“My dad taught me a lot about just being in the industry, period,” Carter told People. “With him being in this industry since he was 12 years old, he taught me just to keep a thick skin, always be true to myself, never let one tell me what I can and cannot do.”

She also props her dad for teaching her to ignore the headlines about Toya and himself. Outside of her parents, Carter has become a social media “it girl,” with millions of fans supporting her multi-hyphenated career.
