‘Which Is Worse?’: YFN Lucci Hits Back at Girlfriend Reginae Carter After She Calls Him a ‘Clown’

It looks like Reginae Carter, the daughter of rapper Lil Wayne, and her boyfriend, rapper YFN Lucci, are back on the outs once again.

The couple’s seemingly already tumultous relationship became a lot more complicated after the 20-year-old reality star caught her boyfriend leaving an upside down happy face emoji under an provocative video posted on Instagram by rapper Lil Boosie. The clip showed a woman suggestively gesturing with a cucumber in her mouth.

Although Lucci, 28, only left an emoji, it was more than enough for Carter to fire off on him, replying to his remark, “You a clown.”

Their social media spat has since escalated to the reality star unfollowing him on Instagram and to Lucci taking to Twitter with his relationship problems.

“Which is worse me commenting or me getting in her dm tyrna get some of dat s–t huh?” he tweeted in a now-deleted message, referring to the unidentified girl in the video as he hit back at his girlfriend.

Carter hasn’t responded to any of the “Never Change” rapper tweets, but she has deleted all traces of him from her social media page along with unfollowing him. Her last tweet, which was posted a day before the video incident, read, “Don’t know what I’m capable of .. Might f**k around & go crazy on cuhh.” From the looks of it, Lucci seemed to already be skating on thin ice in their relatioship.

Nevertheless, social media users have had mixed reactions to their relationship drama.

“Embarrassing tf outta her. He know she would’ve probably seen it but do he care ?? No sis he don’t leave him 😩.”

“I’m confused on what he do 😂 it’s not that deep all he did was put an emoji.”

“And what are you? Apart of the circus bc you’re going to stay with him, bye girl 😒.”

“@yfnlucci #blackmendontcheat. But you cheating this is disrespectful. You know better !!! He’s disgusting Reginae deserves better.”

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.
