Cardi B Defends Zaya Wade: ‘People Are Forgetting This Is A 12-Yr-Old Kid’

Zaya Wade, the transgender daughter of Dwayne Wade, has been a hot topic for many celebrities who’ve weighed in on her father’s recent acceptance of her transition — and Cardi B is fully behind her.

“A lot of people have been giving opinions about this little kid wanting to transition and everything,” Cardi said, speaking directly to the camera. 

“And I feel like a lot of people are forgetting that this is a 12-year-old kid, that before you say your opinions and everything, let’s not forget that this is a kid. Let’s not forget that this kid could be very, very sensitive.” 

Cardi slammed people’s claims that Zaya is too young to make a decision about her gender.

“People are saying that this kid is too young to transition, but it’s like…if you were born thinking that you are a girl in a boy’s body, how old do you have to be to keep knowing that that’s who you are? That’s who you are, that’s your identity. If that’s who you feel that you are, what is the age limit for you to know that that’s what you want to be?”

While most celebrities have been behind Zaya, some have been very vocal about their concerns — especially Boosie Badazz, who went viral last week after insisting that Wade does not cut Zaya “d*ck” off.

Social media savagely dragged him in response to his controversial remarks.
