In going into any detail, Lil Wayne thanked Toya Rushing, the mom of his 24-year-old daughter Reginae Carter, for “reasoning” with him and his mother.
The Young Money leader has previously stated that he believes his mother Jacida “Cita” Carter’s third husband, Reginal McDonald, to be his father rather than his real father, Dwayne Carter Sr., with whom he has had no contact since his parents separated when he was a kid.
