Singer, Nivea, had a poppin’ R&B music career in the early 2000’s- she once sang backup for Mariah Carey and her song, Don’t Mess with My Man, was nominated for a Grammy Award. Yet, it seems like she’s mostly noted for having children with two superstars in the music game: The-Dream and Lil’ Wayne. *Scroll down to see their children*

Although her relationships with either of them didn’t last, Nivea’s proven two things throughout her journey: (1) she is very fertile; and (2) she is a strong, wonderful mother to her four children. So, how did she have 4 babies in three years, by two superstar exes, you ask? Let us explain…

First Was Lil’ Wayne

In February of 2002, Nivea began dating rapper, Lil’ Wayne. They were so in love, that in her July 2003 interview with Sister to Sister Magazine, Nivea revealed she and Wayne were engaged.

Nivea: “‘I got your Christmas present with me and you’re gonna love it,’ Nivea stated [about Lil Wayne’s proposal]. ‘It’s gonna make you smile.’ He got down on his knee and he was like, ‘I know I’m young, but I’ve been through enough relationships to know and understand the meaning of what love is.’ He was just perfect. He told me that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me and he loved me. It was snot and tears at the same time.”

Unfortunately in August 2003, Lil Wayne reportedly called off his engagement to Nivea. He then married his daughter’s mother, Antonia “Toya'” Wright, whom he married in 2004. Nivea was not one to sit around moping though, she moved on as well, with The-Dream.

Then Came The-Dream & 3 Kids

The same year Lil’ Wayne married Toya, Nivea married R&B singer/producer, Terius “The-Dream” Nash, in December 2004. Their adorable daughter, Navy Nash, was born on May 10, 2005. They quickly became pregnant again with their twin sons, London Nash and Christian Nash, born in April 2006. The couple soon divorced in 2007 and they both spoke out about it publicly.

The-Dream On Why He Divorced Nivea

Via Ballerstatus: Dream says that…as his popularity grew, he admitted that he became bitter that his singer/wife [Nivea] wasn’t matching his status. While he says it’s not the only reason, he says contributed to their split. “When you’re no longer able to have a certain type of fun with your partner and it turns into a relationship where you’re kinda like trying to get them … get a certain thing or understand something … You start to get bitter, and you don’t wanna be that,” Dream says. “That’s what happened in my relationship when I was married. I just … I ended it. That’s when I decided to end it because I didn’t wanna take this good person and treat them a certain way based off what I was changing into.”

Nivea On Her Divorce From The Dream

Nivea sat down with Rolling Out magazine to reveal how she handled their divorce:

“We’re cool. It was a mutual agreement to call it quits, she said, before explaining, I’m lying, it’s not. We supposed to say that, but it’s not true. It wasn’t no mutual agreement, he [The-Dream] wanted to do it, I didn’t, but it’s done. I’m dealing with it…

Back To Lil Wayne & 1 More Kid…Plus 2 More Mothers

After ending her relationship with The-Dream, Nivea reconciled with her “first love,” Lil’ Wayne, in 2007. So committed to Wayne, she even remained with him upon learning that he had a child with his ex, Sarah Vivan, in October 2008. By 2009, Nivea also learned that another woman was in Lil Wayne’s life. In September of 2009, he had a son with actress, Laura London. Two months later in November of 2009, Lil’ Wayne welcomed a son with Nivea. For the second time, Nivea and Lil’ Wayne called off their alleged engagement.

During tax season a lot of people are anxious if you’re expecting a nice return but when you’re unsure of whether or not you might owe and if so–how much?! tax time can be like the grim reaper. Well, at least you won’t need to cough up as much as Lil Wayne had to.

Coughed Up $14 Milli

According to court records obtained by The Blast, Weezy recently coughed up $14 million to settle his tax debt. The IRS filed releases of two separate federal tax liens against Wayne. Back in 2017, the liens accused Wayne of failing to pay $7,341,399.07 in 2011 and $6,853,545.77 in 2012 … for a grand total of $14,194,944.84.

Back in December, Wayne himself addressed tax-related matters from the stage in Chicago, shouting out recent Vanguard Award recipient JAY-Z for his behind-the-scenes assistance on a previous issue. “There’s people like Jay-Z,” he said at the time. “He helped me when I was really, really, really down. Really, really, really down . . . Jay don’t want me to tell nobody. That man helped me with my taxes. He’s a real friend, y’all.”

Now you might say, why do rich people not file their taxes? Well in Lil Wayne’s case it might have been due to his money being largely tied up with the whole dispute with Birdman and not releasing any albums.

Like her mother, Toya Wright, Reginae likes to put much of her life on public display through various social media outlets- Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, you name it. Typically, she keeps her siblings off of her pages though, but New Years Eve 2017 must’ve brought about change for the Carter mini-me’s. When Reginae (19) shared a pic of herself with her handsome younger siblings, it quickly dawned on us that many people are hella confused as to where the other three Carter kids came from…

Fans Express Confusion
Soon as the post went up (shown above) with Cameron Carter (8, left) Neal Carter (8, center), and Dwayne Carter III (9, right), cheesin’ it up for the ‘Gram with their big sis,’ everybody and their mommas were leaving comments, asking who the lil’ men belonged to. It was almost comical to witness people scrambling to untangle the web of baby mommas and their offspring that Wayne accumulated in a very short time (with the exception of Reginae).

Lil Wayne’s Baby Momma Web Untangled…

To clear up the confusion, we’ve decided to revisit the information we covered in our previous post about Lil Wayne’s baby mommas and the order in which the children were born. Here’s a quick breakdown to the Carter mini-me’s mystery:

Lil Wayne’s baby momma circle includes his ex-wife, Toya Wright (mother of 19 year old Reginae); R&B singer, Nivea; actress, Laura London; and a woman by the name of Sarah Vivan. Nivea dated Wayne back in the day and in 2003, Lil Wayne reportedly called off his engagement to Nivea and became engaged to his daughter’s mother, Antonia “Toya'” Wright, whom he married in 2004.

