Antonia “Toya’ Carter celebrated her 25th birthday last night with a party in Atlanta. And she received a smoking gift from someone special, and we’re guessing it’s from her baller boosky James Hardy. Toya Tweeted a few minutes ago:
Someone special bought me this…I love it!
Nothing says love like a pink handgun with bullets on the side. Make sure you cop that license Toya…we don’t need no more Weezy/Plaxico situations…
EDIT: James Hardy says he did not and would never purchase a handgun for Toya. So he was not the gift giver in this particular situation. Our guess stands corrected.
EDIT 2: Toya Tweeted an apology on 10/28: “im sorry for posting the gun on twitter..im not promoting violence at all..i just thought it was cute but i really wasnt thinking…Sorry:(”
So it’s been confirmed, according to BET’s Entertainment Spotlight, that Mario’s new boo is RichGirl’s Audra Simmons. She was also his leading lady in his “Break-Up” video and is his leading lady in his “Thinkin’ Of You” vid as well. They denied their couple status at first, but now a rep has confirmed. I’m sure about 6 of y’all are extrememly upset right now…
More when you read the rest…
This weekend The Princess & The Frog premiered around Disney World in Orlando. And Disney’s first black princess–Princess Tiana–debuted and the kiddies loved her:
Sweet.
In other news, NY Jets baller Braylon Edwards has officially been charged with misdemeanor assault. Remember when he punched out Lebron James‘ BFF Edward Givens outside a nightclub for no apparent reason? Well homeboy pressed charges and Bray faces up to 6 months in jail and a $1000 fine.
The charge carries a maximum sentence of six months in jail and a $1,000 fine. Arraignment was scheduled for Nov. 17 in Cleveland Municipal Court. Patrick D’Angelo, an attorney for Edwards, said his client will plead not guilty.
Edwards, a native of Detroit who played at Michigan, is accused of punching promoter Edward Givens, a friend of NBA star LeBron James, following an argument Oct. 5. Two days later, the Browns traded Edwards to the Jets. The Jets said they knew of the allegations before the trade.
He may get suspended a few games as well. Y’all know the NFL does not play this ish….

She’s so cute. Finally we have one.
Tue, October 27, 2009 2:29 PM
:shock: Wayne bought her an Aston Martin for her birthday
Tue, October 27, 2009 2:30 PM
Nothing on this page is right….except the Princess and the Frog. SMH and LOL at the same time…
Tue, October 27, 2009 2:31 PM
My dad bhought me a gun when I moved into my first aprtment, it even had a pearl handle. I have never used it, and I hope I never have to.
Tue, October 27, 2009 2:31 PM
that is the most disturbing gift ever, not to mention country. I dont care if its pink and cute.
Tue, October 27, 2009 2:31 PM
It’s about Disney had a black princess movie… I’ve been waiting for Disney to step it up for years.
Tue, October 27, 2009 2:31 PM
Nothing says love like an assault weapon *rolleyes*
Tue, October 27, 2009 2:31 PM
I was first but sh_t happens
Tue, October 27, 2009 2:32 PM
Im all for the Princess frog, but how come when AA get their own movie they have to have a multicultural cast. I didn’t see any AA in Beauty and The Beast, Cinderella, or Sleeping Beauty
Tue, October 27, 2009 2:32 PM
Daddy or Uncle giving you that kind of present is ok. but a boyfriend? whoa
Tue, October 27, 2009 2:32 PM
princess tiana is great but y does she have a prince who’s not black??
Tue, October 27, 2009 2:33 PM
WOW..ok, that “gift” hummmmm.. I just dont get it. I mean, maybe she asked for it sooooo I guess it gets a pass…
LOL @ “about 6 of ya’ll are upset”..I love Mario!! I just dont think he has that sex appeal to make me think of him in “that way”..I just think he is just adorable
Tue, October 27, 2009 2:36 PM
The gift for the gal that has everything… well everything except a degree..the want or desire to further her education…an actual job…a speech coach… i could go on and on..
