While speaking to Ozone magazine in 2010, the “Lollipop” rapper addressed the criticisms. “I don’t think what people think should be any concern of anybody’s,” Lil Wayne said. “It’s definitely not a concern of mine. I’d be crazy if it was and you’re crazy if you are. But that goes back to me not caring about what people think or say. They wanna be [baby mama] number five, six, and seven, so.” Below is everything to know the rapper’s children, including their mothers.
Reginae Carter
Born on November 29, 1998, Reginae is Lil Wayne’s daughter with ex-wife Toya Johnson, a reality TV personality, rapper, author, and businesswoman. The two were married between 2004 and 2006, marking Lil Wayne’s first and only marriage.

Reginae also co-wrote the book Paparazzi Princesses and was previously part of the girl group OMG Girlz.
Reginae has also made a name for herself as a model. On her Instagram, the raven-haired beauty has an infinity for sharing snaps from her latest photo shoots. It appeared she also started a line of athletic wear, as she announced the Ifitin brand back in December.
As for her love life, fans have speculated she had something going on with artist Ar’mon Warren after they were set up on a YouTube blind date in July, per The Shade Room.

Despite their on and off again relationship, the duo remain on good terms as they co-parent their son. “We were in a relationship that didn’t make it,” Lauren told Essence in October 2020. “We tried more than once to revive it, and we were engaged briefly years ago, but we eventually parted ways. My son’s father is an intelligent, loving, and lovable person who will always be a dear friend.” For his 12th birthday this year, Lauren shared a snapshot of Kameron, calling him “compassionate,” “brave,” “honorable,” “strong,” and “full of integrity.” Kameron appeared on his dad’s 2020 mixtape No Ceilings 3.

In a birthday homage last year, Sarah called her son a “headstrong individualist” who walks “to beat of your own drum,” writing, “I so admire that about you. Keep being your authentic self and blazing your own trail. I love you and I don’t care how old you get… I’ll never stop stealing kisses.” Like half-brother Kameron, Dwayne appeared on his dad’s 2020 mixtape No Ceilings 3.

For his 11th birthday last year, Nivea shared a sweet tribute on Instagram, writing, “It’s always bittersweet every year my kids get older. Although I am so excited to see the man that you will grow up to be, you will ALWAYS BE MY BABY! I Love You Infinitely!!! Happy 11th Birthday Neal aka Poont aka Meatball aka Young Carter.”
