Reginae Carter is apparently over naysayers criticizing her every move on social media.

The 21-year-old actress took to Instagram on Monday, May 4, and posted a TikTok video that highlighted her gyrating skills. She blasted her friend Zonnique Pullins‘ new single “FTCU” and began twerking in front of the camera in her pajamas shorts.

“My friennn @zonniquejailee just dropped two singles on y’all boys !! Go cop 🥳 I had to bring my New Orleans out real quick , just for you nique 🥰🥰 #FTCU #winner,” Carter wrote in her caption.

Although Carter received over 887,000 views on her TikTok video, a few fans criticized her actions. One person even suggested Carter was a hypocrite after she publicly slammed ex-boyfriend YFN Lucci for posting other women twerking on Instagram.

“For u to not want a “man” who doesn’t post girls shaking they a– (rather it’s for money purposes or not) you sure be on here shaking your a– a lot 🥴,” the person wrote.

Carter clarified her statement she made about the “Heartless” rapper a few weeks ago and fired back, “Baby I said naked and honestly … I’m single .. I have no nigga to respect . I’m on my savage time rn . Leave me alone . This is actually a clean version of my twerking 🤦🏽‍♀️”

Fans agreed with the young star.

“She didn’t say women were wrong for twerking. She said her man should respect her & their relationship enough not to be posting other women. 2 completely different things 🙄”

“Righht Nae! Like Meg said it’s 2020 I ain’t finna argue bout twerking”

“Leave reginae alone. She young and having fun.she aint doing nothing none of these other girls aint doing.”

The young actress’ post comes a few weeks after her ex-boyfriend spoke out about the infamous cucumber party that led to their breakup.

In an interview with Fly Guy DC last month, Lucci said he didn’t regret going to the party. The rapper noted, “I’m me, bro’. If you ain’t gon’ like me, I ain’t trying to change or make you f–k with me.”

As for Lucci posting different women twerking on his page, Carter said in a recent IG live that his actions were disrespectful.

“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–,” she noted. “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.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
