Nivea was expecting her son, Neal Carter who was born in November 2009. He is often referred to by nicknames such as “Meatball” or “Young Carter.” At that time, Lauren was pregnant with son Cameron Carter, born in 2008.Nivea has spoken about co-parenting with both fathers in interviews, and said that they have been supportive in various aspects of her life. She has previously shared her addiction to cocaine which began when she was in her 30s. At that time, she was not making music but had been focusing on her children. She discussed it an interview with Kandi Burruss and said:“I was tired of being a mom only. I was tired of doing so much for my family. I was just depleted and I felt like I was of no value to me or nobody.”She added that as they grew older, she went from being obsessed with her kids to struggling to have a bond with them. One day, when her grandmother died, she decided to do cocaine, a habit which she adapted from her family’s history. It became so bad that she feared losing custody of her children.After visiting rehab, Nivea eventually got rid of her cocaine addiction, for which she has expressed gratitude to God.
