‘Is You My Dawg?’: Toya Johnson Shares Cute Video of Her Daughter Reign and Her ‘TT’ Rasheeda Going Back and Forth

Toya Johnson‘s daughter Reign Ryan Rushing, whom she shares with her fiancé Robert “Red” Rushing, is just a bundle of personality.

On Thursday, Oct. 15, the “T.I. & Tiny: Friends and Family Hustle” reality star took to her Instagram account and shared an adorable video of the toddler having the cutest back and forth with “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” reality star Rasheeda Frost.

In the short clip, Rasheeda asked Reign, “Are you my dawg?” the toddler responded, asking the same question, but even louder, “are you my dawg?” while she mimicked Rasheeda’s hand gestures. Rasheeda then told the 2-year-old, “You my favorite dawg.” She adds, “I see you,” as she waved her fingers in motion. Reign replied to her “TT,” “yeah, you my favorite.” However, unable to do the “I see you” hand gesture, she instead opened and closed her hand in a winking motion near her left eye. Toya could be heard in the background laughing hysterically. The clip was viewed over 537,000 times and received over 4,000 comments from fans gushing over the baby girl.

Many fans expressed their wishes to meet the bubbly toddler, including one fan who wrote, “Bruuuuh I wanna be Reigns friend SO bad…she seems way cooler than my current friends 😂😂😂.” Another user commented, “I can’t with this cutie!!! This gurl is too danggone smart and sweet! No is you my dog!”

A third person commented, “Hey reign she is just to cute her sister and mother with a tap of dad in her I love it😂😂😂😂 ❤️❤️❤️.”  “It’s the hand wave at the end for me. And Kirk ass in the back smiling like he bouta go try again for a lil girl,” a fourth person wrote. 

Toya frequently shares funny moments of baby Reign’s antics with her 8.4 million followers. Last month, she shared a video of Reign after she found her playing with makeup. “Looking for Rainbow and look how I found her,” Toya could be heard saying in the clip. Reign then appeared with red lipstick, not only on her lips but all over her face. Fans were left in stitches, including one fan who wrote, “Okay okay… I can see where she was going with it. She got some contouring going on & her lips is poppin 🤣🤣🤣.”

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
