Relationship and marriage with Lil Wayne[edit]

At age 12, Toya and rapper Lil Wayne met when she was at a corner store and Wayne was standing

Wayne was already signed to Cash Money Records as a burgeoning rapper. He ultimately chose to

fully pursue his rap career with Cash Money Records in order to support his child. When she was 15

and Lil Wayne was 16, Wright gave birth to their daughter, Reginae "Nae" Carter, on November 29,

1998.[6] Years later, upon Lil Wayne achieving stardom, they were married on February 14, 2004. In

January 2006, however, after almost two years of marriage, the couple separated, citing her inability

daughter together.[7]
