The then-much-younger Reginae can be seen hanging on to her “Lollipop” rapper dad as he reacts to her causing him to spill … something … that’s in his cup. The pic was just as funny to fans as it was to Reginae, who captioned the post, “I must’ve made him spill the drank 🥴🥴 look how unbothered I am by it.”

Between Wayne’s distraught face and Reginae’s carefree mood, everyone got a good hearty cackle from the pic, which received over 224,000 likes.

“😂😂😂dat n***a havin mixed emotions his drink done fell,” joked one follower.

“Aww this is so cute he do look like gawwddd damn lol,” another laughed.

“Girl you spilt the lean oh hell nahh 😂,” a third clowned.

“He look heartbroken😩,” wrote a fourth.

“Your arms around him was all that matter…,” stated a fifth. “You ain’t give a dam.”

Some keen-eyed fans noticed Birdman’s daughter, Bria Williams, in the background of the image and wanted to know whether she and the 21-year-old Reginae are still friends.

“Where is Bria? Y’all still talk ?” asked a fan.

“awww omg where Bria at!!!???” another wondered.

Reginae has always let it be known how much she loves her dad, but that doesn’t mean she won’t call him out when she disagrees with him. The reality TV star threw some shade her dad’s way when he appeared to agree with remarks 50 Cent made about preferring “exotic” women over Black women.

Although not directly referring to her dad, Carter shared a tweet once the interview began going viral. “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?” she posted.

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.
