Boosie Badazz took to Instagram to give his opinion about Dwayne Wade publicly supporting his 12-year-old child Zaya, who was born male but recently revealed that she identifies as female. Last week, Wade told Ellen, “Me and my wife–my wife Gabrielle Union–we are proud parents of a child in the LGBTQ+ community, and we’re proud allies, as well.”
Boosie said, “Dwyane Wade, you gone too f*cking far, dawg. That is a male. A 12-year-old. At 12, they don’t even know what they next meal gon’ be. They don’t have sh*t figured out yet. He might meet a woman, anything, at 16 and fall in love with her. But his d*ck be gone–how he gon’–like, bruh, you going too far, dawg. Don’t cut his d*ck off, bruh. Like, bruh, for real, if he gon’ be gay, let him be gay. But don’t cut his d*ck off. Like don’t dress him as a woman, dawg. He’s 12 years old. He’s not up there yet. He hasn’t made his final decisions yet. Don’t cut his f*cking di*k off, Dwyane Wade, bruh. You f*cking trippin’, dawg.”
Wade hasn't said whether Zaya was receiving gender reassignment surgery, only that she wishes to use she/her pronouns.
Zaya's brother Zaire responded in Boosie's comments, saying, “Y’all need to get the facts straight first man 🤦🏾♂️.”
Gabrielle Union also seemingly responded to Boosie, saying, “Listen, I'm built for this. I see it all and I keep high steppin for ALL of us. My dreams, my fight, my spirit, my work is for us all. You can fight me, you can trash me, you can stand in my way… I will keep moving forward & still cover you in love and light.”
Rapper Young Thug also comment on situation, writing on social media, “All I wanna say to DWade's son is God Don't Make Mistakes but hey live your true self.”
Wade appeared on Good Morning America yesterday and said that Zaya has been leading the family's journey. He explained, “She is our leader and the one thing about it with parents. Have conversations with your kids. Zaya early on knew two things. She knew straight and she knew gay, but Zaya started to do more research. She was the one who sat down with us as a family and said I don’t think I’m gay. She said ‘I identify myself as a young lady. I think I’m a straight trans because I still like boys. . . . As parents, we put our hopes and our fears on our kids, and with Zaya we decided to listen to her and she’s leading us along this journey.”
