Reginae Carter came out swinging on Sunday (June 15) with a passionate Instagram video defending her father, Lil Wayne and his latest album, Tha Carter VI, from online critics who dismissed it as “trash.”
“You say ‘Carter VI’ is trash. That’s fine. That’s what you want to say,” she began. “But let me tell you something about my father and ‘Carter VI.’ This is what I hate about you, kids. The fact that y’all can’t get on TikTok and do a f###### dance to it, that don’t mean that it’s trash, babes.”
The 25-year-old influencer and actress didn’t hold back as she called out what she sees as a shallow way of judging music based on social media trends. She made it clear that her father’s work isn’t built for TikTok—it’s built to last.
“My dad was talking real s###. It’s stuff on that album that you can hear in 2K, in games, at f###### malls, at all types of stuff. It’s universal, my love.”
She doubled down on Lil Wayne’s lyrical skill, reminding critics that his pen game is still sharp.
“Y’all need to take y’all minds out of the TikTok world and get to the real bag where it is. My dad is a lyricist, babe. My dad really talks s###.”
To wrap her message, Reginae dropped one of her dad’s most quoted lines from Wayne’s “6 Foot 7 Foot,” adding her own twist: “So if you can’t understand it, please move in silence like the ‘G’ in lasagna and get the f### out of here. Thanks.”
