‘Here We Go Again’: Fans Are Not Having It After Reginae Carter Claims YFN Lucci as Her Boyfriend Again

It looks like Reginae Carter and YFN Lucci are ready to give their love another shot. After a late night of partying and celebrating her 22nd birthday, Carter confirmed that Lucci was her boyfriend again.

On Nov. 30, she took to Twitter to thank her man for putting together her birthday party for her. She wrote, “Thank you to my amazing boyfriend ! You did that party!”

The “Everyday We Lit” rapper also shouted out Carter for her birthday by posting a picture of her to his Instagram and writing a caption. He wrote, “HAPPY BDAY FINE ASS GIRL😍😍 @colormenae.”

Carter and Lucci first began dating in early 2018. The on-again, off-again couple broke up for good in 2019 after Carter caught Lucci attending a “Cucumber Party” where women were explicitly using cucumbers on each other. Since the breakup, Carter has spoken out multiple times about her earlier relationship with the 29-year-old and even said, “I feel like he didn’t have respect for me like he did in the beginning.”

This year, Carter and Lucci have been seen hanging out together again, sparking rumors that she was back with him, and earlier this month she confirmed on “The Wendy Williams Show” that they were speaking again. She said, “right now we’re just working on our friendship and we’re creating a deeper bond in the relationship.”

She later added that she is currently focusing on herself and her “relationship with Lucci.”

While Lucci and Carter may be happy that things are moving in the right direction for them, a lot of fans are not.

One person wrote, “Ah shit. Here we go again….”

Someone else said, “She really went back after all them inspirational, self respect quotes and shii.”

A third person typed, “She can do better.”

Some people gave Carter the benefit of the doubt for her decision to go back to her ex-boyfriend.

“She’s only 22 so I won’t say anything…we’ve all been there as long as she’s happy,” said one fan.

Another defended her saying, “I don’t get y’all calling her dumb for GROWING through some of the SAME problems some of you all have probably faced behind closed doors. Let them be….”

It’s been said that the second time around is better than the first time, and hopefully that statement is true for these two lovebirds.

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.