Tue, October 27, 2009 2:36 PM
toya is 25 damn. thought girls was pushing 30. what do these people eat
Tue, October 27, 2009 2:39 PM
“I’m sure about 6 of y’all are extrememly upset right now…” Tasha you iz dead wrong for dat comment woman!!!
Tue, October 27, 2009 2:40 PM
That is a ghetto gift to give to a loved one, but look at toya ass!
Tue, October 27, 2009 2:43 PM
Toya – like her but that gift is ghetto as hell
Mario……….
Likes the black princess *smiles*
Braylon – although he was wrong, I really dont think you should get jail time for smacking someone.
Tue, October 27, 2009 2:44 PM
yall need to cut yall shit out. wtf is wrong with her gift not a damn thang she is a single parent living alone and think we all can agree that atlanta is not the safest place to live. Toya i’m happy for you don’t pay these hos no mind hattin bitches they just make me sick.
Tue, October 27, 2009 2:46 PM
WOW, That is first black princess in 2009… i guess better late than never…lol I can’t wait to see the movie. toya and the gun…pure foolishness. NEXT>>>>>>>>>>>>.
Tue, October 27, 2009 2:47 PM
Thats what I was thinking, maybe she wanted that for her bday.
Ok the princess is beautiful, but is he supposed to look like the frog too? smdh
Tue, October 27, 2009 2:47 PM
I’m sure about 6 of y’all are extrememly upset right now…
LOL – Tasha you are so right but so wrong!! LMAO!!
Tue, October 27, 2009 2:48 PM
Hey I am all for having protection. Maybe he is saying that even when I am not around I want something that you can put your hands on if need be. My husband brought me a gun whats the difference? That doesn’t mean you are “Hood” or “Ghetto” it means that there are some people in this world that are crazy and her being single it makes sense. I just hope that she goes and learns how to use it properly.
Tue, October 27, 2009 2:49 PM
I thought it was thoughtful of him to get her a gun. Mofos are crazy here in Atlanta right now. She should be able to protect herself and her fam…
Yea to Princess Tiana!
Tue, October 27, 2009 2:50 PM
CALM DOWN…BLANK STARE….SUCH LANGUAGE…LOL
Tue, October 27, 2009 2:50 PM
I agree.
whats for Christmas? grenades?
Tue, October 27, 2009 2:51 PM
TO SWEETEXASGIRL…BLANK STARE
Tue, October 27, 2009 2:51 PM
Tiana’s not just the first Black Princess from Disney, but according to Disney, she’s the first American Princess.
Tue, October 27, 2009 2:53 PM
I live in ATL too. With all the car jackings and stores getting robbed in broad daylight ill take a pink gun.
Tue, October 27, 2009 2:56 PM
If Toya was a YT girl, Hardy would have gave her diamonds, furs and shoes. But she got a damn gun instead…ghetto
DONT BUY INTO THE FORMULA
Tue, October 27, 2009 2:59 PM
Ha! I’m mad u said bout 6 people are mad at them being a couple!! Mario sure doesn’t have alot of sex appeal..He looks good but sex appeal, eh.
Tue, October 27, 2009 3:03 PM
An Aston Martin can’t help you when some fool is breaking into your house. With all the crazy shit going on, I will take my chances with the gun. Now her chances of getting carjacked for that Aston just decreased like hell.
Tue, October 27, 2009 3:03 PM
Cosign :oops:
Tue, October 27, 2009 3:03 PM
That “gift” is about as ghetto as BET…**SMH**
Tue, October 27, 2009 3:04 PM
Love your pic…very interesting.
Tue, October 27, 2009 3:06 PM
Okay wow, I would have slapped the fool with the gun for getting me something like that? What kind of female with kids wants a hand gun? I liked Toya but this is flat out stupid and not something to be proud of and definitely not something to be posting on twitter for all the children to think is cool.
Tue, October 27, 2009 3:07 PM
Im gonna have to co-sin at that. Mario looks l35, and like Chris Rock’s illegitimate love child…NO SEX APPEAL AT ALL!
