Toya Johnson Creates Buzz by Discussing Her Former Marriage with Lil Wayne
The popular reality star shared her experiences with Carlos King on his podcast, ‘Really With The King,’ where she candidly opened up about her turbulent relationship with Lil Wayne. Chileeeee! Toya Johnson was refreshingly honest, revealing to Carlos that she could still be in a “situationship” with Wayne if she had chosen to. Nonetheless, she clarified that she decided to end their relationship in the past due to his persistent infidelity. Reflecting on her younger self, Toya recognized that she deserved a better quality of life.
“When you’re young, you endure a lot and overlook many issues. Eventually, you reach a point where you realize, ‘I deserve better. Now that I have a daughter, I could have still been caught up in that relationship if I wanted to.’”
Despite her candid comments, Toya emphasized that her relationship with Wayne is purely platonic and devoid of any animosity. She now describes their connection as wonderful, noting that she views him almost like a brother, which highlights their long history together.
“We discuss his daughters and maintain a solid friendship. We’ve known each other for so long that we don’t perceive each other in that light anymore,” Toya elaborated.
Moreover, Toya reiterated that she could easily revert to being “Wayne’s baby momma still entangled with him” but confidently stated, “she’s a WIFE! She knows what she wants in life.”
Public Reactions to Toya’s Revelations
Whew, chileeeee! Even though Toya Johnson aimed to clarify her stance, the internet was not entirely receptive to her comments. Many users took to The Shade Room’s comment section to express their disapproval, suggesting that she showed disrespect towards her husband, Robert “Red” Rushing. Here are some of the reactions that surfaced.
Instagram user @dommedeannaa wrote, “as a married woman, some things are better left unsaid.”
Instagram user @shalaawebb_ wrote, “Toya, this was not cute at all.”
Instagram user @shopsugarandhoneyatl wrote, “Hmmmmm… I bet her husband had a serious conversation with her about this.”
Instagram user @crownedbytianaco commented, “Toya, you should’ve kept that to yourself.”
Another user, @dommie_mommie wrote, “Ciara and Savannah James would never do this.”
Instagram user @ms_562_beauty wrote, “Not cute! Not a flex!! Tacky AF!!”
In contrast, another Instagram user @desireeeeee24_ wrote, “That’s why you aren’t married, because she’s just speaking HER TRUTH!! As her husband, he should support her in that situation.”
Instagram user @jasmineyasmine wrote, “She needs to follow Ciara’s example.”
Lastly, Instagram user @ dymesishere wrote, “She should’ve just left it at saying, ‘If I hadn’t left and wanted more for myself, I could’ve still been there.’ After that, you’re disrespecting your husband.”
Robert “Red” Rushing: Toya’s Supportive Husband Amidst Controversy
Despite the online criticisms, Toya Johnson’s husband, Robert “Red” Rushing, appears unfazed by her interview comments. Shortly after her conversation with Carlos King, he shared a heartfelt photo on Instagram capturing a tender moment where he kisses Toya on the forehead, likely taken outside a restaurant. In his caption, he reflected on their journey together, particularly recalling the time he supported her through the heartbreaking loss of her two brothers, Ryan “Rudy” Johnson and Joshua Johnson, in 2016. He praised Toya for her resilience and reminded her that they are on the verge of embracing new adventures together.
“Toya, this day was just after you lost your brothers; you were a wreck. We had dinner with your dad, which was pivotal for repairing your relationship. I vividly remember holding you through all those emotions and saying, ‘I AM HERE AND I GOT YOU.’ This was years ago, and nothing has changed. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL, YOU’VE DONE AND CONTINUE TO DO SO MUCH FOR PEOPLE, AND YOU ARE SO F—— AMAZING. THIS IS OUR CHAPTER, RELAX AND LET’S LIVE IT UP… #Rushings,” Red expressed.
Toya reciprocated the love in the comments, writing, “My heart. Love you so much.”
