Lil Wayne’s daughter has effectively paved a way for herself and is living her best life despite critics. Reginae Carter has slimmed down and booed up lately but fans have taken issue with the circumstances surrounding these life changes.

Now, Carter is hitting back and calling the naysayers what they are: haters.

“The haters, you’re whack,” she said on Instagram Live Wednesday, June 20. “My mama probably gon’ be mad at me — a lot of people gon’ be mad at me for doin’ this but I’ma speak my mind ’cause that’s one thing I always do. I speak my mind. And y’all whack.”

The “Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta” star has been criticized for her relationship with her much older boyfriend, rapper YFN Lucci and the method by which she dropped her extra pounds.

After 19-year-old Carter went public with dating 27-year-old YFN, social media erupted in criticism.

“Hold on YFN Lucci and Reginae????? That man is pushing 30 and he’s sexing a young babe? And Lil Wayne hasn’t killed him yet? What a wow.”

“Aye @YFNLUCCI on his R. Kelly s— #PaptingAFool.”

“YFN Lucci a whole ass weirdo and if u don’t see anything wrong with that u probably a predator too.”

And since touting Flat Tummy appetite suppressing lollipops on IG, Carter has seen blowback from that, too.

“Not you too. Honestly expect better from you. Appetite suppressant lollipops create a culture where we think it’s okay to starve ourselves and I refuse to promote or support that.”

“Stop scamming sis! A damn lollipop don’t make your tummy flat.”

But in response to Carter’s comeback, the star had lots of support.

“Y’all really grown as hell hating on a 19 yr old . Lame as the f—.”

“Damn YALL BIG MAD 😂😂😂!!! in these comments.. shut up and mind ya business.”

“Beautiful Nae!! People so mean and cruel.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
