Reginae Carter Claps Back at Critics of Lil Wayne’s SNL Performance
Reginae Carter is firing back at social media trolls who dared to critique her father, Lil Wayne, after his performance on the much-anticipated ‘SNL50: The Anniversary Special’. The show aired on February 16, reminding us all just how iconic Wayne is as he brought out hits from his classic ‘Tha Carter’ mixtapes, like ‘Lollipop’ and ‘6 Foot 7 Foot,’ alongside the legendary Roots and DJ T. Lewis. Some viewers were feeling nostalgic, while others had a bit more to say about Wayne’s stage presence.
Fans couldn’t resist dropping their two cents in The Shade Room’s comment section. One user cheekily suggested, “His team definitely told him don’t go on there embarrassing yourself,” while another mused that up on stage, “He managed to get on stage with some type of sense.” Yet, not everyone was on board with the performance; mixed reviews echoed through the digital halls, with one comment calling it “decent” and another lamenting that Jay-Z would’ve been fired for a similar gig.
It didn’t take long for Reginae to swoop in and defend her dad. In a fiery response, she stated, “Yall are some d riders! My dad been having fun performing for years! He is truly himself when he hit the stage.” Reginae didn’t hold back, reminding everyone that while they were busy critiquing, her father was cashing checks. “Go play with yall mf kids… what yall get for hating? Not a damn thing!” she quipped. With a response like that, it’s clear Reginae is fiercely protective of her pop’s legacy.
This isn’t the first time Reginae has been vocal on social media. Recently, she also addressed judgment surrounding celebrities affected by the Los Angeles wildfires, proving she isn’t shy about defending her family or standing up against negative commentary. It seems like this daughter-daddy duo is a force to be reckoned with, and they’re not afraid to lay down the truth when the haters come knocking.
So, whether you loved or loathed Wayne’s blast from the past at SNL, remember—he’s got a daughter who’s ready to go to bat for him, and that’s something you never underestimate!
