Reginae Carter turns 20 today, and it’s crazy to think about considering we’ve watched her grow up as the daughter of rapper Lil Wayne and reality personality Toya Wright. Remember when she was this teeny?

Well, sis is absolutely, positively grown now:
She not only looks grown, but she lives a very grown life. She may be the daughter of two very well-known people, but she has made her own lane and received a lot of attention based on her own personality and moves. That includes starring on Growing Up Hip Hop Atlanta, being in a very open and affectionate relationship with rapper YFN Lucci, landing a star role in the Lifetime film Pride and Prejudice: Atlanta, and with her ability to clapback pretty successfully at people who would dare come for her. Yeah, Reginae is grown, grown. She’s been holding her own for some time.
“I feel like I do have a lot of pressure but I don’t let it pressure me, if you know what I mean,” she told BET last year while enrolled at Clark Atlanta (she decided not to go back for sophomore year now). “I feel like people put pressure on me for no reason. They don’t look at me like this little girl growing up, they look at me as Lil Wayne’s daughter and Toya’s daughter growing up. I still make mistakes. I still do things, like I’m growing up. I have to learn from my mistakes. I feel like people think that since you have fame and money, you’re different. They put pressure on me but I don’t give up and I’m a hard worker when I put my mind into something that I really want. So Imma be cool and I have great supporters: my parents.”
