Marlon Wayans is not having it when it comes to his daughter. The beloved actor and comedian showed the epitome of a father’s unconditional love last week when he posted a tribute to his lesbian daughter on Instagram.
“Happy pride to my pride and joy. I wouldn’t change one effing thing about you. Love you to the moon around the sun through the galaxies and back again,” Wayans wrote under a picture of his beautiful daughter Amai Wayans, 19, wearing shoes with rainbow soles.
When his millions of followers chimed in, there were both supporters and critics, ABC News reported.
To one user who said they would unfollow, Wayans responded “bye.” To another who said Amai wasn’t old enough to understand her sexuality, Wayans replied, “She’s 19. She’s who she is until or until she don’t choose different. Love her for her not for what I want her to be,” reported Upworthy.

Jamarlin talks to Ryan Wilson, founder of Atlanta’s Gathering Spot. They discuss Wilson’s plans to scale his profitable subscription and events business, and whether Kamala Harris’ candidacy will result in a civil war in Black America. They also discuss the term “people of color” and why Atlanta is one of the hottest cities for tech.
After one of his followers suggested he delete the comments, Wayans said he would leave them up to show there’s a lot of ignorance that still exists.
One thing is certain, Wayans is showing the world that he loves his children no matter what – and if you come for them, he will clap back. It’s the type of a love a father should have.
