Usher came to a quick realization when it comes to serenading women at his residences.During his first show at his La Seine Musicale residency in Boulogne-Billancourt, France, the singer spotted actress Gabrielle Union in the crowd and was about to sing to her but quickly stopped himself after seeing her husband, Dwyane Wade next to her. "Let's not get carried away,” the singer said. “Y’know, this is Dwyane Wade- I ain’t crazy! That man will knock my whole head off and then dunk it.” He would post the moment on Twitter with the caption that read, “Ion want no smoke!” https://x.com/Usher/status/1706353116298318139?s=20Wade would repost the video saying that it’s all love between them. <a href="https://x.com/DwyaneWade/status/1706388817966403928?s=20">https://x.com/DwyaneWade/status/1706388817966403928?s=20</a>This moment comes a few months after he infamously serenaded Keke Palmer during his Las Vegas residency. He sang “There Goes My Baby” to the actress where she would be heavily criticized by her baby father, Darius Jackson, on social media.It’s the outfit tho… you a mom,” he wrote. “ We live in a generation where a man of the family doesn’t want the wife and mother to his kids to showcase booty cheeks to please others and he gets told how much of a hater he is. This is my family and my representation. I have standards and morals to what I believe. I rest my case.” Keke Palmer wasn’t the only woman to be serenaded by the singer. Other people included Winnie Harlow, Kash Doll, and more. It was recently announced that Usher will be the 2024 SuperBowl Halftime performer in Las Vegas. https://x.com/Usher/status/1705953504563446066?s=20

All within a 2-3 week span," Wade said. "All our kids gonna grow up hooping together. 'Oh we on! Boy we gonna have 3 babies! We on!'"Once Zaya came out as trans he realized her had to let that dream go."See what happens when you start making plans for other people's lives?"Now, he says he is happy yo see his daughter grow to be the woman she wants to be.

Zaya Wade is giving her father, Dwyane Wade, all of the praise. During a <a href="https://apple.news/AGukA5WiiQ6-cgeNBQHovCg">recent interview</a>, Zaya opened up about what it’s like having a supportive father, and he inspires her. “My dad is who truly inspires me the most,” she said. “Kids always tend to look up to their parents, but not only did I idolize him growing up and see him as a real person, I realize that he has played such an essential role in supporting me and the ways I choose to present myself to the world.” She continued, “He’s been so supportive and my biggest advocate. He took the time and learned and grew. I want to have that same mentality going through anything in life.” Zaya also spoke on the difficulties and challenges she had faced while coming out and transitioning. “Coming out is such a big change. It’s hard to navigate. We’ve all learned more about each other and the way we can coexist and grow together in this crazy world, especially in the public eye,” she said. Zaya added, “It’s like a spotlight is always on you. At the end of the day though, we are a family, and we support and love each other and we are grateful.” She posted a touching tribute to her dad after he was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cv5-qUNp3B2/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Things between Dwyane Wade and his ex-wife Siohvaughn Funches are becoming uglier when it comes to their daughter, Zaya Wade. The former basketball player is responding back to Funches, who has publicly gone against their daughter, Zaya’s, decision to legally change her gender and stated that Funches needs to “let her live her truth.” <a href="https://bossip.com/2197158/dwyane-wade-siohvaughn-funches-let-zaya-live-her-truth/">Legal documents state</a> that Zaya’s mother is not thinking about her daughter’s best interest as he is fighting against her petition. We reported that Siohvaughn has filed court documents that accused Wade of pressuring Zaya to make this decision for money. Wade would respond to the allegations and say, “The petition is about empowering Zaya to live her truth. Allowing Zaya to take on the milestones of being a young adult with confidence and joy, and to ensure that those moments are not clouded by the self-doubt that comes from checking a box or signing a name that does not reflect her identity.” He also went on to say that the court order will allow Zaya, to “live more comfortably and honestly in all aspects of her life-from simple introductions and food orders, to applying for a driver’s license and filing out college applications.” Wade added, “Zaya should not be forced to put her life on hold while she waits for Siohavuahgn to acknowledge and accept her truth.” What are your thoughts on this?

Dwyane Wade's Transgender Child, Zaya, Hits the Red Carpet

Photo Credit – Getty Images Was society ready for a 12-year-old child to express their feelings about their gender identity?While many people support Zaya on her gender journey, some folks are highly upset. One person who expressed heavy criticism toward Dwayne Wade and Gabrielle Union is Lil Boosie. We covered the story, <a href="https://www.hot97.com/news/hot-97-now/boosie-receives-backlash-following-comments-about-dwyane-wades-transgender-child" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Boosie </a>didn’t have pleasant words for Zaya and felt she was too young to make a life-changing decision with her gender. “Dwyane Wade you’ve gone too f**king far,” said Boosie. “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 s–t figured out yet. He might meet a woman, anything, at 16 and fall in love with her. But his d*** be gone—how he gon’—like, bruh, you going too far, dawg.”“Don’t cut his d–k off, bruh. Like, bruh, for real, if he gonna be gay, let him be gay. But don’t cut his d–k off, bruh. 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—ing d–k off, Dwyane Wade,” Boosie said.People online came at Boosie since Dwayne or Gabrielle never confirmed that Zaya would be getting a sex change. People are also calling Boosie out for being transphobic. Gabrielle Union seemingly responded with a cryptic message, basically saying she can handle this because she’s “built” for it.
