“I’m creative, I’m expressive, and there’s so many ways to do that,” Wade said as he admitted he has been considering launching a nail polish line, according to Vibe. “It could be a good time, but I got some cool ideas and I’m exploring. I’ve been having some conversations on my own about exploring.”
Wade’s interest in nail care has a personal connection. He enjoys painting nails with his 6-year-old daughter, Kaavia, seeing it as a bonding activity. He said, “That’s the time that we get to connect. Me doing something that she loves and also that I love.”
Despite Wade’s positive outlook, social media had mixed reactions. Some users mocked him, making homophobic remarks. Critics on TikTok and Instagram questioned his masculinity and motives. One commenter said, “We need more Black doctors, not a nail polish line.” Another added, “Just come out already! What woman’s husband is talking about starting a nail polish business.”
However, Wade also received support. Some people praised his initiative and defended his right to express himself. One person wrote, “It’s crazy how an active expression can suddenly determine our gender or our sexual preference in the eye of the public.”
