Comedian Marlon Wayans takes parenting very seriously, especially since his children are growing up in the public eye. He has two children with his ex-wife, Angelica Zachary.

The couple has a son named Shawn and a daughter named Amai. Despite his divorce, Wayans revealed that he has an unconventionally close bond with Angelica and they often go on dinner and movie dates together.

Unlike his character on the NBC sitcom, "Marlon," the comedian revealed that he has a more laid back approach when it comes to raising his teenagers, he explained:

"We're going to be friends. At a point when they become teenagers and they're dealing with real stuff, you have to have real conversations."

Recently, Wayans shared what appeared to be one of the "real conversations" he had with his children when he penned a sweet note to Amai.

The doting dad wrote, "Me: you know daddy loves you? I got you for life." While sharing Amai's response, it said, "Her: yeah, I know ... but I'm still gonna be in my feelings. Thanks tho."

However, she has had to deal with a lot of negative comments on social media.

Although Amai doesn't appear to have any known social media accounts, fans have directed their attacks to photos the comedian has shared celebrating his daughter and his support for the LGBTQ+ community.

It is reported, Wayans once left the negative comments on a post featuring Amai as a teachable lesson he hoped would help people to see their ignorance.
