Celebrity Dusty Dads Series: Is Wanya Morris of Boyz to Men a Dusty?!?!

Wanya Morris's sons who are all named after him are signed to Mary J Blige's label. She's pushing their group, WanMor. He has seemingly distanced himself since getting married. Is he pulling a Brian McKnight? 🙃

[@NoNameHere88]

I've noticed that men's interest in their children directly correlates to their relationship status to their mothers. If they aren't romantically involved then they won't be present. It's terrible.

[@misslola007]

I have noticed that for a long time. Just like the saying goes "mommy's baby, daddy's maybe." We have similar phrase in my mother tongue.

[@ayemad]

Absolutely. They actually released some stats that showed that men are more likely to abandon their kids when they remarry.

[@notimportant914]

My nana used to tell me this. She'd say "A man loves the children of the woman he loves, whether they're his or not." I didn't understand then, but I get it now.

[@l.b.5187]

Going through this now. Was married for 14 years and now my ex acts like he forgot that we share 3 children. Ridiculous. Smdh.😮😮

[@notimportant914]

@l.b.5187 I'm so sorry for the babies. They don't understand why things have changed and it's so unfair. I was married to and with my ex for 23 years. When I left, he told the kids he'd just make new ones and I could keep them. 😞

I know this isnt the main focal point but lets normalize not letting the xy's completely take over naming the kids. They can get a vote but if you carried and pushed them out, you have the final word. And am I tripping or does it seem like the ones who act weird when naming the kids are the same ones who turn around and Not do their part to take care of and raise those kids??

[@aprilfox9205]

Not sure why people are so surprised, my dad dumped all four of his daughters and moved states to live with his affair partner. Went on to have 2 sons with her. Not to mention my half-sister that is the same age as my youngest sister. My mom and her mom were pregnant at the same time.🙄smfh

[@1991-present]

In a vlog that the boys filmed a few years ago.. the oldest credited their success to his mother and mother only, he made sure to be clear about that

[@kimleemoon]

I have always been a Boyz II Men fan, but Wanya was cheating on his wife and hadn’t been involved in his kids life for a while. He basically abandoned her with 5 kids even before the divorce. He was in L.A. & she was in Philly

[@1991-present]

Six kids.

[@mudeasno1baby73]

*6

[@aaliyahsswoop6706]

8 kids- Benee, Anya, The 4 waNya's,Shayla, Niko, Anella.😮

[@jaricej]

⁠@@aaliyahsswoop6706who’s is Benee? He posted Niko’s pictures a few times but now deleted. I follow all of them and I remember when Wanye posted the video of him surprising his wife, Tracy at the beach with flowers. Then next thing i know he was posting the current wife not even a month later.

[@kylia2009]

I'm not a fan of naming kids after their parents (ie Jr. 's, II, III). Kids are NOT just extensions of their parents and should have their own identity

[@ayemad]

I hate it with a passion. It’s giving narcissism.

[@tashibalampkin8555]

I can see what you're coming from.

[@jerzeelicious]

My ex husband is the 5th. He was super pissed that I wouldn't name our son after to him. Why in all hell do I want my son to be named the 6th?? Is y'all name the only in the freaking world? But I forgot, his family esp the men are straight narcissistic cornballs😂

[@HolisticManifesting]

Sometimes it's just a lack of creativity. ❤

[@vkat9762]

Those are the men fixated on "my legacy" when all they did was pump, dump and abandon. Baby making is just kink fulfillment for many of these men and the names just mark that accomplishment. Women need to get smarter and reclaim naming their children.

[@Mochafairiemonster]

Considering how everyone who worked with BIIM said they acted like buttholes after success I’m not surprised. If you gone spit in the faces of folks that helped you find success it’s nothing to throw away your whole family.

[@kayshawnsimmons5585]

These high value Pookie and Ray Ray's are being exposed and Im here for it. These are the worst dad ever

[@AkiLouverture]

The comment about Mr Neck Roll took me out!😂😂😂

[@Soiea793]

It makes sense now. When Mary posted them. Darkchild (the producer) , commented “send them to me, I have something for them”. I was wondering why he wouldn’t just call their dad and set something up (or vice-versa)🧐

[@BurbNBougie]

Yoooo!!

[@mudeasno1baby73]

Probably because it would be looked at as them riding his coattails, so to prevent that, they and their management have to reach out to the producers themselves

[@nooneinparticular4895]

Actually, one of those boys is an outside baby that he had on his wife. She just claims him as a "bonus son". He's the taller, lighter one - Wanya III . ☕️

[@DianaPrinceitiswhatitis]

he has always been all about himself and been cheating since Boyz II Men came out. He is showing his sons how to treat women.

