‘Put Her on Payroll’: Fans React After Kaavia James Dresses Her Dad for the Day

It looks like Kaavia James Union Wade found her career calling, and it isn’t as an actress like her mother or an athlete like her father. The Shady Baby showed fans how fashionable she is after dressing up Dwyane Wade in his recent TikTok. 

“So she’s picking me out an outfit to wear to go downstairs to show,” Wade shared with his 13.8 million TikTok fans as his camera focused on Kaavia rattling in his closet. 

The former basketball player noted that his 4-year-old daughter “has been his stylist” lately.

Satisfied with her outfit choice, Kaavia walked to her dad’s closet and grabbed a pink, yellow and blue tie-dyed shirt that said, “Just Smile” across the chest area. In her other hand, she held up a pair of blue and yellow leopard-fitted shorts. 

“That’s it right there?” Wade asked his daughter before she quickly spat out, “Yeah.”

To his surprise, the 41-year-old actually took a liking to the colorful look after he added a yellow wool hat to the mix. He recorded himself in the mirror saying, “This ain’t bad; you know what I’m saying. Swag.”

Kaavia’s interest in her father’s fashion sense faded instantly, causing her to say, “Okay, now let’s go to my room,” as the video goes off. 

Wade’s TikTok reached over 1.7 million fans and received over 700 comments from viewers who were surprisingly pleased with the outcome. 

To no surprise, the daddy/daughter TikTok made waves on various social media platforms, including Instagram, where fans couldn’t get enough of Wade’s bright-colored ensemble. 

One comment even compared Kavvia’s eye for fashion to NBA player Russell Westbrook and NFL star Cam Newton, who typically go viral for their unique outfits on game days. 

“I was a lil skeptical until you put it on.”

“Okay, put her on payroll.”

“She knows her dad well.”

“She tired of Russell Westbrook and Cam Newton stealing the spotlight with their fashion choices.”

Who knows, maybe Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade have a future stylist on their hands. 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
