Lil Wayne’s kids mean everything to him.

The rapper and record label executive has welcomed four kids, daughter Reginae and sons Dwayne, Kameron and Neal, with four different women, Antonia “Toya” Johnson, Sarah Vivan, Lauren London and Nivea. Over the years, Lil Wayne (né Dwayne Michael Carter Jr.) has spent time with his 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren at sporting events and red carpets and shared his love for them on social media.

“Important ain’t even the word. That’s life,” the rapper said on an episode of All the Smoke in 2023 when asked about prioritizing his kids. “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 made sure to publicly support all of his 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren’s moms, telling Rolling Stone in 2009, “the mothers of my kids are great.”

From their 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥hoods to special moments with their dad, here is everything to know about Lil Wayne’s four kids.

Lil Wayne and his then-girlfriend Johnson welcomed daughter Reginae on Nov. 29, 1998, when the rapper was 16 years old. The pair wed in 2004 but got divorced two years later.

While talking to PEOPLE in June 2024, Reginae joked that her dad was still “in diapers” when she was 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧. “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 [now] and looking at my parents? I’m a little scared,” she said.

When it comes to what she’s learned from Lil Wayne, Reginae told PEOPLE she wants to be “nonchalant” like he is.

“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 or you’ve got to change yourself for the world,” she said.

Reginae attended Clark Atlanta University and has worked as a model, reality TV personality and entrepreneur. Her film and TV credits include the Ray J film Dear Santa, I Need a Date, Pride and Prejudice: Atlanta, Growing Up Hip Hop Atlanta and T.I. and Tiny: Friends and Family Hustle.

The eldest Carter sibling also serves as a Savage x Fenty ambassador, having posed in a campaign for the brand in 2020.

“When they first hit me up, I was like, ‘Me?!’ ” she told PEOPLE in 2020. “First of all, I love Rihanna. That’s the first person that I’ve ever fan-girled over and cried over. I just love her. She’s my favorite artist — besides my daddy.”

Aside from acting and modeling, Reginae also has a clothing line called IFITIN.

Lil Wayne welcomed Dwayne on Oct. 22, 2008, with radio host Vivan. The rapper’s first son carries on both his father’s and grandfather’s names — he even uses a nickname that his dad has used, “Lil Tune.”

Following Dwayne’s 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡, Lil Wayne told Power House that he helped Vivan and the doctors in the delivery room. “He’s the best thing to ever happen to me, next to my daughter,” the performer said.

In a 2020 Instagram tribute to her son, Vivan said that Dwayne is “a headstrong individualist.”

“Mom and dad’s opinions are cool but end of the day you gone walk to the beat of your own drum and I so admire that about you,” she wrote in the caption.

It seems Dwayne might be following in his dad’s footsteps. In 2020, he rapped on the song “Fl4m3$” with Lil Wayne under the moniker, “Lil Tune.” Outside of the studio, the father-son duo have spent time together courtside at NBA games.

Lil Wayne’s middle son, Kameron, was 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 on Sept. 9, 2009, in Los Angeles. His mother, actress London, dated Lil Wayne on and off until the year of Kameron’s 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 — she later went on to have a relationship with the late rapper Nipsey Hussle.

“Kameron is full of soul and a constant reminder of God’s unconditional love,” London wrote in a sweet Instagram post for Kameron’s 10th 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡day in September 2019, calling him “my brave boy.”

Like his older brother, Kameron seems to be following in his dad’s footsteps, having rapped on Lil Wayne’s 2020 mixtape No Ceilings 3. Kameron has a full feature on his namesake song “Kam,” starting it off by rapping “Young Kam Carter / My flow is harder.”

Lil Wayne and Kameron often attend basketball games together and have been photographed on red carpets. The duo were guests at the 2022 ESPY Awards, where Lil Wayne presented the Golden State Warriors with the award for best team. The father-son pair wore matching black outfits to the sporty awards show.

Even when they aren’t attending events together, Lil Wayne and Kameron keep lines of communication open. During his All The Smoke interview, the Grammy winner received a call from Kameron. “I’m so sorry, one second,” Lil Wayne told the host. “That’s Killa, that’s Kam, he’s going to sleep.” The dad-of-four picked up the call and said, “Goodnight boy, l love you.”

Lil Wayne’s youngest son, Neal, was 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 on Nov. 30, 2009, just two months after his brother Kameron. Neal’s mother, R&B singer Nivea, has spoken about being pregnant at the same time as London.

“​​I found out the day I was confirmed pregnant with our son that he had another one that should be expected three months ahead of ours,” Nivea told VLADTV in 2019, explaining that she got close with London during that time. “It’s still a testament to the type of man [Lil Wayne] is because all of his 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 mothers, we’re all cool with each other.”

Neal regularly hangs out with his siblings and even rapped alongside his brothers on their dad’s 2020 mixtape No Ceilings 3. “This little guy here is so full of talent and swag!” Nivea wrote in an Instagram post promoting Neal’s song with his dad, “Hollywood.”

In another social media post for Neal’s 11th 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡day in 2020, Nivea wrote, “Although I am so excited to see the man that you will grow up to be, you will always be my 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦.” She also shared some of Neal’s nicknames, including “Meatball” and “Young Carter.”

In March 2024, Neal shared some of his new music on Instagram Live, per No Jumper. Fans were quick to point out how much Lil Wayne’s youngest son resembled him in the video.
