The Truth About Lil Wayne's Mom Jacida Carter

Like Lil Wayne (or as he's known to his mother, Dwayne Michael Carter Jr.) mentioned in his letter, these two have been through a lot together. When the artist was still just a teenager and expecting a child with his then-girlfriend Antonia "Toya" Johnson (who he later married before their divorce in 2006), Jacida Carter was seemingly calm and encouraging about it. 

Jacida's account is recorded as a spoken-word segment on Lil Wayne's Tha Carter V, according to Hot New Hip Hop. "You know when he told me that Toya was having a baby, I said, 'Y'all young. Y'all young, but be the best father you can be," she says on the album. "And, truly, he is that." 

Indeed, Lil Wayne went on to raise his daughter, Reginae, with his ex-wife despite their split. Now an adult, Reginae has gone on to take talents from both her mother, who's a television personality, and her father. With Reginae's appearances within her father's record label Young Money and her appearances on reality television, it seems Mama Carter's advice on parenting turned into the truth.
