AceShowbiz - Reginae Carter has confirmed that her father, Dwayne Michael Carter Jr.—known professionally as Lil Wayne—once dated singer Solange Knowles, lending credibility to a claim made by rapper Bow Wow five years ago.
During the March 19 episode of her podcast, "Heir Time," Reginae spoke candidly with Toie Ashanti, daughter of rapper Rick Ross. When asked if she had ever been obsessed with one of her dad’s girlfriends, Reginae Carter named several, including Nivea, Trina, and notably, Solange Knowles.
The romantic history of Lil Wayne is well documented. His long-term relationship with Nivea is public knowledge, and together they share a son. Additionally, his engagement to rapper Trina in the mid-2000s was widely reported.
However, the relationship with Solange Knowles had remained a secret until now. Reginae Carter’s confirmation marks the first acknowledgment from someone close to Lil Wayne about this previously unconfirmed romance.
Back in December 2020, Bow Wow revealed on Clubhouse that Lil Wayne and Solange dated secretly in the early 2000s when Wayne was just emerging in the music scene. At the time, many dismissed the claim as a publicity stunt or rumor, but others believed it based on insider knowledge.
With Reginae Carter now backing up the story, the claim gains significant weight and reshapes public understanding of Lil Wayne’s early personal life.
Neither Lil Wayne nor Solange Knowles has publicly responded to these revelations. It remains unclear if either will comment on Reginae Carter’s recent confirmation.
