Fashion Critic In-the-Making Kaavia Union-Wade Reasserts Her Shady Baby Title While Trolling Her Family
Kaavia Union-Wade is back on her Shady Baby business, and we’re rolling on the floor crying over her latest hysterical antics.
On Friday, the 5-year-old’s mom, Gabrielle Union-Wade, shared a hilarious Reel on Instagram, of which Kaavia was the star (naturally). The short video begins with the Bring It On actress and her stepdaughter Zaya Wade, 16, striking poses in stunning evening ensembles. Gabrielle donned a sleek black sheath dress with strappy black heels and diamond jewelry, and Zaya dressed in a sheer green gown with champagne-colored sandals, a green hairband, and a small handbag.
After a few seconds, the actress murmurs “There she is,” and she and Zaya begin offering more poses. The video transitions to a close-up of Kaavia, who mysteriously asks, “Does Kaav like it? Or does she don’t?” The little girl conspiratorially waggles her eyebrows before the video ends — it’s safe to say Kaavia has a career in fashion criticism, comedy, or both after that iconic performance.
Gabrielle’s fans ate up Kaavia’s signature Shady Baby behavior, with one fan commenting, “‘Or does she don’t?’ The only critic opinion that matters ????????????.” Another Instagram user wrote, “The lean back with the facial expression along w/ her question is giving top tier critic energy! ????????❤️,” while others commented, “Kavv said heavy on the ‘or does she don’t’ Always keep ‘em guessing! ????,” “The question remains …Does she do? It does she don’t?? Which one is it ?? ????,” and “The eyebrow raise ???????????? Judge Kaav has spoken!”
Another fan compared the youngest member of the Union-Wade family to two of her slightly-older peers: “Kaav, blue and north are not playin with y’all ????????????????????,” they wrote, referencing the hilariously authoritative energy continuously displayed by Beyoncé’s 11-year-old daughter Blue Ivy Carter and Kim Kardashian’s daughter 10-year-old North West.
As the new year quickly approaches, we know one thing for sure: our mantra for 2024 is “Does Kaav like it — or does she don’t?” Shady Baby knows best, after all.
