Amai Zackary Wayans Bio
Amai Zackary’s Background
Amai was born on 24th May in 2000, to famous actor Marlon Wayans and Angelica Zachary. She became the firstborn in a family of two, followed by her brother Shawn Wayans.
Amai is the daughter and niece of the central characters of The Wayans Bros, which clearly dictated that she was bound to be in the limelight. On top of that, her brother Shawn is a prolific basketball player.
Marlon Mayan is divorced since 2013, but he hasn’t come public with another woman yet. The same can be said of his ex-wife, Angelica.
One commendable thing about the ex-couple, though, is how good they are at co-parenting their two kids. They even go for dates, despite being separated!
Amai Zackary Wayan’s Support for the LGBT Community
Amai posted about her support for the LGBT community, that is, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender, on social media. She was met with criticism all over, from both her and her father’s fans.
When Marlon could no longer bear the insults hurled at his daughter, he took to the comment section to say that he supported her. Whatever her preferences are, he will always be there for her, and it is not upon them to judge.
Over and above that, Marlon went on to post Ami Zackary’s photos in shoes whose outsole was the LGBT rainbow logo. He added how much he loved her and that he would stand with her regardless of her decisions.
When people told Marlon that Amai was still too young to make such decisions and that he was supposed to guide her, he said she was already 19 years of age. Besides, she had the freedom to decide her sexual preference for as long as she wished. If she wanted to change later in life, it would be up to her to decide.
In an interview, Marlon said that his daughter first opened up about her sexual preferences when she was 14. She had come to him with lines from Katy Perry’s song I kissed a girl, and I liked it.
School and Career
Amai Zackary is only 20 and still on campus. Marlon posted back in 2018 that his daughter went to the University of Southern California. She doesn’t have a job, at least yet.
Net Worth
Since she has no job, it is difficult to say how much the little girl is worth. However, it is apparent that she lives a lavish life off her father’s income. Based on his success and prowess in his industry, Marlon is approximated to be worth a minimum of 40 million dollars as of 2020.
