Toya Johnson is bragging on her oldest baby Reginae Carter‘s beauty and fans agree that they may be the baddest mother-daughter duo in the game.

Reginae commented on the post, which received over 240,000 likes, thanking her mom for the love and reminding her where she gets it. “Love you mommy 🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank youuuuu! I get it from my mama !!!!” she wrote.

Fans chimed in to agree with Toya and gush over Reginae.

“She really is!!! She has natural beauty that just oozes out of her pores,” wrote a fan.

“She’s very beautiful,” another stated. “I don’t know how [Lil Wayne] don’t look at you or Nae and think to himself, “wow! Black women are so damn beautiful!” 🙄”

“EVERY PIC NO MAKEUP 🔥😍 SHE REALLY FIRE,” complimented a third.

Toya’s post comes right on the heels of 50 Cent’s controversial remarks about Black women during an interview with Lil Wayne. The “Lollipop” rapper caught heat for his reaction to the comments, as well as for not calling 50 out for his views.

Reginae let her thoughts about the chat be known, posting “I’m black ! I’m beautiful ! I’m enough ! I’m exotic ! I’m amazing ! I’m one of a mf kind !!!! Now where my black beautiful Queens at?”

As for Toya’s post, it’s hard to know for sure if she shared the affirming message to her daughter based on her ex’s conversation, but the timing of the message may be something to consider.

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.
