Lil Wayne's Recent SNL50 Performance Sparks Debate, Daughter Reginae Carter Defends Icon

The recent performance by Lil Wayne at the SNL50: The Anniversary Special has ignited a passionate debate among fans, leading his daughter Reginae Carter to come to his defense.

Introduced by Dave Chappelle, Lil Wayne took the stage with The Roots and DJ T. Lewis at Saturday Night Live's 50th anniversary special on February 16. The rap icon delivered a medley of his greatest hits, including crowd favorites like "Uproar," "Lollipop," "6 Foot 7 Foot," "Mrs. Officer," and "A Milli."

The SNL50 special was a star-studded affair, featuring a three-hour extravaganza on NBC and Peacock with classic sketches, musical performances, and appearances by former cast members and special guests.

While many fans praised Lil Wayne's energetic set, some felt it fell short. Criticism ranged from doubting his choice for the Super Bowl to claiming his performance outshone even Kendrick Lamar's Halftime Show.

Despite the mixed reactions, Lil Wayne's daughter Reginae Carter took to Instagram to defend her father.

"Yall are some d riders!" she exclaimed. "My dad has been enjoying performing for years! He is truly himself on stage. Go play with your kids... he got paid for this. What did you get for hating? Nothing!"
