release under Broadus Foods umbrella, which happens to be Snoop Dogg’s grocery food brand, and is the first black-owned breakfast food company. It is a move that Master P doesn’t take lightly, and he recently talked about its significance during an appearance on The Nick Ferg Show.

Prime Effect Is A Real Thing

Master P, whose real name is Percy Miller, has had plenty of success in other business ventures outside of music. He told the show this about what they set out to do.

“We were able to do something incredible and create a limited edition box for coach Deion Sanders, who’s probably one of the greats in college football now,” Miller, the Broadus Foods CEO, told the show.

Miller then expounded on why he and Snoop felt it was necessary to honor Coach Prime. Both believe his impact and leadership and his social contributions outside of his coaching responsibilities are second-to-none, and for that he deserved the honor.

“Everything he stands for. What he means and brings to the culture as a leader. The fatherhood … Just a great person in general.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
