“He's not doing anything wrong by supporting his children,” Haslem said. “He should support Zaya and all the dreams she has, regardless of what she wants to do in life. That is the job of a father and a parent.

“So, regardless of that, sitting at home, painting her nails with her daughters, what is she going to do? … In the world today, where we see so many girls growing up and having daddy issues, and you make sure that doesn't happen. And we condemn that sh*t. Stop that sh*t, that hatin'.”

Wade's decision to paint her nails is a personal one, influenced by her daughter Zaya, who is transgender. By embracing this form of self-expression, Wade not only supports Zaya but also challenges conventional notions of masculinity. This act of solidarity sparked discussions about gender norms and personal freedom.

Wade's actions also made waves in the fashion world, challenging conventional grooming norms and encouraging other men to explore new ways of expressing themselves. As a style icon, Wade's painted nails have become a symbol of breaking barriers and promoting inclusivity.

While critics may see Wade's nail art as controversial, Haslem's candid words emphasize the importance of unconditional parental support and the need to challenge outdated societal expectations.

In a world where traditional gender norms are constantly evolving, Wade's choice is a powerful reminder of the power of embracing authenticity and supporting loved ones.
