‘She Tryin to Teach Us’: Reginae Carter Drops Her Phone, Screams ‘No, No’ After Grandma’s Seductive Dance Moves on IG Live

Posted byBy Nicole Duncan-Smith | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Reginae Carter, one of hip-hop’s princesses, learned the hard way that just because there is snow on the roof that doesn’t mean there is no fire in the furnace.

While hanging on Instagram Live and casually listening to SexyyRed and Tay Keith’s “Pound Town,” Reginae’s grandmother Nita pops on the screen with a half-eaten sausage near her mouth. Within a split second of Granny bopping to the infectious beat of the song, she makes a raunchy comment, remixing the vulgar lyrics of the popular song.

Reginae, the daughter of Grammy Award-winning artist Lil Wayne and reality star Toya Wright, squealed “No, no, no, no,” in disbelief before ending the video.

Though only seconds, the embarrassing clip was captured and shared on social media.

Many saw Grandma Nita, Wright’s mother, just wanted to have fun and assured the former Clark Atlanta University student that she has the right to act out a little.

“Ayeeee granny know what time it is she been here longer let her live!!!!” wrote one person.

“I love a ratchet granny,” another added. While one more declared, “These grandmas be a vibe fr.”

Some of those who watched the video said they could learn some things from the senior.

“She tryin to teach us” a commenter said. One thing a fan said she is teaching us is not to care what people say about her.

“Dawg I love her. She be having me in TEARS!!!!! She’s so unfiltered and free,” she said.

Even with all of the celebration of Ms. Nita, many understood the terror of having your grandma being so “blue.”

One person left a message from Nita, writing, “U know reginae don’t play that grandma.”

Reginae is not just wasting time on social media listening to her favorite rap songs. Nor is she basking in her celebrity parents’ shadow. With the obvious alley-oop she received as a nepo-baby, she has garnered her own fan base, which includes 7 million Instagram followers.

The pint-sized businesswoman has made her popularity into a lucrative operation, helping her achieve an estimated net worth of $2 million.

She currently has deals with Fashion Nova apparel and What Waist waist-trainers. This is on top of her music career and the multiple reality shows she has appeared in over her 24 years.

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.
