Lil Wayne’s Daughter Tries Garri for the First Time, Her Reaction Sparks Hilarious Buzz Online.

Reginae Carter, the daughter of American rap legend Lil Wayne, sent Nigerian social media into a frenzy after her hilarious reaction to tasting garri and groundnut for the very first time went viral.

In a trending video clip, Reginae is seen spending time with popular Nigerian skit maker Adesokan Adedeji Emmanuel, also known as Shanks, and his circle of friends. During their hangout, Shanks decided to give her a taste of Nigeria’s iconic street snack garri with groundnut.

Despite her initial hesitation, the young star took a cautious spoonful, encouraged by those around her. However, her reaction was immediate she quickly spat it out amid laughter and apologized for her response.

The playful moment quickly gained momentum online, with many Nigerians taking to the comment section to share funny takes and defend the beloved local delicacy.

Garri, made from processed cassava flakes, is a staple in many Nigerian homes. Often consumed with groundnuts (peanuts), sugar, or milk, it’s known for being an affordable and filling snack.

While common in Nigerian households, the taste and texture can be unusual for first-timers especially those unfamiliar with West African cuisine.

Shanks, known for using humor to bridge cultural gaps, took the moment in stride, playfully telling Reginae, “You’re not one of us. You’re not eating it with an open heart.”

Nigerians across social media platforms had a field day reacting to the video. Here are some standout comments:

@_mbesi: “Na garri and salt or sugar?”

@engr_ikenna: “If she come drink Agbo-Jedi nko?”

@official_praizphix: “The fact that Shanks kept speaking his Naija English sweet me pass.”

@praize_cruiz: “Garri wey dey save souls for here.”
