The Louisiana-born rapper has been massively influential to the music community and has been regarded by some as the best rapper alive.
However, a wax figure of the artist has begun doing the rounds on social media - and not for the right reasons.
The figure is from the Hollywood Wax Museum in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, and has been on display at least since the summer of 2022 but recently garnered intense criticism from X, formerly known as Twitter, users.
While the model should be praised for the attempt to capture much of Lil Wayne’s body art, the face and stature of the rapper appear to be off.
“That don’t even look like him. That’s an old model of someone else. They just threw tattoos on it and a Tyler Perry wig & called it a day,” one X user commented on an image of the wax model.
While many X users shared confused images of the rapper suggesting this is how he would react to the model, there has been no word on whether Lil Wayne has even seen the figure.
Oddly enough, another waxwork sculpture has also been doing the rounds on social media, but this time it's of Dwayne The Rock Johnson.
The figure of the former wrestler, from the Grevin Museum in Paris, caused such a stir that the Rock himself even weighed in on the debate.
While there is some resemblance to the Fast and Furious actor, in that it appears to be a muscular bald man, the notable difference is how light his skin is.
He wrote: “Knew my boy James Andre Jefferson Jr. had this Rock wax statue in his roasting crosshairs,” Johnson wrote in the caption of the video. “For the record, I’m going to have my team reach out to our friends at Grevin Museum in Paris France so we can work at ‘updating’ my wax figure here with some important details and improvements — starting with my skin color."
