Gabrielle Union slams Dwyane Wade in harsh reaction to former NBA star belittling their daughter Kaavia

Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade could be the stars in their home, but it surely’s their daughter, Kaavia James, who reigns because the true star of their family.

In fact, at only five years old, Kaavia is not even exempt from her father, older siblings, members of the family, and friends, making her the butt of their jokes.

However, the retired Miami Heat player won’t let his youngest daughter get used to the service. That’s exactly what they proved when several members of the Wade-Union crew hopped on the viral “Just give me my money” TikTok.

The offspring were gathered in the suite for a soccer game when “Shady Baby” was tricked into becoming the butt of the joke. Kaavia watched eagerly as six members of her family, including her older brother Zaire, recited, “Give me my money back.”

When it was finally her turn, she improved and demanded the cash with confidence and a businesslike tone. Those who went before her didn’t hear a single peep.

Kaavia quickly realized that nobody was rooting for her and initially kept her head down, before retreating elsewhere after the clip ended. Dwyane captured the whole moment, which received many mixed reactions on Instagram.

Zaire shared the footage, comically writing, “The @kaaviajames villain arc has officially started… and look at @dwyanewade at the end,” in the caption. Following the prank, the NBA star comforted his daughter, who buried her head in his shoulder, hiding her face from the others.

Bear Union’s mom laughed on the joke when her reaction appeared in the comments. Using several laughing emojis, she snapped, “You’re not my poor baby.”

Dwyane defended himself and the crew, joking that a minor bout of public humiliation from family members “builds character.” A proponent of this narrative declared, “This is how you empower them.”

But several others consider that Zaire had something to do along with his villain origin story, which began at this point.

One fan commented: “Now you knew how it would end! The little girl said it like she really meant it… someone better pay her!!” The other said, “One thing little sisters do is remember revenge! You will all see who will have the last laugh.”

Kaavia will have a good time her sixth birthday in November. Her famous parents welcomed their only child via surrogacy in 2018, after Union revealed years of failed IVF and infertility issues.

Dwyane is the parents of Zaire and Zaya, whom he shares along with his first wife, Siovaughn Finches-Wade. He can be the daddy of son Xavier, whom he welcomed with former “Basketball Wives” forged member Aja Metoyer in 2013 during Union’s hiatus.
