Three-year-old Kaavia James seems like she’s going into 2022 just as precocious and “shady” as she came into 2021.

On the toddler’s Instagram account, run by her parents Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade, Kaavia is looking pretty preoccupied in a recently posted clip as she talks on a walkie-talkie with another child.

Because the toddler on the other line is speaking gibberish, Kaavia simply replies, “Okay byeeeeee,” before hanging up.

The message on the video reads, “Why I don’t answer my phone,” while the caption hilariously added, “As per my last email of 2021, TEXT ME!”

Over the years, Kaavia has warmed our hearts and made us laugh as we’ve gotten to know her. She’s definately lived up to her nickname, “Shady Baby.”

Whether it’s the parents or the kids, sometimes we just can’t help letting out our inner “Shady Baby.” Peep the fun roundup we created to close out the year down below!

Britanny Renner Calling Out Critics Who Say She “Trapped” P.J. Washington

Influencer Britanny Renner couldn’t bite her tongue any longer over accusations made by online users that she “trapped” NBA Star P.J. Washington by birthing his child back in May. 

“Like when do you as men take accountability? You are old enough to ride this ride,” Brittany told DJ Akademiks back in November. “You want to f–k with me, you want to cum in me, you want to f–k me raw, so why are we babying men who make decisions for themselves… Stop acting like someone had to pull the wool over his eyes.”

We agree.

The Episode of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta When Erica Mena Told Safaree She Was Carrying Baby #2

The clip that went viral of the episode where Erica told Safaree she was expecting their second child was super awkward for several reasons.

As if that weren’t enough, Safaree posted a soundbite from one of his confessionals on Instagram where he shadily said he needed to get neutered after the clip gained traction online. 

As MADAMENOIRE previously reported, it was also a terrible look when, in January, Safaree told Erica he didn’t want them to have a second child because she’d gotten “too big” during her pregnancy of their first child, daughter Safire. 

Safaree and Erica, tumultuous as they are, later found a way to be in the same room to welcome their son Legend Brian back in June. Safaree recently said he “doesn’t want to lose” Erica in his life, but the couple is still currently divorcing

Time will tell how that plays out.

Nichols alleged plenty, including claims that Thompson offered her $75,000 for her silence, that he wanted her to get an abortion and that he sent texts saying he wouldn’t be present in the child’s life.

Nichols also claims in her lawsuit against the baller that her and Thompson’s fling happened while the baller was romantically linked to the mother of his three-year-old daughter, Khloe Kardashian.

Halle Berry Describing Her Child Support Payments As “Extortion”

After the Oscar-winning actress posted a subliminal message on her Instagram account in February saying, “Women don’t owe you sh*t,” some of Halle Berry’s followers assumed she was throwing shade at her ex Gabriel Aubry. 

The two share a young teenage daughter named Nahla and if you didn’t know, Berry used to pay Aubry $16,000 in monthly child support. 

With that in mind, the actress replied to one of the online users who picked up on her subliminal post and said, “It takes great strength eryday to pay it. And BTW it’s wrong and extortion!”

In MADAMENOIRE’s follow-up coverage, we shared that Berry’s payments were later cut in half.
