Lil Wayne has joined the chorus of voices denouncing a new wax figure that failed miserably in capturing his likeness.
An image of a questionable Weezy F. Baby statue from the Hollywood Wax Museum in Pigeon Forge, TN quickly went viral on social media. While some recognized the figure as an attempt to resemble Wayne, it fell short of capturing his true essence.
The statue managed to replicate Wayne’s intricate tattoos accurately, but when it came to his face, it missed the mark. Many thought it bore a closer resemblance to Toosii with dreads rather than the Young Money boss himself.
“Sorry wax museum, but that thing ain’t me! You tried, though, and I appreciate the effort,” Wayne tweeted to the curators.
Social media users were even less forgiving than Wayne, following the similar dragging they gave the recently unveiled, and equally strange-looking, wax figure of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson earlier in the week.
Notably, The Rock himself offered personal hands-on assistance to fix the flawed wax figure displayed at a museum in Paris.
Whether Wayne is up for the same challenge remains to be seen. But perhaps it’s best to leave these things to the professionals at Madame Tussauds.
