Ma$e loves him some Dwyane Wade, but he isn’t too fond of some of the former NBA star’s fashion statements, especially his painted fingernails.
The Harlem rapper shared his disappointment with D-Wade on his and Cam’ron‘s sports show It Is What It Is after the Miami Heat legend was seen rocking colorful nails at his Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame ceremony last weekend.
“D-Wade, D-Wade,” Ma$e said, shaking his head in disapproval, before sending his co-host into hysterics by adding: “This is like seeing Jordan in lingerie. It’s just crushing me — pause. It’s something you don’t want to see. It ruin everything for you.”
“It’s like when you have somebody you looked up to, you appreciated their work as an athlete and then they go do this. It’s like, ‘We can’t do nothing with that, man!'”
Ma$e then branded Wade as the front-runner for the “Come On, My N-gga” Award, while Cam’ron, fighting through laughter, predicted his co-host would go “viral” for his comments.

After composing himself, Killa Cam shared his own thoughts on Dwyane Wade’s painted fingernails and fashion sense as a whole.
“For the last however many years — and I don’t want to say since he’s been with Gabrielle Union, but he’s become very eclectic over the years,” he said. “His blouses, his shirts, his capri pants.”
Ma$e interjected: “You call it eclectic?! He’s become very sassy over the years.”
The former Bad Boy rapper then criticized Dwyane Wade for not setting a good example for his sons with his androgynous flair.
“Your image does matter. This what I’d say to D-Wade: If you’re gonna do your nails, do your hair, do your lashes. I would respect it more than just tip-toeing out,” he said.
“As a man who’s got sons and sons that are growing up, that matters. Whatever they decide, they decide. It’s important that people put the right imagery out there and I think it’s the wrong imagery.”
Despite their feelings on his fashion sense, Cam’ron was still full of respect for the three-time NBA champion, though, saying: “I’m not mad at it. The fingernails didn’t shock me, and the bigger story is: congratulations to him for getting the trophy, the statue and everything else.
“Because he did put in work as a basketball player when it came to the Miami Heat. They wouldn’t have won them championships without him.”
But yet you ignored Diddy butt r***** men and didn’t say a word back then. Shows what your morals are.
Exactly. Everyone’s telling the truth 25 years later and trying to appear to be honorable. I have the same issues with katt Williams’ rant
Now we know where his kid picked those habits from 😏
This from one dude who used to dress in pink from head to toe, and the other one who ran around with Diddy wearing shiny suits, while both sit around gossiping about what other men are wearing. Mad sus…
if suspect was a person
Dark skins are always on that gay shit
What do you think about a man whom may have Groomed his own son
People need to stop being so mentally fragile. His trans kid has nothing to do with him, that’s something that is neurological/ natural occurrence, not debatable, all respected science organizations that study neuroscience & biology agree to that. As far as a man dressing more feminine, that isn’t as earth shattering as some people make it out to be. Social structures often times put people in unnecessary boxes. Nail polish is simply paint, it’s color. A dress is cloth, you only think a dress is for women because “society” attaches that meaning to it. When it’s simply just cloth.You are so attached to such a hollow perception of how women & men are supposed to act only because it’s engraved in your head. Just because someone doesn’t fit into the “majority” doesn’t make it wrong.
