Lil Wayne did not hold back after a new wax figure of him was revealed at Hollywood Wax Museum in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.
The 41-year-old rapper — who recently discussed artificial intelligence — took to social media app X to share his thoughts on the replica after a photo went viral.
‘Sorry wax museum but dat sh*t ain’t me! You tried tho and I appreciate the effort,’ he wrote online.
The model was complete with the Louisiana native’s signature head of locked hair and his assortment of tattoos.
The imitation also featured a diamond-encrusted grill that was visible as the figure’s mouth was molded into a wide smile.

Backlash: Fan reactions to the Lil Wayne wax figure were swift
It comes after Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson had a similar experience with a newly unveiled wax figure of himself.
The actor, 51, took to social media to reveal he would be contacting The Musée Grévin in Paris after the controversial waxwork came under criticism from fans.
People were concerned about the statue’s seemingly lighter skin tone, with the star noting that he would be asking for the skin color to be ‘updated.’
He responded to the reveal in an Instagram post poking fun at the figure, but added that he would reach out to the museum to have the artwork tweaked with some ‘important details and improvements.’
Dwayne reposted a video by comedian James Andre Jefferson Jr, who lightheartedly made fun of the replica.
He said: ‘That’s how Paris think he look. They turned The Rock into a pebble. It look like The Rock ain’t never seen the sun a day in his life. Whoever the artist is don’t need to do no type of art.’
Johnson, amused by the commentary, reshared the video and added a caption sharing his thoughts.
The Jumanji star wrote: ‘I knew my boy @jamesjeffersonj had this Rock wax statue in his roasting crosshairs. Legit belly laughed at this.’
Not impressed: One person wrote on X, ‘It must have been done by AI because what level of wizardry is this?’
Obvious fail: Another person joked, ‘Ray Charles can see that ain’t him’

‘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,’ he wrote online.
He went on, ‘And next time I’m in Paris, I’ll stop in and have a drink with myself,’ adding a wink emoji.
The post, which has so far received over 183,000 likes, saw fans express their disappointment and confusion at the creation.
One fan wrote, ‘Looks awful. No character to it at all,’ while another said, ‘They made The Rock look more like The Sourdough Loaf.’
