“I’m done dating n–gas with kids . it be the bm/bd love for me keep that s–t away from me lol,” Carter tweeted.

Followers believed she was talking about ex-boyfriend and rapper YFN Lucci, who has three children from a previous relationship.

The “T.I. & Tiny: Friends and Family Hustle” star sparked mixed reactions with her comments. Some fans related to her stance.

“Facts!” said one Twitter user. “It’s called having standards. There’s always someone that can meet someones standards.”

Another added, “Sis I don’t even know why you gave it a chance. But that was nice of you lol. Lucci got like 10 kids”‘

“It really don’t make a difference these days all these n–gas come with some type of problems!!! You just have to know yourself and who your dealing with,” one fan said.

“What Lucci do to you this time? He must of mess with his bm,” someone else wrote.

Meanwhile, Carter’s best friend, Zonnique Pullins, had a PSA for folks who were still linking Carter with Lucci.

Carter, 21, and the “Heartless” rapper, 29, called it quits in August 2019 after she allegedly caught him flirting with other women at an Atlanta cucumber-themed pool party. When Lucci was asked if he regretted going to the infamous party that led to his breakup with Carter, he responded, “I’m me bro’. If you ain’t gon’ like me, I ain’t trying to change or make you f–k with me.”

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.
