Blue Them Away: Reginae Carter Fans Go Gaga Over Her Fierce New Hairstyle

Reginae Carter, the eldest daughter of rap icon Lil Wayne, has a new attitude and a daring hair color to match.

The 20-year-old switched up her ombre brown and honey-blond tresses she’s been rocking lately for blue ringlets. Carter took to Instagram on Tuesday and posted a clip of herself dancing to Nicki Minaj‘s remix to Pop Smoke’s song “Welcome to the Party” while twirling her hair.

Carter’s blue ringlets fell just below her bust area and towards the middle of her back. She rocked a chocolate eye shadow and nude lipstick to complement her new hair color and was dressed casually. Clearly feeling her overall look, she wrote in her photo caption, “Ohhhh you killed this color and wig @jasmine.dior ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍😍 @lahluvie on da beattt 🔥”

Her post accumulated over 387,000 views and over a thousand comments from fans who raved over her hair.

“Ouuuu girl this blue is hot 😍😍🔥 you’re so bomb. I wish we could be friends 😩”

” Supah lit 🥶 soooo fyeee 💙 blue is definitely for you sis”

“Omg you wearing the s–t out that blue hair babygirl 💙😍🔥 love u with this hair color!!”

“Yessssss sis u slayed tf outta that wig girl 😍 and I loooovveee that song ❤️ u super poppin sis”

Carter is getting praise now, but she recently was the subject of a stir when fans thought she had reunited with her ex-boyfriend, rapper YFN Lucci last month. It turned out, however, that the person who hopped on stage with the 28-year-old MC was his preschool-age daughter. Fans laughed at themselves as a result of the mix-up.

One fan wrote at the time, “I thought Lucci and Reginae got back together for a min until I realized it was it daughter 😭 “

Another added, “From first glance I was like ‘that’s Reginae’ 🤣 but this was cute tho lil mama lit 🔥”

Since breaking up with the “Heartless” MC, Carter has apparently been “glowing” more than ever. She even bought her first home a few weeks ago and announced the good news on social media, writing, “Today is a big day for me! At the age of 20 years old, I just got the keys to my own house 🤗 I’m a homeowner now 🎊so blessed and thankful!”

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.
