‘Priceless Moment’: Toya Wright Fans Gush Over Her Mommy-and-Me Post With Her 1-Year-Old Daughter

“T.I. & Tiny: Friends & Family Hustle” star Toya Wright and her toddler Reign Rushing are leaving social media users swooning.

The mommy-and-me duo showed off their rainbow color-coordinated outfits this week, giving folks a glimpse of their “swag.” Wright took to Instagram on Thursday and posted a photo of her and her 1-year-old seemingly taking a stroll down a sidewalk.

The mother of two was photographed wearing a striped neon-yellow, orange, blue and pink crocheted dress with lime-green sneakers and a hot pink purse. Baby Reign sported a pink rainbow-adorned dress with a matching purse and socks. Her two braided puffs were also decorated with pink hairbows.

Wright and her daughter posed together holding hands while seemingly in the middle of an adorable staredown. The 36-year-old wrote in her caption, “Taking my little @reign_beaux on a play date šŸ’•”

Her post accumulated over 135,000 likes and over 600 comments.

“A priceless moment Toyyyya!!!! Reign!!!!! šŸ˜ these have to be the cutest outfits ever”

“You both look nice, I love those outfits! Awww i love the little stairdown so sweet 🄰🄰”

“Reign and that šŸ‘› purse 2 is absolutely adorable šŸ‘šŸŒˆ I see you Girl. Two Cuties”

“Reign beaux is so beautiful I love her style @toyawright and your dress is so cute šŸ’š cutest pic ever ā¤ļø”

Wright welcomed her daughter into the world in February 2018 with her companion Robert Rushing. She’s also the mother of 20-year-old Reginae Carter, whose father is rapper Lil Wayne.

During an interview with Cosmopolitan in a December 2017 article, the mother of two admitted she was extremely protective of her children. Although it’s seemingly impossible to do so, she tried her best to protect them from social media trolls.

“I honestly don’t pay attention to the haters,” she told Cosmopolitan, a few months before the birth of Reign. “UNLESS, someone says something about my daughter, and then Mama Bear kicks in. I don’t care what people say about me, but kids are off limits.”

She also added that she and Carter share an extremely close bond.

“Reginae and I are very close,” Wright said. “I’m not only her mother, but her friend. … The advice I would give to any parent is always be open with your children. We have been very blessed!”

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
