Reginae Carter Turns Up at Her Mom’s Birthday Party Rapping Dad Lil Wayne’s Lyrics

Reginae Carter is reminding folks whose daughter she is. On Oct. 26, she attended her mother Toya Johnson’s birthday party, where she rapped along to a few of her father Lil Wayne’s songs.

On a video posted to social media, Reginae is wearing an all-black jumpsuit while spittin’ her dad’s verse on Drake’s song “HYFR.” Holding a pink mic, she raps the lyrics “They say love is in in the air, so I, hold my breath til my face turns purple. Keep a few bad b-tches in my circle. My n-ts hang like there’s no curfew.”

Her Instagram Story reveals that she later sang along to Lil Wayne’s 2008 hit “Mrs. Officer,” as well as his verse on the 2014 song “Pop That” by French Montana.

Reginae’s singalong was a part of Toya’s karaoke night that she had with her friends to celebrate her 37th birthday. The birthday girl wore a tan long-sleeved shirt with orange lettering on the back, black shorts, and black knee-high boots. Unsurprisingly, Toya’s fiancé, Robert “Red” Rushing, was in attendance, as well as a few of her friends, like L.A. Lakers role player Dwight Howard and her longtime friends Tiny and T.I.

Earlier that day Reginae took time to give her mom a birthday shoutout on Instagram.

She posted a picture of herself and her mom and under it she wrote, “Happy birthday to my mom ❤️ I love you so much😫🥰 I wanna thank you for teaching me class and self respect ! Thank you for Loving me so much that I learned to love myself more !”

She continued, “Thank you for not judging me ,no matter what ! You’re a queen and you should be treated as such today and everyday 💋 enjoy your day Ma🎉 Thank you for everything ❤️ I’d choose you everytime Antonia 😌 #thebesttoeverdoit 🤷🏾‍♀️👑❤️.”

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.