Tue, October 27, 2009 3:07 PM
the blind leading the blind.
go ahead, toya. go on and follow behind ur dumb-azz sperm donor and that just as dumb n-word that thought it was a good idea to give u a gun for ur bday. how romantic :/
hollyweird and the status-quo sho dont want blk ppl to b seen together as royalty. i hope all can see what they r trying to do. it is not a good message to send. y she cant have a blk prince; tall, dark and handsome; a knight(dark) in shining armor. if anything, that will be a more believable premise than some non-blk dude!?!?!?
braylon… bruh. ur a coon. the next plaxico in the making. when these paid professionals do things like this, it is a bad omen. bad for business. smh. its funny how they think that a dumb n-word can make money for them and give it back to the establishment but they dont realize that they lose even more money when the fuck up. hah-hah!! they cant have their cake and eat it too!
Tue, October 27, 2009 3:07 PM
What in the hell is up with that Prince…damn couldn’t we get a decent looking brotha. I’m saying, they could not find one brotha to fit that role.OMG
Tue, October 27, 2009 3:08 PM
“I’m sure about 6 of y’all are extrememly upset right now…”….Ha!!! No, u’re 2 bad…more than “6″ ppl….
Tue, October 27, 2009 3:10 PM
Yes we understand her getting a gun, however to post a picture of it on your twitter likes it’s cool is where the problem comes in. Now you gone have little girls running around talking about they want a pink gun or a colored gun. THIS IZ GHETTO AND SHE IS IGNORANT FOR POSTING A PICTURE OF IT. When my Mom and Dad divorced he got her a gun and at no point did she go around flossing it, she hid it in the house and never mentioned it.
Tue, October 27, 2009 3:10 PM
Those afro puffs are adorable! lol
Tue, October 27, 2009 3:11 PM
Wow! The Princess is YBF!
Tue, October 27, 2009 3:12 PM
her baby daddy (lil wayne) buys her a aston martin and her man buys her a gun wowzers .. i know he’s kickinq himself right now lmfaoo
Tue, October 27, 2009 3:13 PM
y’all keep saying ghetto, y’all think the only folks who carry guns are black and/or live in the ghetto. If so than you’re ghetto for thinking some mess like that.
Tue, October 27, 2009 3:15 PM
In my cubie dying at the “I know about 6 of yall are upset now” …….toooo fierce….Tweeting pics of guns is just pure foolishness no matter who bought it for you…some things should be kept to self and one of those things is if you own a firearm for protection…tweeting the pic is glorifying guns and we have enough gun issues in our communities as it is….now every Keesha, Quiana, Kimmy, TeeTee and Alizeneequa will be asking Dante, Treyvan, Terrell, Montay, and Shavondello for a pink gun for Christmas…just to be “cute”…aint ish cute about kids accidently shooting one another or intentionally shooting one another for that matter…damn people…will we ever get it together.
Tue, October 27, 2009 3:21 PM
Some of yall are giving Toya too much credit. Like she’s gonna corrupt all the female youth because she posted a pic on twitter. For real? Why don’t you blast Tasha for reposting the pic? Come on now…
Tue, October 27, 2009 3:27 PM
LMFAO! I am over here cracking up! I love Mario!
Tue, October 27, 2009 3:27 PM
LMFAO @ all the ghetto gangsta boo’s now wanting a gun for their birthdays!
I guess when you hood and live in a hood, gifts like that are good enough
Tue, October 27, 2009 3:28 PM
LMFAO! GRENADES THOUGH!!!
Tue, October 27, 2009 3:29 PM
Why do some find guns so atrractive? In the wrong hands, they kill.
Tue, October 27, 2009 3:30 PM
LOL@ Keesha, Quiana, Kimmy, TeeTee and Alizeneequa ,Dante, Treyvan, Terrell, Montay, and Shavondello ESPECIALLY- Alizeneequa and Shavondello
Tue, October 27, 2009 3:33 PM
Toya has turned into a total media/publicity whore…
Tue, October 27, 2009 3:34 PM
Re: Toya & and her man: SO FREAKING IGNORANT. WHAT THEY NEED TO DO IS TAKE SOME ENGLISH CLASSES TO LEARN HOW TO SPEAK PROPER ENGLISH. WITH ALL THE VIOLENCE IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY WHY WOULD YOU EVEN GLORIFY THIS CRAP? SHE’S IGNORANT AND HE’S SLOW. THANKS BET FOR GLORIFYING THESE IGNORANT UNEDUCATED GHETTO IDIOTS. FREAKING RETARDS!
