Marlon
Wayans
stopped
by
The
Breakfast
Club
to
promote
his
latest
stand-up
comedy
special,
“Good
Grief.”
During
the
interview,
he
revealed
that
he
wanted
to
get
even
more
personal
in
his
future
stand-up
comedy
specials
and
dedicate
the
next
one
to
his
trans
son,
Kai.
The
special
titled
“Skittles”
or
“Rainbow
Child”
would
be
about
his
“daughter
who
transitioned
to
a
son.”
“My
daughter
Amai
(Wayans)
is
now
Kai
and
so
I
talk
about
the
transition
–
now
their
transition
–
by
my
transition
as
a
parent
going
from
ignorance
and
denial
to
complete
unconditional
love
and
acceptance.
I
think
there’s
a
lot
of
parents
out
there
that
need
to
have
that
message
and
I
know
I’m
dealing
with
it,”
he
said.
“It
was
a
very
painful
situation
for
me,
but
man
it’s
one
of
the
best
funniest
hours
I
probably
could
ever
imagine.”
Of
course,
being
the
comedian
that
he
is,
he
joked
with
his
daughter
about
the
decision
saying,
“‘N***a
you
transitioning
into
your
brother!
You
look
just
like
him!’
I
can’t
tell
the
difference
between
her
and
Shawn.
I
swear
to
God.”

It’s
no
secret
that
Marlon
is
a
proud
supporter
of
the
LGBTQIA
community.
He
has
always
made
an
effort
to
show
up
and
gracefully
love
his
child
out
loud.
The
comedian
and
actor
took
to
Instagram
to
wish
his
son
a
heartfelt
birthday.
The
tribute
thanked
Kai
for
teaching
him
how
to
love
people
unconditionally.
“Happiest
bday
my
baby…
daddy
loves
you
to
the
moon
and
back.
I’ve
always
asked
people
to
love
me
unconditionally,
thank
you
for
teaching
me
what
that
really
means.
Be
you!
Your
best
you!
You’re
the
gift
and
I’m
wrapping
paper…
love
love
love
you
for
life.
Excuse
my
ignorance,
chalk
it
up
to
growth.
Love
you
so
much,
thank
you
for
making
me
a
man.
So
proud.
🌈”
he
wrote.
The
first
time
Marlon
opened
up
about
his
son
was
back
in
2019
when
he
took
to
Instagram
during
Pride
Month
to
show
love
and
support.
Unfortunately,
the
post
was
met
with
much
criticism
and
backlash.
He
wrote,
“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.”
One
user
wrote,
“Another
brother
from
Hollywood
who
failed
his
kids🤦ðŸ¾â™‚ï¸ðŸ¤¦ðŸ¾â™‚ï¸.”
However,
not
all
feedback
was
negative!
Some
users
opened
up
and
expressed
their
gratitude
for
the
support
of
the
community.
Be
on
the
lookout
for
the
release
of
Marlon
Wayans’
stand-up
comedy
special,
“Good
Grief,”
dropping
soon!
