‘I Love How She Turn Up When Her Daddy Come On’: Reginae Carter’s Fans Are Taken Aback By Her Dancing Skills 

Reginae Carter took to Instagram on March 5, to flaunt her twerking abilities as she attended the bridal shower for her mother, Toya Johnson. Johnson is currently engaged to sports manager Robert “Red” Rushing.

In the post, Carter, who wore a ruffled cut-out red dress donned with white-and-black polka dot heels, was seen twerking to her father Lil Wayne’s verse on Juvenile’s 1998 hit “Back That A– Up.”

As fans viewed her upload, many brought up how much they loved seeing the 23-year-old dancing along to her father’s verse and always representing him — whether through rapping his lyrics or dancing to his music — every moment she gets.

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.
