Future Hall of Famer Dwyane Wade has blocked his daughter’s Instagram comments due to negative comments left by trolls, the former Miami Heat guard recently announced.
“I hate that I can’t comment hearts and cute comments on Zaya Wade’s [Instagram] post,” a fan wrote. “As a member of her community, the LGBTQ community, I wanna lift her up too! [Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade] — fix it please.”
For Zaya’s mental health and privacy we’ve decided not to allow the hate into her comments. Thank you for wanting to spread and send her love 🫡 https://t.co/tmjMUGtcVf
