‘Y’all Relax’: Reginae Carter Fans Jump to Her Defense After Folks Claim She’s Wearing Ex YFN Lucci’s Necklace

Supporters of Reginae Carter aren’t tolerating people stirring up drama between her and her ex-boyfriend, rapper YFN Lucci.

The 21-year-old young actress took to Instagram on Thursday and uploaded a natural beauty and fashion photo of herself taken outdoors. In the image, Carter posed makeup-free in her burgundy curve-hugging jumpsuit and $1590 multi-colored Gucci sneakers.

She accessorized her look with a Gucci fanny pack and a large double-R pendant crafted by an Atlanta jeweler. Carter captioned her post “I took the lead and let everyone follow 😏.”

Although folks gawked over Carter’s appearance, fans instantly turned their attention to her chain. They apparently mistook the necklace for Lucci’s chain she used to wear.

“Oh I peeped the chain sis 😍😍”

“Is that Lucci’s chain? 👀”

“Oh I see the RR necklace is back 😕. So we back with ol boy I see? #gook”

Fans quickly jumped to Carter’s defense and set the record straight.

“Ya’ll relax it’s her and her sister’s initials,” one person said.

Another commented, “No it’s not Lucci’s necklace she been had it.”

According to a July 2018 post from Carter’s official Instagram page, she and her mother Toya Wright bought matching RR necklaces to represent her name and her baby sister Reign Rushing.

“Thank you @mrchrisdajeweler for making my mom and I matching chains 😍😍 love it 🤗 #doubleR #Reginae&Reign,” the television personality wrote at the time.

Carter and the “Heartless” rapper called their relationship quits last summer after she allegedly caught him engaging with other women at a cucumber-themed swim party. She announced via Twitter that she and Lucci were over for good.

“Tbh, I’ve made myself look like a fool for this man and I apologize for allowing you guys to see it,” she wrote at the time. “I was loosing myself but baby I promise imma FIND ME again.”

Carter and Lucci began dating in 2017. The former couple had a controversial relationship due to the rapper being eight years her senior.

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.