Tue, October 27, 2009 3:36 PM
i agree…besides that…you wanna BLAST it on twitter…kids follow her and think they should have one too. I get that you’re grown and I have one too, but i dont flaunt it around. Real childish Toya.
Tue, October 27, 2009 3:37 PM
i agree…besides that…you wanna BLAST it on twitter…kids follow her and think they should have one too. I get that you’re grown and I have one too, but i dont flaunt it around. Real childish Toya. But remember…you was real salty when ya baby daddy had your daughter on stage when he was singing he wants to F*@K every girl in the world…Reginae seems more mature than her dayum parents…SMH
Tue, October 27, 2009 3:40 PM
Haha where’s corbin?? Or somethn what she gon do w/ dat teeny prince??plz send diego home..lol need some mandingo swag some omar or lance gross boris?smh
Tue, October 27, 2009 3:44 PM
That 6 people comment was funny as hell!
Tue, October 27, 2009 3:45 PM
LMAO so true
Tue, October 27, 2009 3:45 PM
Toya seems to immature for a pistol. She may be the type of dumb chick to let her daughter know where it’s “hidden”. I hope not. I am not a fan of guns in the house where there are children. Unless it locked up in a safe with the presidents social security number as the code.
Tue, October 27, 2009 3:59 PM
Real cute, Toya. Some things you keep to yourself. Dumb.
Mario and his girlfriend – looks like a real cougar situation right there.
Braylon – pay the dude off and call it a day.
Tue, October 27, 2009 4:01 PM
LMAO!!
Tue, October 27, 2009 4:03 PM
I Agree. Who gives out guns for a bithday present. I mean really. What happened to gifts of love, like jewels. I’m so sick of this ghetto shi* our people keep doing. Did she show her daughter her pink gun?
Tue, October 27, 2009 4:05 PM
I love Toya’s gift thats some real shit. I don’t need no coffee maker or nuttn else like that. Give me some shit I can use…people crazy out here now-n-days.
Tue, October 27, 2009 4:05 PM

Tue, October 27, 2009 4:11 PM
Im all for guns for saftey. But as a BDAY gift?! NOT If dude thought she was that much in danger he should have brought that gun just because & ASAP…not holdin out until her BDAY! Boooooo.
You ask for nice things for ur BDay so u dont have to sepend ur own money!
Tue, October 27, 2009 4:18 PM
Maybe Mr. Hardy missed the whole Steve McNair saga. I hope the pink gun doesn’t show up in the news a few months from now. I agree with a few of you guys…if she was YT it would have been some other stuff. The gun is truly G-H-E-T-T-O!!
Tue, October 27, 2009 4:21 PM
She has a daughter… hope the gun is locked up in a safe place. It was definitely in poor taste. Now everyone knows she has it. Duh??
Tue, October 27, 2009 4:22 PM
whoa! lol!!!! So basically we should not be surprised she wanted this gift!
Tue, October 27, 2009 4:25 PM
Wow.. don’t hold back. LOL Even though you’re right. Give a gift in her name to a charity… make the news in a positive way. If this gun ever is involved in some BS you better know the media is going to have a field day. Good luck Toya. U might want to give that one back. LOL
Tue, October 27, 2009 4:26 PM
When a white person gets a gun they want to protect their home, but when a black person gets a gun its ghetto? and this is coming from black ppl….come on now, so she got a gun from her man, maybe he want her to protect herself and its actually a cute gun. I don’t think there was anything wrong with him buying Her a gun, if he was a bad guy she would shoot him with the gun He bought her.
Tue, October 27, 2009 4:26 PM
How do all you tricks know that’s the only thing
she got for her B-Day! She didn’t ask anyone to post
this on theybf.com! Chill out whores hating in
2009 is tacky now take that gun and shoot yourself!
Tue, October 27, 2009 4:29 PM
LMAO………..
