On Thursday, Miami Heat legend Dwyane Wade's daughter, Zaya Wade, expressed zero interest in becoming an NBA superstar for a day. The young model was questioned on whether she would swap lives with her father for a day, a proposal she quickly denied. Zaya expressed her desire to have her own path as she continues to make waves as a style icon.

The query stemmed from a promotional video by MAC Cosmetics on Instagram, as she was named the next generation of M·A·C icons. Reverting to the question about the life swap, Zaya responded:

"I would not swap lives with my dad for one day," showing zero interest in being an NBA superstar for a day.

She was further queried by the interviewer as she was asked about a quality she shared with her father.

"Being me, being a scientist, looking fabulous, what else?"
