Lil Wayne has made it clear that his children hold immense significance in his life. The renowned rapper and record label executive is a father to four children: daughter Reginae and sons Dwayne, Kameron, and Neal, each with different mothers—Antonia "Toya" Johnson, Sarah Vivan, Lauren London, and Nivea.

Throughout the years, Lil Wayne, born Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., has been actively involved in his children’s lives, attending various sporting events and red carpet appearances, while frequently expressing his love for them on social media platforms.

"Important ain’t even the word. That’s life," Lil Wayne remarked during a 2023 episode of All the Smoke when discussing the importance of his children. "Like you need food to live, that’s just how it goes. I didn’t have a father, and it’s not easy to do something that wasn’t done for you, but I figured it out. I’m at the age now where it isn’t a challenge no more. Their love cancels all the challenges out."

Lil Wayne has also consistently expressed his admiration for the mothers of his children. In 2009, he stated in an interview, "the mothers of my kids are great."

His children’s journeys, from their childhoods to memorable moments with their father, highlight a bond rooted in love and support.

Reginae Carter was born on November 29, 1998, when her father was just 16 years old. Although Lil Wayne and her mother, Toya Johnson, married in 2004, they divorced two years later.

In a light-hearted interview with PEOPLE in June 2024, Reginae humorously mentioned that her dad was still "in diapers" when she was born. She reflected on her upbringing, stating, "Growing up, I’ve always had this thing where it’s like, I’m not getting pregnant yet. So I feel like dating for me, looking at my parents, I’m a little scared."

Reginae credits her father with teaching her resilience. "My father has told me to keep that tough skin and don’t let nobody or nothing play with you or make you feel like you’re less than," she shared.

Reginae, a graduate of Clark Atlanta University, has ventured into modeling and entrepreneurship while also appearing on reality television. She has had roles in films such as Dear Santa, I Need a Date, Pride and Prejudice: Atlanta, Growing Up Hip Hop Atlanta, and T.I. & Tiny: Friends and Family Hustle.

She also took part in a campaign for Savage x Fenty in 2020, sharing her excitement: "When they first hit me up, I was like, ‘Me?!’ First of all, I love Rihanna. That’s the first person that I’ve ever fan-girled over and cried over."

Dwayne was born on October 22, 2008, to radio host Sarah Vivan. He carries on the family legacy with a name similar to both his father and grandfather’s. Lil Wayne shared that he played a role in the delivery, telling Power House, "He’s the best thing to ever happen to me, next to my daughter."

Vivan has described Dwayne as a "headstrong individualist," emphasizing his ability to follow his own path. In 2020, he collaborated with his father on a track titled "Fl4m3$" under the name "Lil Tune." The two frequently attend NBA games together, strengthening their bond.

Kameron Carter was born on September 9, 2009, in Los Angeles, to actress Lauren London. The pair had an on-and-off relationship even until Kameron’s birth, with London later forming a bond with the late Nipsey Hussle.

Known for his spirited personality, London celebrated Kameron on his tenth birthday, describing him as "full of soul and a constant reminder of God’s unconditional love."

Like his older brother, Kameron has begun pursuing a music career. He featured prominently on Lil Wayne’s 2020 mixtape No Ceilings 3, delivering a verse on the track titled "Kam."

Lil Wayne and Kameron enjoy a close relationship, often attending events together, including the 2022 ESPY Awards, where they sported matching outfits.

Neal Carter, the youngest of the family, was born on November 30, 2009, just two months after his brother Kameron, to R&B singer Nivea. Nivea has shared her experiences of being pregnant simultaneously with London, creating a bond among the mothers.

"Finding out I was pregnant just as another one was arriving was wild," Nivea described in a 2019 interview. "It’s a testament to the type of man [Lil Wayne] is because all of his baby mothers, we’re all cool with each other."

Neal showcases his talents by spending time with his siblings and even rapping alongside them on their father’s 2020 mixtape. Nivea has expressed pride in his abilities, calling him "full of talent and swag."

Looking to the future, Neal shared a glimpse of his new music during an Instagram Live session, leaving fans amazed by his resemblance to Lil Wayne.
