Tammy Rivera and her daughter Charlie Rivera are confusing people once again with their lookalike appearances.

On Wednesday, July 22, the former “Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta” star took to Instagram and shared a throwback picture of herself from 2012. She reflected on her looks in the picture and expressed how disappointed she was with her eyebrows.

“Looking at old pictures from 2012 and I just have one question… WHERE TF WAS MY FRIENDS?! Why y’all let my ass draw these damn triangles on my face?? I  NEED ANSWERS?!!!! 😡,” Rivera joked.

Rivera’s husband, rapper Waka Flocka, said he thought his wife looked beautiful in the image, adding, “I thought it was cute 🥴.”

While some fans continued to laugh at Rivera’s post, others mentioned how much her daughter Charlie resembled her.

“Your Charlie’s twin 😍,” an IG user commented. “Your daughter looks just like you on this picture. I had to do a double take,” a different fan said.

One person accused the 15-year-old of stealing Rivera’s “whole face.” Another person added, “I thought this was Charlie omg Omggg you look like Charlie she is your twin in this pic 😩.”

Rivera celebrated her daughter’s 15th birthday last month with a heartfelt birthday post that nearly left fans in tears.

The reality star posted a series of adorable throwback pics of her daughter from when she was a small child. She reflected on the photos and called Charlie her “biggest accomplishment in life.”

“15 WOW I would’ve never imagined you would grow up to be this Beautiful, Loving, Smart, Caring, Giving, Unique, carefree, creative, spontaneous amazing young lady!” Rivera wrote on June 30. “I thank God for you everyday! You are my biggest most proudest accomplishment in Life nothing can ever top you baby girl! Y’all wish y’all Instagram niece a HAPPY 15th BIRTHDAY! I know y’all feel like y’all watched her grow up right before y’all eyes just like i did lol! @tammiesangel I LOVE YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING OR ANYONE IN THIS ENTIRE WORLD!!”

IG users gushed over the star’s sweet post to her daughter, deeming Rivera an “amazing mother.”

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.
