Did Reginae Carter and YFN Lucci Break up?

Reginae Carter‘s fans notice that she has scrubbed her Instagram of pictures with her rapper boo YFN Lucci. Carter made a post earlier this week on Instagram rocking a silk textured dress, knee-high boots and a fun curly bob. The caption of her photo said, “It’s absolute, I’m back reboot.” Some fans took the “I’m back” to signify she’s no longer with Lucci.

Carter’s fans quickly filled the comments after noticing pictures of her boyfriend were removed.

“Congrats on your break up with Lucci. He’s very young minded for the age he is and all those kids he has and 2 of them aren’t even at least 1. You need to be single and focus on yourself.”

“It impossible to make a n*gga stop messing wit his bm. You still bomb just level up sis.”

“I think he used her to come up a little on the fame side… he wasn’t that major before she started f*ckin w/ him!”

Carter’s relationship with Lucci has been criticized since the beginning. Critics believed the 28-year-old rapper was too old for the celebrity teen. They were trashed earlier this month after wearing matching outfits. “Must went to a nerd party , cuz u look goofy af 👎🏾,” one fan said.

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.
