‘U Looking Goodt’: Dressed to the nines, Toya Wright Sends Fans Over the Edge

All of Atlanta’s socialites and music royalty showed up dressed to the nines for a Showtime holiday boxing match at downtown Atlanta’s State Farm Arena Dec. 28.

Everyone from Monica, Kandi Burruss, Tameka “Tiny” Harris, and Love and Hip Hop Atlanta” star Rasheeda was in attendance, but it was New Orleans-born-and-raised Toya Wright’s subtle beauty and presence that had fans doing a double take.

Wright put on her gold YSL knee-high boots, a fitted dress with sheer long sleeves, a multi-colored Gorki luxury vest, and hit the streets with a Hermes bag in tow.

The forever-beautiful mother of two rocked her long black tresses with a simple middle part, and still she had fans swooning over her flawless appearance.

“You so fly 😍😍”

“Yes mf ma’am 😍”

“U is sharp woman 😍 U looking goodt 😍”

The “T.I. & Tiny: Friends & Family Hustle” cast mate isn’t new to shutting down the internet with her style and good looks. However, since welcoming her and fiancé Robert “Red” Rushing’s daughter Reign in February 2018, the beauty has been showcasing a slimmer and fitter figure.

Aside from returning to her pre-baby body, she’s been motivated to maintain her snatched figure as her third wedding date approaches. The soon-to-be bride posted before-and-after photos to Instagram along with the caption “I think I’m going to be “right right” sooner than I thought for my wedding!”

The 35-year-old recently dropped ex-husband Mickey “Memphitz” Wright’s last name to return to her maiden name, Johnson, further proving that as she moves into the new year and prepares for her new married life, she’s not taking any old relationship baggage with her.

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.
