Pregnancy Rumors Overshadow Reginae Carter’s Fashion Post After Fans Notice ‘Fuller’ Face

As of lately, fans have been gawking over Reginae Carter‘s thicker frame, but now those compliments are turning into pregnancy rumors after making note of her apparently round face.

People have been speculating for quite some time now that the 20-year-old is pregnant by on-and-off-again boyfriend, rapper YFN Lucci, 27. The bun in the oven rumors were reignited after Carter, the daughter of rapper Lil Wayne, shared a fashion post on Instagram on Thursday.

The post included the “Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta” alum draped in an electrifying orange blazer-dress with her hair and makeup done to the nines. She captioned her beauty shot on Instagram, “I’m the Queen of my own little world 🧡.”

Fans instantly flooded her with compliments on her gorgeous look.

“You are soo beautiful friend ❤️ this definitely your color!”

“That’s your color boo 🍑😍 hair on point looking like a woman with power lol! Absolutely beautiful!”

Others, however, pointed out Carter’s apparent round cheeks and face which they alluded to as pregnancy weight.

“You are sooooooo knocked up! Got to be look at her face its fuller!” one person exclaimed.

Another added, “Ur face getting fat sis are u carrying a lil Lucci 😂😂,” another fan wrote.

A third person commented, “Yuppppp she’s pregnant this the dead give away. Beyoncé cardi both wore these to hide baby bumps and her face is round. U ain’t slick nae.”

Fans defended the reality star by calling speculators “rude af.”

In a recent Instagram Live video from Carter’s social media, her mother Toya Wright shut down all rumors that her daughter was pregnant. While giving relationship advice to her eldest daughter on Live March 5, Wright said, “You don’t need a n-gga in the world for nothing and you damn sure ain’t having no babies.”

She continued, alluding to Lucci’s comment on wanting to get Carter pregnant. “That’s what the boyfriend said on the Internet. He got the game messed up period negative.”

Carter chimed in and said, “Ain’t nobody having a baby it’s cool.”

The “GUHH” star and Lucci have been off-and-on for months since first dating in 2018. The two appear to be back together after the “Everyday We Lit” rapper commented under one of her recent IG photos saying, “You think I’ma just let you leave me girl? We stuck together.”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
