Gabrielle Union thought she was in for a treat on Mother’s Day when her 4-year-old daughter Kaavia James volunteered to do her hair. But as they played hairdresser, the duo got into a serious conversation (as you do), and Shady Baby came out in full force. Kaavia, who Union shares with husband Dwyane Wade, warned her mom of some pretty dire consequences if she didn’t give in to Kaav’s request.
“If you’re gonna, like, do this today, then I’m getting a different mom,” Kaavia casually threatens her mom in the video posted to Instagram. She added, “And I don’t want that.” It’s giving this-will-hurt-me-more-than-it-hurts-you vibes, and it’s so funny. The audacity on this child to threaten her mama like that, ooooh girl!

Union makes a shocked face in the video, totally caught off guard about how easily she could be replaced in Kaavia’s eyes. She then tries to clarify: “Wait, if I don’t change my mind, you’re going to get a different mom?” Kaavia gives the shadiest look to the camera before immediately changing the topic. No more words need to be said, obviously.
“Stay here. You still can be like a princess, but you need to be like me,” the hairstylist-in-training says. Is she trying to butter her mom up now? Well, if threats don’t work…
Dwyane Wade Was Laughing at the Video, Too
We weren’t the only ones who found this moment hilarious. Wade couldn’t help but laugh, too.
The video was posted to Kaavia’s Instagram account (run by her parents) on Sunday, captioned, “I said, what I said… even on Mother’s Day!”
Wade commented, “And I don’t want that 😂.” Kaavia isn’t saying she wants another mom, but she’ll do what she has to do!
Another commented, “We rootin’ for you Gabby. Don’t make Kaavia get a different mom. We like you! 🤣🤣🤣”
“She really doesn’t want it for you! Can’t say you weren’t warned 🤷🏾♀️🤣,” another laughed.
“😂😂😂 she definitely said what she said so govern yourself accordingly,” one person wrote. “She doesn’t want a new mom but if you force her she’s gotta do what she’s gotta do!! Period!!!”
Kaavia & Dwyane Wade Set Up a Surprise for Gabrielle Union on Mother’s Day
Luckily, Wade pampered Union on Mother’s Day. He and Kaavia set up a surprise with her, complete with a homecooked breakfast, a new riding outfit, and a trip to go horseback riding.
“Celebrating my beautiful wife today and always,” he wrote on Instagram. “I see you, appreciate you, and I love you. Happy Mother’s Day @gabunion 🌹”
Gabrielle Union Tells Kaavia That She Loves ‘Being Your Mom’
Union shared her own post on Mother’s Day, including several selfies of her and Kaavia.
“Thank you for giving me the best role of my life 💕,” the Truth Be Told star wrote on Instagram. “Wishing a special Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms trying to get it right and do better. Your effort is enough. 🫶🏾”
She also shared a video of herself telling Kaav, “I love being your mom.” Her daughter responds, “I know.” Which, kinda makes her threat about getting a new mom that much shadier.
She isn’t called Shady Baby for nothing!
