Dwyane Wade appeared at the Miami Heat vs Charlotte Hornets game last week, and his painted nails at the event have angered people.
It’s 2024, and people still can’t fathom the idea of men engaging in healthy self-expression, like beauty or fashion.
Wade — who is a long-term supporter of the LGBTQ+ community— attended his Hall of Fame induction ceremony at halftime during the game in Miami, Florida, on 14 January. The sporting star — who has supported his trans daughter’s modelling career— was pictured sporting a manicure in support of his former team’s colours, red and black.
However, some people had unwelcome opinions about Wade’s personal style choices, which is, of course, his own choice.
Rapper Mase called out Wade for his decision to wear nail polish on his It Is What It Is podcast on 17 January. “This like [Michael] Jordan in lingerie,” the musician, who was a popular hip-hop star between the 1990s and 2000s, began. “It’s just crushing. It’s what you don’t want to see. It just ruined everything.”
