‘Hello 21’: Reginae Carter Blows Fans Away With Stunning Birthday Picture

Fans of “Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta” star Reginae Carter were left awestruck when the 21-year-old posted gorgeous photos on Instagram commemorating her milestone.

In the first photo, Carter, whose birthday is Nov. 29, dons a sparkly silver minidress with an open chest, showcasing a matching bralette. To complement the dress, her hair is styled in soft-flowing, face-framing curls, drawing attention to her subtle yet sultry makeup look.

She captioned the photo “Everyday I sparkle, but today I rule #Hello21.”

Aside from the many birthday cake and heart-eyed emojis left beneath the photo, there were numerous comments complimenting the beauty of rapper Lil Wayne’s daughter.

“Happy Dday Beauty!!! Your young self holding it down for the NATURAL BODIES”

“Happy birthday lovely this pic is soooooo cute”

“Looking good LadyBug. Have a wonderful birthday. Live your life like a Rockstar”

In a second jaw-dropping photo, Reginae wears a long and fitted off-the-shoulder red lace dress with a deep V-cut in the front. To her right is a suited man with a director’s clapperboard, and to her left is a second suited man holding a camera.

In theme with the photo, she captioned it “Now it’s time to take 21. Happy Birthday to me.”

“Happy Birthday Nae!! You look absolutely gorgeous”

“Wow NAE u killed it happy bday niece May god bless u wit many many more I lov u keep up the good work”

“Happy 21st Birthday beautiful!!!! You look amazing!! And yessss to that dress!!

To ring in her new year in life, she’s hosting an all-black affair birthday party at Atlanta’s Gold Room. But that’s not all she’s been celebrating.

Just before Thanksgiving, Toya Wright, Reginae’s mother, announced her engagement to entrepreneur Robert Rushing. It’s a union the rising star approves of, as she affectionately captioned a photo of the couple “My mom is my rock and to see her so happy makes my life complete!”

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.