[@luthorforpresident9353]

He also dated Brandy when she was 16 and he was 24!!! And he cheated with Adina Howard and Brandy was sad about it! It was one of the reasons Howard lost her record deal! (Brandy was on the same label and was a cash cow. They knew about Wanya and blamed Adina.)

From what I am seeing on Instagram, it seem like Traci is getting the last laugh because she's managing them, they're signed to MJB record label, blowing up and went viral a few time.

[@devonwilliams3886]

The mom is the force behind them. The oldest son has always said that his mom is the one who got them started and supports them. I think boys 2 nen has let them sing at one of their shows, but they were babies. He has not promoted them.

[@J0knows]

Okay, I will say it shot clock is up on his 2nd marriage the moment he gets a blonde and blue woman he will ditch his 2nd wife faster than he ditched his 1st wife. If a guy will cheat with you he will cheat on you FR FR. Hopefully, wife number 2 has cashed a few checks before her replacement Kylee comes in at any moment and you'll know the replacement will be only 23 and he is almost 60 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♀️🙄

And not much digging but the post he has pinned on Instagram of him and his 2nd wife…he stated “ 6 years ago, around this time, the blessing found me…” and he posted that in 2020…so this has been going on since 2014. I have a feeling Traci didn’t know. And it’s sad because Traci still have photos of them together with and without the kids on her page. I would’ve deleted my whole social media and start fresh. God bless her and the kids. She a real one for sure💪🏽❤️

[@mudeasno1baby73]

This is so not fair to those boys. Yes, Wanya is a mess, but all this pointless drama is taking away the shine from them. They are the innocent parties in this, and they deserve to have what they have going on vs what's going on with their parents and stepmom.

As dusty as the Sierra Desert, the only member of BIIM I’ve seen work with them is Nate. These young men can sing but Anya the oldest daughter has some serious pipes. She reportedly does not want to be in the music industry as stated by one of her brothers.

[@KP82457]

Yep, and Shawn sends them uplifting messages on Instagram sometimes. But I haven't seen anything from their father.Except for the graduation post that he was late posting. It seems that he only put it on his page after fans started leaving him messages asking why he hadn't congratulated his children. Smh.

[@theplushking1135]

I side eyed him when he had that singing competition on Instagram. No record label, yet he is looking for talent, and did it around the time his kids were getting public noticed. He drew in a lot of people and I don't know how they didn't have discernment to see what he was going.

Well i hope they're going to as big or bigger than b2m. They already sound as good as b2m was in their prime. Can only imagine what they'll accomplish when they're older. If Wanya is doing the Brian Mcknight move..he will sure live to regret not being part of their legacy when his boys blow up big time.

[@littleknome7444]

Looks like a Brian McKnight to me!!

[@TheShadeTreeNetwork]

Something in me (call it women's intuition, spirit coming through, etc) is saying that Wanya's separation from his kids is more on the part of Mom Traci and their 6 kids than it is Wanya the 1st. I am inclined to agree with that assessment since it's likely that Wanya was unfaithful to their mom with their new stepmother, so they're siding with Traci. Also, they may want to make it in the music industry on their own terms and merit, not via the nepotismistic influence/presence of their dad and "uncles." Now it may hurt their stardom factor where promotion is concerned, but I respect their principles if that's their truth.

[@SunMoonRising06]

I don't blame them for ostracizing him and taking Traci's side, he was parading that woman all over social media while he was married to their mom and they were able to see it.

[@TheOriginalScorpioBelle]

I wound say instead of all of these alleged this and alleged that. Why not ask Wanyà himself. I met the man in person, and he is a dope individual. Could it not be that he love and misses his children dearly and the mother is not making the allowance for some reason 😱? Or maybe she has a legitimate reason? Why not ask him and ask her. Not everything about celebrity loves need to be posted. Also it has been some time but I’ve seen videos where Nathan Morris was working with the children in a studio. So they didn’t learn everything from just mom who you’ll are saying did all the work. Before calling someone a dusty dad, so the research and the work and it’s best to talk to the individuals involved. Wanyà is easily accessible these days, he walks around Las Vegas with no security ffs, this isn’t the 90s. And his wife Amber is another amazing individual and fun to be around.

I don't think Wanya is a dusty dad. I've been a fan of Boyz II Men for over 30 years. As a millenia, I've seen videos of those kids on sets, interviews, and of him and the group teaching those kids how to sing. All these kids are just fine. He is letting Wanmor promote themselves. They don't need his backing. I'm pretty he'll be at a number of their shows. He can be about his own life if he wants to. I'm pretty sure it's mutually agreed from both parents.
