The developing actress and fashionista was seen recording herself while she and her father were in an elevator on their way to get food.

“We’re about to get some food.” Reginae shared as she moved her hair around a bit. 

As the elevator began to ding, she called out, “Daddy, one second.” Bringing him in close, Lil Wayne appeared in the video with a confused look on his face. 

Once he realized his daughter was talking about him, the two joined in simultaneous laughter. 

“Tell them how much you love me.” Reginae continued to ask her father. 

Joking about his initial reaction, the Grammy Award-winning rapper responded, “More than whoever she thought, I thought she was talking about.” 

The TikTok video reached over 1.1 million views and had over 800 shares. Fans couldn’t get enough of the comical video. 

“His face said it all [laughing emoji] Say less”

“Lmao his face said ‘I’m the only daddy around here’” 

“I’ve never seen him look that serious lmao”

Many fans also noted how adorable the daddy-daughter duo is and admired their seemingly close-knit relationship. 

“Best father, daughter duo. Love the both of them”

“I love how close they are! So lovely”

“I love their relationship you know he loves his baby and she loves her daddy.”

Reginae is Lil Wayne’s first child out of four. It’s obvious how much respect Reginae has for her father due to her constantly uploading photos of them together where she expresses her love for him. 

The most recent photo that was shared on her page of the two was a Father’s Day post that received nearly 63,000 likes on Instagram.

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.
