Reginae Carter Claps Back at Haters Over Lil Wayne’s SNL 50 Performance
Saturday Night Live recently celebrated its 50th anniversary with a star studded event. While many were enjoying the nostalgia of the occasion, Reginae Carter had a different focus, she wanted to defend her dad, Lil Wayne, from his critics. The popular rapper performed his classic song “Mrs. Officer” alongside The Roots, but not all online reactions were positive. Some fans made fun of his performance, which upset Reginae. She quickly responded to the negativity in the comments section of an Instagram clip from SNL. “Y’all are some d riders!” she wrote, defending her father. “My dad has been enjoying performing for years! He’s just being himself on stage. Go focus on your own lives… He got paid for this… What do you get for hating? Absolutely nothing!”
Her comments reflect her deep loyalty to her dad, who has influenced the music industry for many years. Despite criticism, Lil Wayne has always done things his own way. His performances are all about having fun and being true to himself, which his fans have loved since his early days. The criticism of his SNL performance sparked a discussion about whether Lil Wayne should have performed during the Super Bowl halftime show in New Orleans, rather than Kendrick Lamar. Some people believe that Wayne deserves the spotlight because of his significant impact on the city and his impressive music career. But Lil Wayne has never been one to seek approval, he shows up, performs, and enjoys what he does, exactly as Reginae highlighted.
Lil Wayne is a legendary figure in music who doesn’t need anyone’s approval. His talent and the mark he’s left on the industry speak for themselves. As for his detractors? They can keep talking while Wayne continues to succeed. With a fiercely loyal daughter like Reginae supporting him, he doesn’t need to defend himself, she’s always ready to step in. So, whether people love him or dislike him, Lil Wayne continues to perform, have fun, and earn a living.

Lisa Boostani creates a mesmerizing tidal realm in “Ocean”
Lisa Boostani’s “Ocean” takes you deep into a sensory world where body, spirit, and myth come together, beyond the surface of genre. Boostani makes a soundscape that is both ethereal and deeply human by combining the broad essence of psychedelic pop with the strong appeal of alternative rock.
Her voice rises as if it is coming from deep within her, shaped by emotion rather than action. She intentionally channels the intangible, turning weakness into strength rather than a source of pain, and “Ocean” tells people to get involved in this inner world, not just watch it. This release is an integral part of her first EP, “One,” which will come out in March 2026 and is based on love, sensuality, and unity.
If “Ocean” is any indication, the EP will show sensuality not as something pretty, but as a kind of spiritual intelligence, a way to know yourself by connecting with others. The song’s textures and structure have an aquatic quality, moving between clarity and delirium, rhythm and freedom. Its emotional focus is on immersion instead of resolution.
The striking quality of “Ocean” is the blend of the mystical worlds. Boostani understands that strength often shows up as gentleness and that deep feelings are better expressed through frequencies than words. She wants people to see consciousness as immediacy, sensation as truth, and openness as an undeniable strength.

NOAH. captures the unspoken signals in enchanting R&B track “That’s Bless”
“That’s Bless” captures the unspoken late-night message, the smile that was exchanged from afar, and the feeling you sense but are afraid to say. NOAH. offers a song with a smoky R&B feel and lyrics that capture unspoken tension, firmly in the realm of emotional ambiguity, where connection is clear but not defined.
This piece concerns the subtle discomfort of mixed signals and quiet longings, when looks say more than words ever could. NOAH. handles the theme with restraint, letting the chemistry simmer rather than explode. NOAH.’s delivery shows a confident gentleness, recognizing that some feelings don’t need strict definitions to be real.
In “That’s Bless,” he captures the essence of connection and the compelling allure that endures, even when both parties pretend it is not there. The composition is based on real-life events, and it acknowledges that specific attachments endure in the heart long after one has persuaded oneself of having progressed.
“That’s Bless” is at the crossroads of closeness and distance, clarity and confusion. The song doesn’t resolve the tension it talks about, and that’s what makes it so powerful. It sums up the connection we say we don’t want but keep coming back to in memory, rhythm, and pulse.
