*Dwyane Wade took to Twitter on Saturday to defend his 12-year-old son Zion against critics who slammed the NBA star for allowing the kid to dress like a prostitot.
The drama started Thanksgiving Day, when Wade’s wife, Gabrielle Union, shared a photo on her Instagram page showing the couple with their 1-year-old daughter, Kaavia, and Zion wearing a crop top and fake nails. Folks immediately criticized Wade for being a bad father for allowing his son to dress like a girl, Too Fab reports.
“Smh wtf this lil boy got nails on for?” one person wrote. “I’ve lost all respect for D Wade …”
“Why does his son have his nails done and dressed like a girl?” another commented.

Wade responded to the negative comments, noting that “Stupidity is a part of this world we live in,” he said.
“As a parent my only goal is that my kids feel that i see them, love them and support them,” he wrote. “I’ve seen some post-thanksgiving hate on social about my family photo.

The former NBA player defended his gay son back in October, when he posted a photo of Union, Kaavia, and Zion along with caption “My girls.” The posted triggered a slew of homophobic comments.
Union defended the post on Twitter, writing, “Looks like love to me. I truly hope that everyone gets the love, support and hugs they deserve. Also Kaav ain’t with the dumb shit. Peace & Blessings good people.”
Meanwhile, Wade was quick to defend his wife recently in a series of tweets amid her firing from “America’s Got Talent” for complaining about the toxic culture on set.
“When I got the news that my wife was being fired—my first question was obviously why!?” Wade wrote in one tweet. “I am still waiting on a good answer to that question.”
In a follow-up tweet Wade added, “As proud as I am of her being selected as a judge on “AGT,” I am even more proud of her standing up for what she stands for.”
