Why We Love Toya Carter (Rolling Out Mag Interview Inside!)

I've become a Toya Carter fan.  To be honest, I didn't pay that much attention to her before (IKR) but her recent press promotions have shown a different side to her that we can all respect.  Read below to find out why.

EXPANDING HER PUBLIC PERCEPTION
People thought Tiny and I were gong to do a baby momma show. They only knew that I was married to Lil Wayne. But once we did season 2, they knew more about me. My life has changed, and I’m more in the public’s eye. I hear from people who are inspired by my story. I didn’t do the show to bash Lil Wayne or be labeled the mother of his first child. I will always be attached to him, but I’m doing things to better myself such as the TV show, my book and opening a clothing store.

 

HOW REALLY SHE FEELS ABOUT FAME
It's a gift and a curse, but a blessing. People feel like they really, really know you. So you get the weirdos who come up to you, ‘Oh, you looking for love? I can help you with that,' and ‘Wayne's crazy' and this and that. The plus side is you get to meet people who genuinely give you this love and open up to you so it helps people. 

SPEAKS THE TRUTH ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS
I just feel like women just go so hard. They give their all so fast. They give 100 and don’t get that in return. Relationships supposed to be equal. A lot of women didn’t grow up with the affection from their dad. So, when they find a man, they expect that man to give that to them.They look for love in all the wrong places. They never had their fathers around to say, I love you, and you’re beautiful. So, the first man to tell them, I love you, and you’re beautiful, they fall for it. That’s the biggest problem. They throw themselves on a man all the time and say, I got him. That [doesn't] work.



HOW TO RAISE A YOUNG LADY
When you have kids at a young age, your kids tend to grow up with you. So, as I was learning, she was learning, which is why she is wise beyond her years. People see my daughter and say, She is so grown. We were learning together. I couldn’t just put her off on everybody. That didn’t stop me from being a mother. I told her when she was born, I’m going to give you all I didn’t have and more.Love your kids listen to them, hear them out. People say, If you didn’t have it, you can’t give it, but that’s not true. I didn’t have [anybody], but I’m trying to be there for my daughter. talk to me because I didn’t have [anyone] to talk to.



GIRLLLL YES!!
Men have to be more respectful. This generation is just so disrespectful. They think it’s corny to open a door for a woman and just be polite. What goes around comes around. What you put out, you will get back

We respect her positive insights on dealing with life's ups and downs, raising her daughter, and being classy.  We and 1.5 million viewers as well wanna see more of our girl Antonia Carter so we'll definitely be tuning in to watch more episodes of Toya's Family Affair on BET.

R&B/Hip Hop Ladies Role Model Personality Profile

Tell me who you're a fan of and I'll tell you who you are.  Over the years, I have noticed many similarities between girls who idolize certain artists.  Many of us idolize celebs because they either embody traits they feel represent them, or qualities they want for themselves.  This post has a lot of truth in it if you sit back and pay attention.  If any of these describe you or someone you know, leave me a comment and let me know somethin! 

If you're a Beyonce stan....you come off as classy and poised individual.  You're the typical all-American girl that can be taken home to mom, with a hidden naughty side as a bonus.  You're probably an overachiever that made good grades in school and excel in your chosen profession.  If you have any siblings, you are probably the "golden child".  People are often jealous of you. You might be a little flamboyant and may display traits of arrogance and snottiness.

If you're a Nicki Minaj stan....you're feminine with a childlike vulnerable side.  You may sheild your vulnerability with a tough boisterous exterior. Those other bitches may try you at first, but they soon learn you're not the one to be played with.  You have a creative side and you just want to express yourself and have fun.  Sometimes you can be rude, you're not a bad person but you feel that you have to prove yourself and you may go overboard with it.

  

If you're a Trina stan....you definitely have a naughty side and aren't afraid to do you, good or bad.  You don't care if people gossip about you as long as they pronounce your name right.  You are outwardly confident and brash, you had to be because you probably went through a lot in your life.  You're a survivor and you like to be dominant.  In a crowd of people, you are the one others take notice of.  In a relationship, you are the one who wears the pants.  You love experimenting with different styles and you may take a daring approach to fashion.  Unfortunately you may not always treat your body like the temple that it is.

If you're a Rihanna stan....you're a rebellious little thang!  You were that girl in school who got in trouble for smoking in the girls' bathroom.  You are still trying to figure out who you are, so you make mistakes sometimes (who doesn't?) You are a very social person and you love to go out and be seen. Sitting at home chilling is not your thing.  You're opinionated and you don't care about pleasing people or winning popularity contests.  On the negative side, you can be a little self destructive and push away those who really care about you.

If you're a Ciara stan....you're sweet and humble.  You probably either have a big close-knit family or a lot of friends who serve as your family.  You have tons of energy and you likely either dance or play sports.  When you're in a relationship you're probably your man's best friend.  You will most likely get wifed early in life.  You like to look presentable but you aren't flashy or much of a material girl.  You may be a reserved person because you are very thoughtful and observant.  You're also a great gift giver!  Unfortunately you are too much of a pushover and people end up taking advantage of you.
