Who Are Lil Wayne’s Kids?

Reginae Carter

At the age of sixteen, the rapper welcomed his first child, Reginae, with Antonia “Toya” Johnson, his high school sweetheart. They chose to name their daughter after the rapper’s stepfather, Reginald. Despite no longer being in a romantic relationship, the rapper and Toya maintain an amicable connection and are dedicated to co-parenting their daughter. Emulating her father’s footsteps, Reginae has ventured into the music industry as both a singer and rapper. She is currently under contract with Young Money Entertainment, her father’s record label. Alongside Bria Williams, Birdman’s daughter, Reginae co-authored a book titled Paparazzi Princess, which dives into the experiences of having a celebrity father. Reginae has also appeared in various reality shows, including T.I. & Tiny: Friends & Family Hustle, Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta, and My Super Sweet 16. Amidst the pandemic, she turned to social media, particularly TikTok, as a creative outlet.

Dwayne Michael Carter III

Dwayne Michael Carter III, the rapper’s first son and second-born, was born on October 22, 2008, in Cincinnati, Ohio, with the rapper and Sarah Vivian as his parents. He is affectionately referred to as Lil Tuney within the rapper’s family circle. Dwayne is currently 14 years old.

Kameron Carter

Kameron Carter, also recognized as Killa, is the rapper’s third child, born on September 9, 2009, at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. His mother, Lauren London, opts to maintain a low profile for Kameron, keeping him away from public attention. However, he has been seen a few times publicly when he spoke at Nipsey Hussle’s funeral back in 2019 and recently when he sat courtside in Colorado with his father at the NBA Finals in June 2023.

Neal Carter

Neal is the product of Lil Wayne’s relationship with singer Nivea. The couple engaged in the early 2000s, experienced a breakup only to reconcile years later and welcome their sole child together. However, their relationship ultimately ended in 2010. Neal Carter is currently 12 years old and has been seen with his father and mother on numerous occasions in pictures.

Though half of Lil Wayne’s kids are still coming into their own, every one of them bears a striking image to their father.
