in a recent episode of Reginae Carter’s podcast “Heir Time,” Lil Wayne’s children came together to reflect on their unique upbringing and the impact of their father’s fame. Reginae was joined by her siblings Dwayne Carter III, Kameron Carter, and Neal “Lil Novi” Carter for a special holiday episode, where they discussed family life, their individual careers, and how being the children of a legendary rapper shaped their experiences.
One of the central topics was how Lil Wayne’s celebrity status affected them in school. Kameron Carter opened up about how challenging it was to forge his own identity, sharing that his earliest memories of school were defined by being recognized solely as “Wayne’s son.” He described the struggle to find genuine relationships, explaining that he was more interested in real friendships than in the attention his last name brought. Over time, Kameron said he eventually found trustworthy friends but admitted the transition was difficult.
Dwayne Carter III echoed these sentiments, recalling that his time at private school was particularly tough, with classmates constantly asking him intrusive questions because of his father’s fame. He noted that things improved after he moved to public school, where students were less fixated on his family background.
Reginae Carter reflected on the need to be cautious of people who might try to take advantage of her because of her family’s status. She shared that learning to discern genuine intentions was a crucial lesson for her. Neal “Lil Novi” Carter, while not as vocal on this particular topic, is also carving his own path as an artist, following in his father’s footsteps and connecting with his siblings’ experiences in his own way.
Beyond the challenges, the siblings also shared lighter moments, talking about their father’s lyrics, giving Reginae playful advice about her online persona, and discussing their relationships with their mothers.
The episode offered a candid look at the complexities and rewards of growing up in the spotlight, with the Carter siblings agreeing that, despite the difficulties, they wouldn’t trade their experiences for anything.
