Zodiac sign: Scorpio

Although in his letter to fans from jail Lil Wayne expressed the importance of family in his life, his ex-wife (and as for now, the only official wife) Antonia Wright, previously known as Antonia Carter, tells, that during the time of their marriage the rapper didn’t put family life on the first place. She tells that he was too busy with his career, and that was the reason of their split.

Antonia Johnson was born in 1983 in New Orleans, LA. She attended Eleanor McMain Secondary School and there met her first love – a young rapper Lil Wayne. “He was amazing, very popular among his school mates and he could always find the way to the girl’s heart”, Toya said many years later in her interview.

They started dating, when he was 15 and she was 14. Then Lil Wayne has already recorded his first hit, and it made him the school celebrity. Girls followed him everywhere and hated Toya. One of them used the balloon with pink graffiti paint to spoil her car.

At the age of 14 Toya Johnson got pregnant. She was afraid of her pregnancy, when she saw two lines at her home pregnancy test. But Lil Wayne, whose biological father left him at a very young age, convinced Toya to continue her pregnancy and promised to support her. At the age of 15 the teen girl gave a birth to a daughter Regginae Carter.

At first Lil Wayne spent a lot of time with a newborn. He was hurt by his father, who had never cared about his son, and decided to become a better parent for his kid. But gradually his career devoured all his time. He left his daughter and girlfriend and spent long months touring around the country with his sons.

Toya suffered a lot. She wanted to leave the rapper, but suddenly he did the thing she had always dreamed about – he proposed her. They wedded on February 14, 2004. To that year Lil Wayne had already become a star.

During two years Toya, who took her husband’s surname Carter, tried to keep their marriage. But in 2006 the couple divorced. In her interviews Toya told, that she made this decision together, when understood, that they wanted different things – Wayne dreamed about stardom, but Toya wanted a husband and a father for her daughter every single day. So, they separated. But till now they remain friends.

After the divorce Toya Carter concentrated on her career. She opened a network of fashion boutiques, named “G.A.R.B.” and participated in a number of reality TV programs, the most popular of which was “Tiny and Toya”, which she hosted together with Tameka Cottle. The TV program has become the most popular among others of the same genre.

In 2011 Toya wedded for the second time. She tied a knot with a music producer and rapper Mickey Wright (Memphitz).  The couple, who got used to be in public, showed their wedding in one of episodes of “Marriage Boot Camp”. They shared their love story too.

Mickey and Toya met at an album release party and immediately fell in love. They started dating, and Mickey did everything to capture the heart of the beauty. He gave her presents and invited her to luxurious restaurants. Soon Memphitz proposed her and they got married.

In one of her books Toya Wright (again, she changed her surname after her husband) shared the reason of their split in 2015. First of all, she told that Mickey Wright appeared in her shadow because of her active career and popularity as ex-Lil Wayne spouse. In addition, he cheated her with the young stars he produced. Toya mentioned the singer K Michelle as her husband’s love interest.

After her second divorce the woman concentrated on her work. She hosted the own show “Toya: A Family Affair” and released several books, such as “Priceless Inspiration”, “My Real Reality” etc. In 2018 she welcomed her second daughter Reign Ryan Rushing with her boyfriend – successful businessman Robert Rushing.

Like his ex, Lil Wayne didn’t stop on his first daughter and gave a birth to several other kids.