Tue, October 27, 2009 4:41 PM
Disney knows good and well they would not put a Black Prince with a princess of any other race in a Disney movie, so why would they do that here?
And come on…look at this dude..what a joke.
Tue, October 27, 2009 4:47 PM
I agree. I thought she was a lot older. I’m 23 and she’s not that much older than me. Maybe its because her daughter is 13 years old, its hard to conceptualize her being just 25.
Tue, October 27, 2009 4:55 PM
morris chestnut would have made a much better prince. *sigh* guess we have to come up with our own.
i think the gun is cute but maybe too cute. my kids would want to play with it so i would have to hide it in a spot that even i couldnt get to when i needed it. so basically, its useless.
Tue, October 27, 2009 4:58 PM
the better to shoot wayne with
Tue, October 27, 2009 5:30 PM
Nice to post a picture of a pink gun on your tweeter Toya. I am sure Regeana and her friends will have a BLAST trying to look for it.
Tue, October 27, 2009 5:57 PM
if he was sooo worried about her safety, why didn’t he get her a bodyguard to follow her around everywhere? oh that’s right because they are ghetto! and stupid enough to post a twitter pic! wow. i’m ready to go back to less technology, back when ppl’s dumb-assedness was a little less accessible to the public. lol
Tue, October 27, 2009 5:58 PM
ok if this gurl is just 25 u tellin me she had this kid when she was 12!!!!!how old is their daughter and how old is she really!!!
Tue, October 27, 2009 6:23 PM
Someone is taking this Braylon issue way to far. I agree he is wrong but jail. That’s a bit much.
Toya looks happy and Tiny looks adorable. Hope all had fun.
kind
Tue, October 27, 2009 6:55 PM
I found an old Vibe article and she said she had her daughter at 14.
Tue, October 27, 2009 7:02 PM
What’s wrong if you have a gun (& of course a gun license)? It is her constitutional right to have one. If someone tries to hurt you, wouldn’t you like to have protection?
Tue, October 27, 2009 7:31 PM
exactly IS THAT THE SAME GUN SHES GONNA SHOOT HIM WITH WHEN HE STARTS CHEATING thts a dumb gift for a gf
Tue, October 27, 2009 7:43 PM
Yall are silly. White people get guns as gifts all the time, they show them off, collect them and everything and no one cares.
Toya gets a gun as a gift and its ghetto? meanwhile rappers rap about all manners of violent weapons in their songs and yall have the nerve to say that a twit pic on Toya’s twitter page is what is going to make little kids want to go out and get guns.
Plus the 2nd amendment gives people the right to have guns.
Sheesh people.
Tue, October 27, 2009 8:16 PM
necessitty or not, i can charge toya’s thought that a gun is cute or sweet to her youth & immaturity…but because she’s a mother with a kid in a kid group which means kids recognize her more, i can’t give the tweeted pic a pass. major boo! twitter has people thinking they have to tweet on every daggone thing *smh*
Tue, October 27, 2009 9:10 PM
thats funny.
but im actually shocked a lot of you guys, i believe americans, think this present ia alright. wow.
Tue, October 27, 2009 9:19 PM
Right!!!! I didn’t hear any talk of “ghettoness” & “coonish behavior” when people were marching at health care protests with guns on their hips. What was their excuse? It is their right to hold on to a licensed gun in public. But Toya shows a pic of hers and its ghetto??? GTFOH. I believe in protecting yourself by any means necessary. The fact that she showed a pic of it is just a warning to anyone who even thinks to run up in her home.
Moreover, many fathers (that I know of) buy guns for their family & some of my friends’ fathers have even recommended that they get guns when they moved into their own place.
Tue, October 27, 2009 9:20 PM
Please belive that chick cant spell, read or write a lick of english. Her FB page is like all over the place and she is mean as shit to her “fans”. Ignorant at best.
Tue, October 27, 2009 9:31 PM
LMAO. Why are you following her FB though?
Tue, October 27, 2009 10:05 PM
i will take the aston martin hello!!!!!!!!!!!!! The gun not so much! LOL :) anywho watching monica still standing, hope it’s better than the bet hip hop awards!
