Reginae Carter Rebuts New Pregnancy Speculation After Fans Claim ‘Baby Bump’: ‘That’s Every Week’

“T.I. & Tiny: Friends & Family Hustle” actress Reginae Carter let it be known this week for the umpteenth time that she’s not expecting.

Pregnancy speculation first surrounded the 20-year-old reality star earlier this month until her and her mother shut down false reports of her being with child. However, the rumors resurfaced this past weekend after folks claimed she had a bulging belly.

Carter uploaded a fashion post of herself to Instagram Saturday afternoon of herself sporting a neon-green bandeau, matching pumps and a matching snake print pants and blazer set. She fiercely posed for the camera while standing in the middle of a walkway and slightly angled her body.

“You can act bad when you look this good 😏,” she captioned her photo via Instagram.

Nevertheless, the angle of Carter’s body somewhat created what she called a shadow that many fans claimed looked like a pregnancy belly.

“Pregnant asf lmao or u aint doing so good on watch yo weight 🤷🏽‍♀️,” a fan commented.

Another wrote, “She definitely preggo man look at her stomach u can’t tell me it ain’t a baby.”

A third fan chimed in and wrote, “Preggo Asf 😍” to which Carter fired back, “it’s a shadow asf!!”

People have been speculating for quite some time now that Carter is and was pregnant by on-and-off-again boyfriend, rapper YFN Lucci, 27, whom she is said to have recently broken up with. Her mother Toya Wright categorically denied all pregnancy rumors about her daughter in early March.

During an Instagram live video with Carter, she said, “You don’t need a n-gga in the world for nothing, and you damn sure ain’t having no babies.”

Carter replied to her mother, “Ain’t nobody having a baby. It’s cool.”

The baby speculation sparked when Lucci commented underneath a post of Carter’s, writing, “You think I’ma just let you leave me girl? We stuck together.” Many fans took it as the pair having a child on the way, but it seems they were wrong.

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.