Toya and Wayne divorced and by 2007, Nivea reconciled with her “first love,” Lil’ Wayne. So committed to Wayne, Nivea even remained with him upon learning that he had a son, Dwayne III, with his ex, Sarah Vivan,  in October 2008. By 2009, Nivea also learned that another woman was in Lil Wayne’s life. In September of 2009, Wayne had a son, Cameron, with actress, Lauren London. Two months later, in November of 2009, Lil’ Wayne welcomed his son, Neal, with Nivea. And that, ladies and gentlemen be’s the tale of the Carter family.

The coolest part of it all, is that not only are the four Carter kids extremely close, but so are ALL of their mothers! Nivea, Toya, Sarah, and Lauren can oftentimes be seen out together having a blast, just like four close knit sister-wives. Okay, maybe the ‘sister-wives’ comparison was a bit much, but y’all catch my drift. There’s zero baby mama drama for Lil’ Wayne.

First Was Lil’ Wayne

In February of 2002, Nivea began dating the N.O. rapper, Lil’ Wayne. They were so in love, that Nivea revealed in her July 2003 interview with Sister to Sister magazine, that she and Wayne were engaged. As an early Christmas present, Nivea said Wayne got on one knee on December 11th of 2002 and asked Nivea to be his bride.

“‘I got your Christmas present with me and you’re gonna love it,’ Nivea stated [about Lil Wayne’s proposal]. ‘It’s gonna make you smile.’ He got down on his knee and he was like, ‘I know I’m young, but I’ve been through enough relationships to know and understand the meaning of what love is.’ He was just perfect.

Unfortunately, things didn’t work out with them and in August 2003, Lil Wayne reportedly called off his engagement to Nivea and became engaged to his daughter’s mother, Antonia “Toya'” Wright, whom he married in 2004. Nivea was not one to sit around moping though, she moved on as well, with The Dream.

Then The Dream & 3 Kids

The same year that Lil’ Wayne married Toya, Nivea married R&B singer/producer, Terius “The-Dream” Nash, in December 2004. Not too long after their union, their adorable daughter, Navy Talia Nash, was born on May 10, 2005. They quickly became pregnant again with their twin sons, London Nash and Christian Nash, who were born in April 2006. Unfortunately they soon divorce in 2007 and they both spoke out about it publicly.

Dream On Why He Divorced Nivea

Via Ballerstatus: Dream says that…as his popularity grew, he admitted that he became bitter that his singer/wife [Nivea] wasn’t matching his status. While he says it’s not the only reason, he says contributed to their split. “When you’re no longer able to have a certain type of fun with your partner and it turns into a relationship where you’re kinda like trying to get them … get a certain thing or understand something … You start to get bitter, and you don’t wanna be that,” Dream says. “That’s what happened in my relationship when I was married.

Back To Lil Wayne & 1 More Kid…And More Mothers

After ending her relationship with The Dream, Nivea reconciled with her “first love,” Lil’ Wayne, in 2007.

Two months later in November of 2009, Lil’ Wayne welcomed a son with Nivea. For the second time, Nivea and Lil’ Wayne called off their alleged engagement.

While Lil’ Wayne and Nivea’s relationship didn’t work out, it is apparent that Lil’ Wayne is a good father, even though some would argue that he may not be the greatest boyfriend. However, with the exception of Toya, none of the women that Wayne has children with have become Mrs. Carter. Yet, all the women are getting along wonderfully and raising their children together in a peaceful manner. Overall, Nivea’s love life makes for a good reality show, you agree?

Many of today’s music artists are cowards, here’s why:

Today (May 1, 2015) Freddie Gray’s death was ruled a homicide in the city of Baltimore by the state’s attorney, Marilyn J. Mosby. Mosby announced that she filed homicide, manslaughter, and misconduct charges against police officers in the death of Gray. This is wonderful news, but we couldn’t help but think about the fact that ever since the Baltimore riots and unrest have started on April 27, 2015, that most of today’s “hottest” multi-platinum selling artists have been silent.

So in my humble opinion, these artists are cowards because all I hear coming from these rappers and songbirds is the sound of crickets at a time like right now. These artists have a lot of power with their huge multi-million social media following and fans and they can spark great change and calm over the people, but they choose not to. Sure you will see a few of them put up a “Pray for Baltimore” meme, or you’ll see one or two of these artists post one link for cleanup efforts in Baltimore, but where is their VOICE?!! Their followers who believe in them need more than a silent pic or web link, they need their idols to get loud and SPEAK OUT against injustice. Change can’t happen by sitting in silence and posting pics, or none at all.

There’s no way James Brown, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Curtis Mayfield, N.W.A., Nina Simone, Public Enemy, Gil Scott-Heron, KRS-1 (I could go on and one) would have just stood by and been silent at a time like right now. Like I said, today’s artists have an extreme amount of power, but it wasn’t the artists, it was the people who stood up and protested against Freddie’s death and their effect is probably what ultimately got those charges brought on against those police officers, without the help of the artists.

Don’t get me wrong, there are still a few rap artists who will stand up and as far as the R&B artists, I can’t think of any who are standing up, but overall, the top sellers in both genres have their lips sealed tighter than a bank vault.

I personally like some of these artists’ music, but I just could not ride with them on their lack of using their voices when their followers need them the most. So I’m calling these artists out by simply putting what they’ve been posting on their social media pages ever since April 27th when the riots over Freddie Gray’s death really exploded in the streets. Tell us if you think they should have had their priorities in better order than this:
