The rapper commended Pigeon Forge for attempting to create his likeness for their Hollywood Wax Museum, but admitted 'that sh*t ain't me.'

Hip-hop artist Lil Wayne was recently honored with a wax figure of his likeness, unveiled at the Hollywood Wax Museum in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.

While he appreciated the effort, the "Main One" rapper was none too pleased by the execution, and we can't blame him.


On October 23, RapTV shared an image of his wax figure on X (formerly Twitter), and it went viral for all the wrong reasons.

Social media users thought that the end result of fake Lil Wayne standing shirtless and revealing his body tattoos bore absolutely no resemblance to the real Lil Wayne.

Not even close.


According to People magazine, the figure has been on display since 2022, based on a TikTok video that went viral.

Lil Wayne?!? Look like Lil Cane #fyp #waxmuseum #lilwayne #pigeonforge



Fans didn't hide their true feelings.







Some even trembled at the sight of it.






It didn't take long for the 41-year-old rapper to weigh in.

He said in a Monday X post:

"Sorry wax museum but dat sh*t ain’t me! You tried tho and I appreciate the effort."

Fans were here for the real Lil Wayne's response.






The scrutiny followed a similar situation with a wax figure of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson at the Grévin Museum in Paris.

After social media users criticized the waxwork for looking too "White-washed," Johnson demanded that it be updated "with some important details and improvements−starting with my skin color."

Trump Ripped For Hypocrisy After Claiming He 'Doesn't Know' Who Crypto Founder He Just Pardoned Is

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed during a sit-down interview with 60 Minutes correspondent Norah O'Donnell that he doesn't know who Binance cryptocurrency exchange founder Changpeng Zhao is despite pardoning him less than two weeks ago.

In 2023, Zhao pleaded guilty to violating anti–money laundering laws after Binance allegedly failed to report suspicious transactions involving groups such as Hamas and al-Qaida. He later apologized, paid a $50 million fine, and served nearly four months in prison before being pardoned by Trump.

Gavin Newsom Expertly Trolls Trump Administration With Parody Spirit Halloween Costume Memes

California Governor Gavin Newsom had social media users cackling after he, in a series of photos on X, mocked Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. with photoshopped meme versions of Spirit Halloween costumes.

Noem, who has led the nationwide immigration crackdown that continues to tear apart families around the country, is the "Border Barbie" of one meme that pokes fun at her for shooting her dog, her penchant for bringing camera crews wherever she goes, and the way South Park writers lampooned her in one of its most widely-seen episodes this year.
