Lil? Wayne?s daughter possibly killed (update: not true, she?s fine)

There are several reports floating around the internet that rapper Lil' Wayne’s 8-year-old daughter Reginae Carter was killed in a car accident yesterday. Wayne’s Myspace page is flooded with condolences, but there has been no official word one way or the other.

Lil' Wayne Daughter Killed - Reginae Carter, the daughter of Lil' Wayne, has reportedly been killed. She was only 8 years old.

According to reports, the daughter of Lil' Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Carter, Reginae Carter allegedly died in a traffic accident late in the evening on August 10th, 2008.

An online celebrity site is responsible for reporting the story as fact, but there is no confirmation from any mainstream media outlets.

Lil Wayne's myspace page is literally covered with Reginae Carter comments about her alleged unconfirmed death tonight. Comments about Reginae Carter's death appear on Carter's myspace page since 10 pm PST Sunday.

All of the information cited in the article is basically gossip, along with Myspace and Yahoo! Answers. MTV picked up the story but again emphasized that there’s been no official word from Lil’ Wayne’s camp. Someone claiming to be Reginae's aunt write on the Myspace page that the rumor is false – but again there’s no way to know if the woman really is who she says she is. Rumors like this can often take on a life of their own so we’ll have to wait a bit and see what other information comes out. If it is true, we send our deepest condolences.

Update by Celebitchy: Lil Wayne's rep issued a statement to SOHH saying this isn't true at all and that Regina is fine. There's also a comment on his myspace from a woman claiming to be his aunt which says "I am pleased to inform you that this report is false. It is merely a rumour started by someone who obviously is miserable in their own skin that they would even have the notion to attack a child."

"Rest assured Reginae is tucked away in her bed at this very moment trying to get past the hurt this ugliness has caused her and our family." [via Radar]

We're sorry for the incorrect story and are glad to see this rumor isn't true at all. Shame on the person who started it.
