Early Life & Education of Reginae Carter

Reginae Carter was born on November 29, 1998, in New Orleans, U.S. She is the first and only child of two young parents, who were both pursuing their dreams in the music industry. Her father, Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., better known as Lil Wayne, was a rising star in the rap scene, while her mother, Antonia Carter, was a talented singer and songwriter. They split up when Reginae was a kid, but they stayed on good terms and co-parented her well. Reginae said,

“Growing up my parents were great at co-parenting. I spent Christmases with one parent, Christmases with the other parent. I did spend that year with it, I’ll go the other year. You know it was very balanced, never had no type of problem. Yeah, it actually worked for me.”

Reginae inherited passion for music and showed signs of talent from an early age. She moved to Atlanta with her mom when she was five and went to different charter and Christian schools. She wanted to try public school for high school and liked it, but some people hated her for no reason. She remembered her high school experience:

“It was amazing but everybody hated on me for no reason.”

She also shared a story about a time when a boy challenged her dad’s reputation and she defended him.

“I went to school and there was this boy who said something. What did he say? Oh, it was some sports stuff I don’t want to bring it back into this, but I think my dad said that he slept with somebody, somebody I don’t know. But I went to school and the dude was like, ‘Yeah, did your daddy really do this?’ And then I’m like, ‘Boy, first of all, we’re kids. Stay in a kid’s place.’”

She later enrolled in Clark University. Reginae Carter’s college experience was not without drama, as she found herself in the middle of a fight at Clark Atlanta University in 2017. The incident happened when she was visiting the campus for a fraternity probate show, and one of her friends got into an altercation with some drunk girls. Reginae tried to break up the fight, but ended up getting involved in the scuffle. A video of the fight went viral on social media, sparking rumors that Reginae was jumped by the girls. However, she later cleared up the situation in an interview with V-103, saying that she was not the one fighting and that she did not get hurt.
