Antonia Carter is an American reality television personality better known as Toya Carter. She is best known as the ex-wife of Dwayne Michael "Lil Wayne" Carter. Since their breakup she has been raising their daughter Reginae Carter. Wright wrote a book called Priceless Inspiration, owns boutique called G.A.R.B., and is starring in her own reality show on BET called Toya: A Family Affair.
Wright was born in New Orleans, Louisiana. She is the third child of Anita Johnson-Andrews and Walter Andrews. All together they have six children. Her mother was a drug addict so as a child, she was moved from relative to relative. This made her feel like she had no sense of belonging, until she met her childhood sweetheart Lil Wayne. Wright and rapper Lil Wayne met when she was at a corner store and Wayne was standing outside in New Orleans, Louisiana. She became pregnant with their daughter at the age of 14. Lil Wayne was already signed to Cash Money Records as a burgeoning rapper. Lil Wayne ultimately chose to fully pursue his rap career with Cash Money Records in order to support his child.
When she was 15 and Lil Wayne was 16, Wright gave birth to their daughter, Reginae Carter, on November 29, 1998. Years later, upon Lil Wayne achieving stardom, They were married on October 14, 2004. In January 2006, however, after almost two years of marriage, the couple separated, citing her inability to cope with his lifestyle, most specifically his career keeping him away from home for long periods of time. Despite being divorced, the two have remained good friends and continue to raise their daughter together.
