It looks like Reginae Carter and her ex-boyfriend YFN Lucci both had some things to get off their chests about their breakup last year.

Carter, 21, called it quits with the “Heartless” rapper, 29, after he attended the controversial cucumber-themed pool party in Atlanta last August. Since the new season of “T.I. & Tiny: Friends & Family Hustle,” Carter has spoken openly about their past off-and-on romance and her relationship concerns.

In an Instagram live sit-down on Tuesday, April 21, with radio personality Fly Guy DC, Lucci addressed his ex-girlfriend’s comments on the show, saying that he didn’t regret going to infamous cucumber party that led to their breakup.

“I’m me, bro’. If you ain’t gon’ like me, I ain’t trying to change or make you f–k with me,” Lucci said.

He added that their eight-year age difference may have played a role in their breakup but doubled down by saying there’s a lot of “young folks” who are mature. He also said “everybody ain’t the same.” When asked if he felt like he had a responsibility to portray a different image due to Carter’s father being Lil Wayne, Lucci answered, “Hell naw.”

Carter and her “Friends and Family Hustle” co-star Shekinah Anderson hopped on Live together earlier that day, where they spoke about relationships. The young actress told Anderson she’d never date another rapper despite who her father is.

“I don’t care how old I get or how young I am, I will never allow no man to post a girl shaking they a–,” said Carter. “I don’t care if she’s shaking it to your music. It’s a respect thing. Maybe that’s just not me. Maybe that’s just not my crowd. But I will never be cool with no man going to no party with no hecka naked girls shoving cucumbers anywhere.”

She then went on to say, “I will never date a rapper again. I learned my lesson.”

Several users reacted to both Carter and Lucci’s videos.

“LMFAOO this man wanna discuss this now? Reginae was speaking facts & her opinion on her live earlier about this. Bye Waldo 🙄”

“He never had respect for her and it shows. I’m glad she left him”

“I think Reginae hit it dead on the head when she said, “Maybe that’s just not me.” He’s a rapper. He has to stay relevant to his crowd by doing that type of stuff. She’s a young woman and realized she didn’t want a relationship like that. It’s called growth. Good luck to them both.”

“He sounds hurt… also this is shocking coming from a man with 2 daughters. Sometimes classy and hood won’t mix ..”

“Age difference played a role but she was the more mature on in the relationship. 🤔”

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
