In 2019, NBA legend, Dwayne Wade, was the topic of much discussion, after he played the last home game of his career. That most definitely deserves props, but according to many ladies- young and older- his pops, Dwayne Sr., deserves a handclap too- not for any basketball accomplishments, but for his youthful physique and swag.

Before we show y’all why ladies are swooning over Dwayne’s Daddy, we must first share the emotional experience that D. Wade had with his wife/actress, Gabrielle Union, and their cute-as-a-button baby girl, Kaavia.

Nigel Shelby, a 15-year-old high school student in Huntsville, Alabama, killed himself last week over anti-gay bullying and depression.

Nigel’s mother Camika Shelby says, had trouble accepting himself. He experienced depression and sometimes sank into a dark place. She recalls when Nigel finally gathered the courage to come out to her two years ago.

“Coming out at such a young age, it can be hard. You don’t know if you are going to be accepted. He didn’t know if I was going to accept him. He’s my child. I love him. I know him. I already knew.”

Camika says she thought her acceptance would give Nigel the courage to embrace his true self, but she says he still struggled.

“He felt like sometimes he could be him and a lot of times he couldn’t. ‘I’m sorry.’ ‘Don’t apologize.’ I just wish that, I don’t know, that people would just learn to love, you know,” she said.

Nigel was laid to rest on Saturday, TMZ reports efforts to pay for his funeral was spearheaded by Pinky Cole — owner of the popular ATL restaurant Slutty Vegan — and “Master of None” star Lena Waithe, who enlisted their famous friends to help out.

Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade are springing into action to help the mother of the Alabama teen who recently died from suicide after he was mercilessly bullied for being gay.

The group of celebs — which also includes Ludacris and Janelle Monae — donated money to help cover Nigel Shelby’s funeral.

Sources wouldn’t say how much money was raised, but it was enough to cover the expense of Nigel’s tombstone, funeral service … and a separate amount to support Camika.

Dwayne Wade Is Taking Some Heat

Miami Heat point guard Dwyane Wade is accustomed to being in the media but this time it’s his son that folks are talking about. On Saturday, March 16th, Wade held a fashion show called “A Night on the Runwade” in Miami—a fundraiser benefiting the Wade Family Foundation and the Overtown Youth Center. Some of Wade’s fellow Miami Heat teammates showed their support, and of course, wife Gabrielle Union was in attendance.

MadameNoire reports one of the models who turned heads on the runway included Wade’s 11-year-old son, Zion.  Zion strutted his stuff, even twirling at one point as Union screamed in excitement. Wade would later have a proud papa moment, sharing the clip of Zion’s walk in his InstaStories with the caption, “Killing sh-t.”

After watching the video many people made comments in reference to the Zions manner and then criticized the 37-year-old for encouraging his son. Comments erupted like this one from a man on Twitter which said, “Fathers please don’t allow your children to bend and conform to societal pressures”.  However, apparently, Wade had no issue in how Zion walked the runway.

A while back, we reported that Damon Wayans Jr., son of the legendary comedic actor, Damon Sr., has children with a former reality TV star. That news came as a surprise. What also made folks go, ‘Saywhat?!!,’ was that Damon Jr.’s baby mama is the same young lady who had a baby with NBA star, Dwyane Wade – during his supposed “break” from his now actress wife, Gabrielle Union.

Well, fast forward to today and Damon Jr. is now fighting to gain custody of his two teen daughters and he’s making some serious claims about what his ex is doing to both his children, as well as Wade’s son.

Damon Jr. and former Basketball Wives reality TV star, Aja Metoyer, have 13 and 15-year-old daughters. The former lovebirds were high school sweethearts and apparently had a lengthy relationship, until things went sour. By 2013, Aja had a son with Dwyane Wade, who’s now 4 years old. According to court docs, she’s collecting child support for all three of her children. However, Damon is now claiming that she’s not doing right by them, nor her kids in return.

According to The Blast, Damon Jr. is accusing Aja of everything under the sun – including child neglect, being a selfish mother and a unfit parent, who reportedly spend up her kids child support checks on things other than her children. As a result, he is requesting primary physical custody of his daughters. Prior to now, the two shared joint custody and Aja had primary physical custody of their girls:

Via The Blast: “Happy Together” star Damon Wayans Jr. has put his reality star baby mama on notice that he wants to change up their custody arrangement and get full custody of his kids because she’s allegedly not taking their daughter’s education seriously, and he’s also questioning how she’s spending child support money from him and NBA star Dwyane Wade.

