Reality TV star Toya Wright has addressed her relationship status with ex-husband Lil Wayne. Wright revealed how much Weezy F. Baby helped her and their daughter get over a recent family homicide.
According to Wright, she had a feeling Wayne would come to their aid after recently losing two brothers to gun violence.
“It didn’t surprise me that he showed up,” Wright tells PEOPLE exclusively about her relationship with her rapper ex. “We’re still very, very close.” Wright and Lil Wayne have a 17-year-old daughter named Reginae Carter – [Lil Wayne’s] daughter needed him and he was there. He calls and checks on us all the time.” (People)
Toya also explained Wayne going ghost for the family members’ funeral arrangement.
The burial was difficult for everyone. Lil Wayne did not attend because he didn’t want it turning into a “media thing,” she says. “He really can’t handle funerals. Neither can I,” she continues. “It was so hard to see my two brothers in caskets. I had nightmares afterward. It was so hard.” (People)
Earlier this month, various high-profile celebrities came through for Wright in the wake of her personal loss.

According to new reports, Wayne immediately went to see her shortly after learning about the personal loss.
We’re told Weezy was completely devastated over the death of his ex’s brothers, and wanted to get to Toya and their daughter as soon as he could to pay his respects. He’s been in NOLA since Sunday and just left Thursday. Lil Wayne was especially close to Toya’s brother, Rudy, who used to live with Wayne. The service for Toya’s brothers is Friday, but we’re told Wayne will not attend — only because he doesn’t want to turn it into a media circus. (TMZ)
The fatal shooting took place last month in Wayne’s Louisiana home state.
Police discovered the bodies of Rudy and Josh Johnson in a car in the early hours of Sunday. They were pronounced dead at the scene after each sustaining multiple gunshot wounds, and their apparent murders are now under investigation by authorities. (Xposé)