Tue, October 27, 2009 10:26 PM
Supposedly the Prince is suppose to Creole… Which makes sense since it’s based in Nola…
Tue, October 27, 2009 10:27 PM
lol…I fell out when I read that ish!
Tue, October 27, 2009 10:29 PM
Gah, I hate guns… I hope she doesn’t keep it her house.
Tue, October 27, 2009 11:09 PM
Folowing is what you do on twitter sweety and up until I saw her lack of grammatical skills and how ugly she acted toward folks I thought she was a decent girl. Thanks!
Wed, October 28, 2009 12:03 AM
You make a good point, but not very articulately. That makes it hard to take you seriously.
We don’t care about Mario, so definitely not about his chick.
Wed, October 28, 2009 12:11 AM
Maybe I’m slow, but what do they mean when they say if she wa YT. What is that? And I think Toya’s new dude is hot!!! way better that Wayne’s baby making AZZ!! Oh and her and the new ball handler just hooked up so maybe next year he would step it up a lil better. I’m sure that’s not all she got from him, just not tell. Yall be happy fa the girl. I very happy she’s getting pas Wayne, but we see he has love for her still. I bet the rest of them baby mamas ain’t getting Ashtom Martins!! Ha Ha Ha!!! I diggin it!!
Wed, October 28, 2009 12:14 AM
Oh yeah and I must add Toyia looked cute for her Bday!! Yall leave Mario alone, everybody needs luv, and I think she’s cool for him. Congrats to the black princess.
Wed, October 28, 2009 8:12 AM
Hello all, I don’t know I think the gun is cute, all women should be able to protect themselves. However when everything you promote about your birthday can be linked back to rap songs {cars, clubs and guns}thats when people link you with getto… You promote the sterotype. But really people she’s young and young people do stupid things…P.S. I watched that show one time her and tiny sound like un educated hoodrats…sad what BET promotes to the youth…. First tacky videos by black men, then tacky black women doing nothing worth promoting and only employing non blacks to host. Black Televison My ASS… talk about out of the pan and into the fire..
Wed, October 28, 2009 9:11 AM
AGREE!!! DAMN THEY MAD AS SHIT @ TOYA HOW PPL KNOW SHE DIDN’T ASK 4 THE GUN?? THESE HOES ON HERE JUST MAD THEY CAN’T GET A MAN PERIOD LET ALONE GET HIM 2 BUY THEM SOMETHING!!! LLS
Wed, October 28, 2009 9:15 AM
UHHHH WHERE THE HELL ELSE WOULD SHE KEEP IT??? IF SOMEONE IS TRYNA BREAK IN HER HOUSE WHY WOULD SHE WANT 2 RUN 2 HER CAR 2 GET THE GUN??? PLEASE PPL THINK B4 U POST!!!!
Wed, October 28, 2009 9:21 AM
Cosign! And who said it was her man that gave it to her… her tweet only said “Someone Special” that could be a brother, her mother, a friend… yall just messy and need some shit to talk about!
Wed, October 28, 2009 10:40 AM
Someone mentioned earlier that the problem isn’t with the gun itself, true she has a right own it. The problem is tweeting a pic of it. That gun looks like a toy. As a mother why glorify the very thing that your daughter’s father is going to serve time for? Poor, poor Reginae. I guess her consolation is a Black princess : )
Not to mention she ruined that outfit with those TACKY leggings.
Wed, October 28, 2009 12:03 PM
I live in the Atl and it is getting crazy with the break ins and assaults. Its even occuring out in the suburbs. There is nothing wrong with Toya having a gun for protection. Someone saw a need for her to have one and it was a nice gesture. For the record, there are kids that are attending GA State and GA Tech that are getting robbed at gunpoint on the regular as well as shot. Some of these kids have went out and purchased handguns for protection and have obtained concealed weapon permits. Its a crazy time.
Wed, October 28, 2009 3:28 PM
Cute gun, haha.
Audra, you –might– can do better but you know…whatever floats your boat.
A black princess, chea!
Wed, November 11, 2009 1:07 AM
i dont see what is wrong with her having a gun…you never know what could happen…might need to use it and whoever brought her that it was a good gift and i wonder who it is.
