‘She’s a True Daddy’s Girl’: Fans Are In Awe After Kaavia James Does This for Her Father Dwyane Wade 

“Shady baby’s love for daddy is on another level” is one of the comments an Instagram user wrote after viewing a recent clip of Kaavia James Union Wade giving her father, Dwayne Wade, an afternoon snack. 

In the upload shared on the parent-run account, Kaavia James, who appeared to be at home, was seen bringing Dwyane a miniature ice cream cone as he relaxed in the backyard. While handing him the treat, the 3-year-old said, “I have ice cream.”

The recording continued with the former basketball player thanking his daughter. Further in the video, Kaavia James explained why she gave her father that particular cone. “I have this one because you have that one,” she said.

Dwyane responded to the toddler’s comments by telling her how good the ice cream would be. He said, “These are going to be so good.” The video ended with Kaavia James describing the type of cone she got. While eating the ice cream, she said, “I got a chocolate one too.” 

In addition to the post, the caption read, “When you find out your Dad is redoing his will. Happy Friday!! Cheers to the weekend and remember to secure the bag!!” As fans viewed the upload, many pointed out that the tot was the ultimate “daddy’s girl.” 

“She’s a true daddy’s girl.”

“He’s is wrapped around her finger and toes. She’s a daddy’s girl to the core.”

“I’ve yet to see a video or a picture of Kaav throwing shade at her daddy. Maybe it’s safe to say not only are they twins but they are also besties?”

“Shady baby’s love for daddy is on another level.”

“She loves her dad so much!”

Among the previous remarks, other individuals mentioned how they found the caption referring to Kaavia James’ niceness stemming from Dwyane updating his will to be funny. One wrote, “The captions on this account kill me.”

Another said, “It’s the caption for me let me make sure my daddy having a good day.” A third individual posted, “The caption tho… his will lmao”

Still independent.

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.
