Noah Lyless nail painting goes VIRAL after NBA legend Dwyane Wade riles up haters

Noah Lyles is currently the fastest man in the world. He won gold medal in the men’s 100m race becoming the first American male to do so in 20 years. Yet, people talked about his painted nails while Dwyane Wade riled up the haters.

After the win, the Olympic Games posted a picture of him on X that displayed his painted nails. Noah Lyles got ‘Icon’ painted on his nails at the Opening Ceremony. Dwyane Wade gave his congratulations to the Olympian by reposting the picture. With that, he practically dared his followers to say something on Lyles’ painted nails.

Soon after, his tweet caught fire on the internet. He then took to Instagram and posted on his story that the comments were only waking the petty side of him. For the past several years, Dwyane Wade has been scrutinized for wearing nail polish. However, the Miami Heat star did not pay attention to the criticism, as he was busy developing his personal style. But the self-proclaimed critics continued to focus on him and everything else they didn’t like.

Noah Lyles revealed that his inspiration for the painted nails came from anime. The characters serve as his muse. Lyles credited Naruto’s Itachi Uchiha for inspiring him to have red and black nails.

Criticism over painted nails amused Noah Lyles

Noah Lyles became the fastest man on the Earth by a margin of 0.005 seconds. At the Opening Ceremony, he also painted his nails, which garnered more attention than his victory. Despite the criticism, he remained nonchalant about the hate.

In an interview, he mentioned that he understood the various reasons people might have different opinions. He further explained that he was confident in himself and that the comments didn’t really affect him.

Noah Lyles admitted that people who hadn’t met him often considered him cocky. However, he believes he is simply confident and doesn’t blame anyone for thinking otherwise. He is content with himself and doesn’t pay much heed to the criticism.
