Reginae Carter Defends Father Lil Wayne Following ‘Tha Carter VI' Backlash
Reginae Carter continues to stand firmly in defense of her father, Lil Wayne, amid recent criticism of his latest album. The budding actress recently addressed backlash over Tha Carter VI during a livestream on Tuesday (June 15), directly responding to a fan who labeled the album 'trash.' Reginae dismissed the criticism, pointing to today's culture of viral TikTok trends and emphasizing her father's lyrical skills. She noted that Weezy's music can be heard beyond social media. 'Tha Carter VI is trash? That's fine, that's what you want to say,' she began to the critic in a social media video. 'This is what I [hate] about you kids The fact that y'all can't get on TikTok and do a little dance for it? That don't mean that it's trash, babe. Okay?' Doubling down on how lyrically influential and deep her father got on this album, she continued, 'My dad was talking real s**t. It's stuff on that album that you can hear in 2K, in games, at f**king malls, at all type of stuff. It's universal, my love. Y'all need to take y'all minds out of the TikTok world and get to the real bag. My dad is a lyricist, babe. My dad really talks s**t. So if you can't understand it, please move in silence like the 'G' in lasagna and get the f**k out of here. Thanks. Now that's my last time.' Reginae has long been a vocal protector of Lil Wayne's legacy, frequently pushing back on social media critics, fellow rappers, and those who've simply underestimated his impact. Back in February, she defended her father's Saturday Night Live 50 performance, reminding critics that while they were 'hating for free,' Wayne was cashing checks. 'Y'all are some d riders! My dad been having fun performing for years!' she stated, following ongoing conversations about why Kendrick Lamar was chosen over Lil Wayne for the 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Show — despite being a New Orleans native. In 2019, she also responded to Kodak Black's disrespectful comments about Lil Wayne, who he called a 'maggot' and said he 'should have died when [he] was a baby.' Upon hearing these comments, Reginae took to Instagram to defend her father's honor by posting a picture of Wayne holding her as a baby, captioning it: 'You new lil rappers need to start giving props and respect to the Goat. My father don't bother nobody. He won't even react to what was said. This man be in his own world so leave him the f**k alone.' Even further back, Reginae publicly criticized Young Thug for naming his album Carter 6, viewing it as an attempt to capitalize on Wayne's legacy. Reginae even clapped back at T.I., who once questioned Lil Wayne's stance on the Black Lives Matter movement. Take a look at her latest defense of Lil Wayne above.

That's fine, that's what you want to say,' she said, before calling out people for judging music based on whether it goes viral.

'My dad was talking real stuff,' she explained, adding that the songs are the kind you might hear in video games, malls, and other public places. In her eyes, that makes the album more meaningful and wide-reaching. Reginae went on to say that people need to get off the internet and stop letting trends decide what's good. She reminded everyone that her pops is a real lyricist who puts thought into his words.
