Former Basketball player, Dwayne Wade came out on social media to express his thoughts on the allegations on him and his family.

She said that Wade may be pressuring their daughter Zaya to change her name for his business benefits.

To which Dwayne responded with a long message in his social media post turning the pointer towards Siohvaughn.

“While none of us are surprised by Siohvaughn’s attempt to fight Zaya’s identity and her unwavering attempt to drag my name through the mud.” 

"I’m very disappointed that she continuously find ways of centering herself and HER needs, without regard to her children.”

“This report came out while Zaya was in class. This is a kid who has maintained a 4.0 GPA in honors classes."

"While navigating all this unsolicited and harmful attention and debates about her gender and sexuality from those who are committed to not listening to her, much less even knowing her!”
