NBA legend sparks online debate after letting five-year-old daughter give him a makeover

Former NBA star Dwyane Wade finds himself in the midst of controversy after sharing a lighthearted moment with his five-year-old daughter, Kaavia James, who gave him a playful makeover in a series of Instagram posts.

Wade, known for his illustrious basketball career, has been embracing fatherhood since his retirement in 2019, often showcasing his softer side on social media. However, not everyone was pleased with his recent posts featuring his daughter’s makeup skills.

In the shared photos and videos, Wade can be seen shaking his head in mock disapproval as Kaavia James applies makeup to his face. The former basketball player humorously commented on the leniency daughters receive, playfully allowing his young daughter to experiment with eyeshadow and lipstick.

The videos capture a candid and heartwarming moment between father and daughter, with Wade indulging in the joys of being a ‘girl dad.’ However, social media reactions were swift and divided.

Critics argue that the act is ’emasculating,’ while others rallied in support of Wade, defending the genuine connection between a loving father and his daughter. Some users shared personal anecdotes, emphasizing that such activities foster positive parent-child relationships.
