Lil Wayne‘s former wife Toya Johnson-Rushing, along with his eldest daughter Reginae Carter, are currently in production for their own unscripted reality show.
Variety reports AMC Networks’ WE TV has greenlit a new series called Toya & Reginae, starring the ex-wife and daughter of the New Orleans Hip Hop legend. The new unscripted show is a continuation of WE TV’s popular Growing Up Hip Hop franchise, which Johnson-Rushing and Carter have both been involved in.

According to the network’s recent press release, the new show will pull back the curtain into the lives of the high profile mother-and-daughter duo, proving that “as happy as they seem on social media, their lives are unpredictable and full of chaos.”
Toya & Reginae will air this fall exclusively on WE TV and sister steamer ALLBLK. “I’m so excited to let viewers back into our lives to see what my family has been up to since you’ve seen us last,” said Johnson-Rushing in a recent statement.

On Wednesday (April 19), Toya shared a post from WE TV about the upcoming series on her Instagram Story. Earlier that day, the network had uploaded a photo of the mother-and-daughter duo, with the caption: “We are happy to announce that @toyajohnson and @itsreginaecarter will return to @wetv and @watchallblk soon with their new series #ToyaAndReginae.”
There is also an order for a scripted drama titled Bev is Boss, based on the life of Deb Antney, the mother of Waka Flocka Flame and legendary music management mogul. Antney has been credited with breaking the careers of high-profile artists such as Gucci Mane, French Montana, and Nicki Minaj as the founder and CEO of Mizay Entertainment.
In the scripted series, Antney’s journey from a girl growing up in Queens to becoming an accomplished manager is explored.
In other Lil Wayne news, Swizz Beatz recently previewed a new JAY-Z and Lil Wayne collaboration he has in the works from his upcoming EP.
The legendary producer teased the single on Instagram earlier this week, announcing that it will drop on Friday (April 21) as part of his Hip Hop 50: Vol. 2 project.
“SWIZZ X WAYNE X HOV THIS SHIT RIGHT HERE DROP 4/21 off my new EP,” Swizz wrote in his caption. “Life begins at the end of your comfort Zone Let’s Go! Happy Monday! Updated EP track list coming soon!!!!! It’s on…..”

This will be the first time the trio has joined forces on one song together, but it’s far from the first time Swizz has worked with either Hov or Tunechi.
Swizz most notably linked with JAY-Z on his Blueprint 3 cut “On To The Next One,” while he connected with Weezy on Tha Carter V track “Uproar” as well as his latest single “Kant Nobody,” which is set to appear on the sixth installment in his iconic Tha Carter series.
