Joie Chavis has spoken out after receiving heavy backlash over her 14-year-old daughter, Shai Moss, who was out at the recent BET Awards.
Shai attended the event with her famous rapper father. Shad “Bow Wow” Moss, but viewers believed the outfit was far too revealing for a child.
According to Joie, she had no clue about the thigh-high slit, and when they did realize, it was too late for her to change.
“At no point did we know that there was a cut out, but whoever was selling, they should have said, ‘Hey, there was a cut out,’ and that’s all I’m going to say about that. And when she put it on, I think they were like, ‘Oh man, we didn’t realize,” she told her followers.
“Do we have a backup? No, we don’t have a backup. She has to go out.’ She felt weird and uncomfortable. Mama was not around. Mama was not in attendance.”
Shai also gave her take on the drama, “We all know it wasn’t appropriate. I think you could tell I was a little bit uncomfortable, but that’s okay. Everything happens for a reason. I think that people just misunderstand me because I think I am a little mature, but it’s okay, guys. Things happen. People are going to hate.”
