‘You Doing too Much’: Gabrielle Union Dancing Video Goes Left After Fans Focus on Dwyane Wade’s Reaction to His Wife’s Moves

Over the past few weeks, Gabrielle Union has shown her millions of followers her talents as a dancer in addition to being a successful actress. Her most highlighted moments featured her daughter, Kaavia James Union Wade, and singer Lizzo. 

On April 1, Union, who wore a beige ensemble including a criss-cross top, matching pants and jacket, picked up her dancing shoes once again as she twerked to City Girls’ latest single “Top Notch.”

As the clip continued, the “Cheaper by the Dozen” star was seen having the time of her life when she was abruptly interrupted by her husband, Dwyane Wade. Wade, who doesn’t appear on camera, can be heard rushing Union in the background. He said, “Gab, come on.” Union then, in turn, replies, “Okay.” 

Union expressed in the caption how her husband was a “hater” for ruining her dance number. She wrote, “How The Night Ended @dwyanewade is a hater. Perhaps if my stance wasn’t so widdddeeee #TopNotch @citygirls.” 

As the actress’ upload began circulating online, many couldn’t help but mention Wade’s annoyed tone. 

“D Wade voice make it funny to me.”

“He said Gabs come on. Like she been annoying all day.”

“He sounds like this was about 30th time she recorded it.”

“I love her !! Hubby sounded like he was over it lmao.”

“He said you doing too much just by the tone of his voice.”

In addition to the previous remarks, others mentioned how spouses won’t allow their significant others to be great.


One wrote, while mentioning Wade’s name, “Daggg, DWade! let my girl be great!!” Another said, “It be your own spouse.” A third Instagram user posted, “They don’t never want us to be great.”

Hours before Union’s dancing clip, the star shared a series of photos in a fashion upload with Wade. She captioned the post, “How the night started…”

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
