Marlon Wayans has called out Elon Musk for ‘disowning’ his transgender daughter.

The comedian, best known for starring in the comedy White Chicks, appeared on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast.

In the episode, Wayans opened up about the relationship he has with his 24-year-old trans son Kai Wayans.

The 52-year-old admitted that he found his son’s transition hard but said he got over it.

He said: “As hard as it was, I think that it’s not important. It’s important what you went through; the five steps of grief, but I think it’s important that you get to acceptance.

“I’m proud to say it took me a week – but it felt like forever… I’m sad to say some parents, some family members, and some people it’ll take them a lifetime.”

Back in July of this year, billionaire Elon Musk said in an interview with Jordan Peterson that his daughter was ‘killed by the woke mind virus’.

He said: “I lost my [child], essentially. They call it ‘deadnaming’ for a reason. The reason they call it ‘deadnaming’ is because your [child] is dead.”

His daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, hit back at her biological father saying he was ‘desperate for attention and validation from an army of degenerate red-pilled incels and pick-mes who are quick to give it to him’.

In response to Musk’s comments, Wayans told Sharpe that he wanted to drive his Tesla ‘over a cliff’ because he doesn’t ‘like what he be saying about his trans child’.

He said: “It made me mad. You don’t treat them babies like that, you don’t disown your baby.”

The father-of-three first discussed his sons transition last November in an interview with The Breakfast Club.

He said: “I just want my kids to be free. I want them to be free and spirit-free and free to be themselves. The more you know yourself, the more you can govern yourself, the more you live your truth, the happier your existence.

“Those are my babies. I went through the five stages of grief to get to the beautiful, magical place called acceptance.”

Meanwhile, Musk who has 11 other children hasn’t accepted Vivian’s identity.
