Hill Harper has issued a lengthy apology after catching tons of backlash for referring to Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade’s daughter, Zaya, as “young man.”
As a family friend I feel so bad that I may have taken away from the celebration. Zaya’s courage and strength is something I celebrate. And there was absolutely no malicious intent to my post.

I am human and I am learning and often trying to do too many things which leads to mistakes like this one. I am sorry.
I’m sorry to those my post offended, that was certainly not my intention.— Hill Harper (@hillharper) May 29, 2020
There are many challenging things going on in the world right now and I certainly didn’t intend my birthday wish to be a negative distraction and certainly didn’t want it to take away from a celebratory birthday for Zaya. I extend my heartfelt apology to Zaya, the Wade family.
