Both Wright and baby Reign each posed outside with a foot propped up against a wall as they flaunted their swag for the camera.

In May, Wright and baby Reign graced the cover of Kontrol Magazine together for its Mother’s Day edition. The 36-year-old mother discussed the difference between raising her 1-year-old and her eldest daughter, Reginae Carter, 20.

“Things are so different this time around,” Wright told Kontrol. “When I had Reginae I was extremely young and didn’t know the first thing about being a mom. I’m more experienced now.”

The television veteran got pregnant with Carter at the age of 15 and gave birth to her at 16 years old with her the-boyfriend and now-ex-husband, rapper Lil Wayne. Her mother, Anita Johnson, apparently wasn’t as “structured” as Wright when it came to her kids and more lenient compared to Wright’s style of parenting.

“My mother didn’t raise me, but she’s always been a loving mother,” Wright said of her background. “My mom is the free sprit, go-with-the-flow type. I’m a little more structured when it comes to my life and my kids.”

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.
