Rappers Young Thug And Boosie Slammed For Transphobic Comments About Dwyane Wade's Daughter

Rappers Young Thug and Boosie Badazz are catching a lot of heat over their controversial comments about Dwyane Wade’s daughter, Zaya.

"All I wanna say to dwade son is 'GOD DONT MAKE MISTAKES' but hey live your true self," Young Thug tweeted on Tuesday.

The post, directed at the 12-year-old, has since been deleted but E! News reported that the rapper was bombarded with replies that accused him of being transphobic.

Earlier in the day, fellow rapper Boosie Badazz was also met with criticism after he posted a rant criticizing Wade’s decision to support of Zaya in an Instagram post.

"I gotta say something about this," the father of eight began. "Dwyane Wade you've gone too [expletive] far."

"That is a male, a 12-year-old," Boosie continued. "At 12 they don't even know what they next meal gon' be. They don't have [expletive] figured out yet. He might meet a woman at 16 and fall in love with her. Don't cut his [expletive] off bro. If gon' be gay let him be gay, but don't cut his dick off. Don't address him as a woman."

The harsh remarks come after Wade opened up about his daughter’s journey during an appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show." On the Feb. 11 episode, the retired NBA player shared the story of the moment that Zaya, who was born male and named Zion, decided to be referenced as 'she' and 'her.'

"Zaya, our 12-year-old... came home and said, 'Hey, so I want to talk to you guys. I think going forward I'm ready to live my truth. And I want to be referenced as 'she' and 'her.' I would love for you guys to call me Zaya,'" he explained.

"We are proud parents of a child in the LGBTQ+ community," Wade said of himself and wife, Gabrielle Union.
