‘Don’t Fall for It’: Reginae Carter Fans Send Warning After She Is Surprised with Thousands of Roses for Her 21st Birthday

If the rumors are true, then Reginae Carter’s ex, rapper YFN Lucci, wants that old thing back.

Lil Wayne’s daughter arrived to her 21st birthday bash on Friday at Atlanta’s Gold Room to find 5,000 red roses on the VIP seating area and covering the floor. According to the Shade Room, none other than old flame YFN Lucci sent the roses.

The former “Growing Up Hip Hop Atlanta” cast mate and the rapper behind the hit song “Everyday We Lit” split in early August. The on-again, off-again pair committed a series of social media blunders, including Reginae sneaking into a “cucumber” pool party to spy on her beau.

It was a relationship that several fans of the “Pride and Prejudice” actress called foul on. S, when the duo officially went their separate ways it was a relief for the then-20-year-old and her following.

With rumors circulating the rapper may have been attempting to woo his ex back, Reginae’s followers went off in the comments.

“Please don’t fall for it Reginae…NO 😩💯!!”

“That’s cute but money don’t buy respect!!! Stay strong Reg”

“That boy needs to leave her alone”

The rapper, who is viewed as problematic at best by Reginae’s following, seemingly attempted to show off a new boo following the split. Again, like a swarm of bees, Reginae’s fans got the rapper together.

“Who cares. HE BELONGS TO THE STREETS … She can have him.”

“She is definitely in the d league…… my A list sis is pass this foolish 💅🏾. Glad reginae left him.”

Whether the flowers were sent by the rapper remains a mystery, but what is known is that Reginae has been focused on her glow-up since being single.

The now 21-year-old purchased her first home and continues to pad her account with Fashion Nova and Teami Blends deals.

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.
