Lil Wayne’s kids are officially pulling back the curtain on what it is like to be hip-hop royalty, and it is not always as flashy as one might think.

In a rare and vulnerable episode of the “Heir Time” podcast, Reginae Carter sat down for a heart-to-heart with her younger brothers Dwayne, Kameron, and Neal.
While the rest of the world sees a rap deity, his kids see a father whose massive fame often made their lives a spectacle. The siblings broke down the heavy psychological weight of their last name, revealing that navigating school was a constant battle between their own privacy and their father’s legacy.
For Kameron Carter, the son of actress Lauren London, fame felt more like a barrier than a flex during his early years. He opened up about the discomfort of being the center of attention before he even understood the magnitude of his dad’s career.
“I would say growing up, my first impression of school was difficult because I would walk around and hear like, ‘Oh, that’s that’s Wayne’s son.’ I was little, so I didn’t really get it, and I didn’t like it,” Kameron admitted.
While most kids are just trying to pass their classes, Kameron was busy trying to figure out if people actually liked him for who he was.
“At a young age, I didn’t like it because I wanted to know who would be my real friend. I didn’t care about all the attention. I wanted to actually garner real relationships,” he added.
Of course, leave it to the big sister to lighten the conversation. Reginae, the eldest daughter of Toya Johnson, joked about how she had a completely different reaction to the spotlight.
“You didn’t like it? I loved it. I was like, ‘Yes, I am Lil Wayne’s daughter. Yes, everybody get the cameras out,’” she laughed.
Despite her own confidence, Reginae praised Kameron for having the maturity to seek out genuine bonds rather than settling for clout friendships.
The conversation took another turn when Dwayne Carter III shared his experience in the elite private school circuit, which he described as “terrible.”
He revealed that even the most privileged students were surprisingly obsessed with his personal life, constantly hitting him with invasive questions.
“They would all be pressed about me the whole time. And they kept trying to ask me crazy questions. You don’t know how many crazy questions people done asked me,” he said.
Interestingly, Dwayne found his peace when he moved to a public school, where the students seemed way less concerned with his famous father.
“The funniest part is the people who started to care less was when I went to public school,” he noted.
The Carter siblings represent a powerhouse blended family, with mothers ranging from Toya Johnson and Sarah Vivian to Lauren London and Nivea.
Seeing all four of Lil Wayne’s kids together on one platform proved that, despite the noise and the constant questions, they have managed to build a solid foundation with each other.