According to a declaration by Wayans, he now wants primary custody of the girls during the week, claiming they are “suffering scholastically” because of their mother’s “inability to prioritize their education.” The actor claims the children are “habitually absent” or tardy to class, and lists a host of other issues he says is negatively affecting his children’s education and home life.

Wayans argues that with having primary custody, it is Metoyer’s responsibility to get the children to school on time and make sure they complete their homework.

In addition to the above claims by Damon Jr., he also states in court docs that Aja “puts her own needs before those” of her children. The Blast reported that one such example he listed, is when she reportedly took one of their daughters on a cruise for vacation when the girls was actually scheduled to be in summer school, so that she wouldn’t flunk out of class.

But wait…there’s more…

He also claims that Metoyer retaliates against him when the two have personal disputes by denying him access to the girls.

The actor brings up the situation with D-Wade in his documents alleging Metoyer is irresponsibly spending child support money: “I do not know how [Metoyer] spends the child support money she receives from me or the father of [Metoyer’s] other child, a 4-year-old whose father is basketball star Dwayne [sic] Wade.”

He claims that his daughters are routinely left alone to care for 4-year-old Xavier, and says the instability is causing a major problem for all the children.

Damon Wayans Jr. and Aja Meteoyor are due in court for a custody mediation on October 31, the morning of Halloween. But, pretty sure ghosts n goblins won’t be the scary thing she’s spooked about that day though.

Whenever you hear the name Wayans, you probably associate the name with lots of talent and laughter. So it comes as no surprise that Damon Wayans Jr. is an apple that didn’t fall far from the family tree. Damon Jr. is a talented actor, scriptwriter, and stand-up comedian, just like his pops, Damon Sr. In fact, he’s made quite a name for himself over the years and he’s now a celebrity in his own right. Now, the 35-year-old actor has children of his own, but most fans probably don’t know he and Miami Heat star, Dwyane Wade, have a child by the same woman.

Dwyane’s Love Child:

Remember when Dwyane Wade had a love child with another woman during the time he and Gabrielle Union were “taking a break?” Well, Damon also has kids with that woman and her name is Aja Metoyer. When details surfaced about Wade’s love child, of course, the reports sparked a media firestorm. At the time, Damon was asked about the situation, and he revealed that although he and Aja were high school sweethearts with lots of history, they lead totally different lives now. The famed actor made it clear that his daughters are his priority when it comes to Aja, according to Madame Noir. “I really have nothing to do with Aja’s situation. We both live completely separate lives, aside from co-parenting. My concern is my daughters and that they don’t get hurt in any of this.”

He went on to confirm that his daughters “love their little brother [Xavier Wade] and that’s all I care about.” But, of course, Damon knows about the dark side of fame which is why he didn’t want his daughters being dragged into all the drama.

A Break Baby?:

Although the drama has subsided, there are still whispers about whether or not Dwyane and Aja’s son, Xavier, is a “break baby.” Shortly after details surfaced about Aja’s pregnancy, she was immediately labeled as a “side chick,” a “homewrecker,” and any other undesirable name you can think of despite Dwyane’s claims about taking a break from his relationship with Gabrielle Union. Even though Dwyane adamantly insists he didn’t cheat on Gabrielle, Aja was still dragged. During a recent interview with OK! magazine, she finally decided to clear the air and set the record straight about her relationship with the NBA baller. Aja claims it’s all very simple: numbers don’t lie.

“I think that a little bit of mathematics needs to be done. I’ve known the person ten years,” Aja explained. “My son is not a break baby. He’s almost four. Do the math,” she continued. “I’ve never been a mistress, side chick, any of those things,” she insisted. “I’m not a homewrecker… I wish I was a little Jezebel, you know? It might have worked out for me better that way,” she joked. But on a serious note, Aja revealed she knows how it feels to be cheated on so she wouldn’t have done that to another woman. “I’ve been cheated on, do you think I’m going to be an accomplice,” she asked. “Someone cheated with my man, why would I put that pain on someone else?”

And there you have it ILOSM fam’…all’s well that ends well. Wishing the blended families all the best going forward.
