‘Poor Baby’: Fans Voice Concern for Reginae Carter After She’s Spotted Looking ‘Miserable’ With Boyfriend YFN Lucci

Reginae Carter, the daughter of rapper Lil Wayne, apparently has fans worried about her well-being.

The 20-year-old and her off-again, on-again boyfriend YFN Lucci made headlines not too long ago after their back-and-forth social media spat. But it seems all is well between them for the moment after they were recently seen publicly out together.

A video surfaced Tuesday on an Instagram fan page about the couple. Carter and Lucci are shown together, seemingly at a nightclub called Babylon in Miami. The pair is shown standing in the middle of the club, surrounded by a crowd as security apparently is trying to clear a path for them. The “Heartless” rapper had his arm around Carter’s neck as she stands next to him in black sunglasses, clearly fatigued.

Fans noticed the “T.I. & Tiny: Friends and Family Hustle” star’s body language and expressed their concerns.

“Poor baby,” one fan commented underneath the video. “She doesn’t look happy. That happy glow she had prior to them breaking up definitely shows 😩.”

“She looks miserable 🤦🏾‍. Sis look fed tf up,” another added. ” I hope god gets you out of that situation ship and help you see your worth and get you something real #staysingleuntilyouknowitsreal.”

“Yea she definitely doesn’t look right. Something was going on her 💁🏽‍♀️ where is her father and mother in all of this?”

“She do look drugged or something, I hope she’s okay
🙏,” someone else commented. “Get out Nae.”

Other fans jumped to the couple’s defense.

“She’s probably is just tired, ya’ll reading to much in it duh 🙄.”

“How tf can y’all tell wit shades on? Maybe she sleepy Nd ready to go home just relax.”

Fans aren’t the only ones who have voiced their concern about the relationship between Carter, 20, and the 28-year-old Lucci. Carter’s mother Toya Wright also isn’t a fan of her daughter dating the rapper and expressed how she felt about the issue during season 1 of “Family Hustle.”

“I don’t like the age difference,” Wright told her daughter during the show. “I don’t like the fact that he have four kids because I mean, you trying to be stepmom, honey?”

She continued, “You know how I feel about that whole rapper thing. … I dated your dad when I was younger than that and there’s a whole lot that comes with that lifestyle. And that’s the last thing I want or any mother want.”

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.
