‘Red Is Me’: Toya Johnson’s Fiancé Cracks Fans Up After He Asks Reginae Carter This Question

Toya Johnson’s husband-to-be Robert “Red” Rushing apparently is a comedian.

In the June 1 episode of “T.I. & Tiny: Friends and Family Hustle,” Johnson and Rushing were seen discussing business at their newly purchased home when they received a visit from Johnson’s daughter Reginae Carter, whom she shares with ex-husband and rapper Lil Wayne.

“Mommy, hi. Hi, Red,” Carter greeted the pair. Rushing gave the 21-year-old a side-eye and hilariously asked, “How you get in?” His reaction had social media users in stitches.

“How you get in😂😂. I still walk in my mom house with my key.”

“Nae: ‘Hi Red😃’ Red: “How you get in here🤨” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣”

“Lmao red is me when people just walk in my house 😭😭”

“Nae: Hi Red 😁 Red: How you get in here? 🤨 😂 I can’t wait!! I need a good laugh..I know y’all going to show out!!👏🏾👏🏾”

“I love this season of #FamilyHustle! And I love you and Red! When he asked Nae how she got in? I died laughing!”

Johnson and the 2 Commas clothing brand owner have been dating since 2017 and welcomed their daughter Reign Rushing, 2, in February 2018.

They got engaged last November, and the mother of two announced the news in an Instagram post that read, “Yes! Yes! And Yes! For humbling my spirit, for restoring my faith in love, for raising the bar, for being all of what a man should be. For each of these and more I SAY YES! looking forward to forever with you.

Carter clearly approved of her future stepfather and shared a hearfelt message to her mother and Rushing on their engagement.

“Congrats to my mommy & Red ❤️ true love is rare now a days so when you find it , cherish it ☺️ my mom is my rock and to see her so happy makes my life complete,” the young actress wrote. “Thanks for bringing the light back into our family red ! My mom and I are very overprotective over each other and I’m glad to know you’re there to keep her safe and her heart fulfilled.” She even joked about planning their wedding for a “reasonable price.”

The details of Rushing and Johnson’s soon-to-be union are unknown. However, it’s possible the couple could reveal their wedding date on the current season of “Friends and Family Hustle.”

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.
