no shade no shame

a phrase used to indicate that a person's actions are nothing to be ashamed of. Used in a reassuring manner towards someone else, or as a statement to justify one's own actions.

Not to be confused with 'no tea no shade,' which usually precedes a subtle insult, 'no shade no shame' is a genuine statement of solidarity with another person's actions, or unapologetic pride in one's own actions.

You workin the pole to feed your three kids? Keep doin you honey, no shade no shame!

Love You Down No Shade

Love you Down no shade as an expression, can be understood from the expression, “throwing shade” which means publicly denouncing an acquaintance or a friend. Hence, no shade means “no offense meant for what I said.” Whilst the phrase “love you down” still showing admiration/empathy to that someone/person.

“Kiara, you could’ve did better on the exam. Love you down no shade.”
