AceShowbiz - Lil Wayne has reacted to his wax figure at the Hollywood Wax Museum. Shortly after a photo of his statue went viral, the "Feelin' Like Tunechi" rapper did not hold back in calling out the museum to share his opinions on his figure.
On Monday, October 23, the 41-year-old hip-hop artist made use of X, formerly known as Twitter, to respond to his viral wax figure at the museum in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. In a tweet, he simply penned, "Sorry wax museum but dat s**t ain't me!" Though so, he still voiced his appreciation to the curators. He wrote, "You tried tho and I appreciate the effort."
It did not take long for the tweet to be flooded with responses from X users, who compared his statue to other famous stars. In the replies section, one in particular stated, "It is like Tory Lanez face, with your tattoos, all over lighter skin, makin no sense lol." Meanwhile, another chimed in, "They got you lookin like Bob Marley as a Munchkin from Wizard of Oz bruh smh."
The comments did not stop there. A third appeared to have defended the museum by writing, "It coulda been worse though. they just gotta do some adjustments," adding a smiling face with tears of joy emoji. All the while, a fourth asked, "How do you guys not go back-and-forth with something important like this? How does not have like a final OKAY From the artist .. that don't make ANY SENSE."
The wax figure itself tries to resemble Wayne with details, including his tattoos all over his upper body and his long dreads. However, the figurine was not able to make the face similar to that of Wayne. In addition, the statue has a white shirt with small black dots worn around its arms, a pair of red-and-blue plaid pants, beige boots and several layers of necklaces.
Wayne's figure went viral shortly after actor Dwayne "The Rock'' Johnson's statue was criticized. Dwayne's fans claimed that his new figure, which was debuted by The Musee Grevin in Paris on October 16, does not resemble him as it lacks his darker skin tone. The statue is dressed in a blue Polo shirt, a pair of blue jeans and a black belt.
On Sunday, October 22, Dwayne reacted to his own figure and demanded the museum to change his waxwork's skin color. "For the record, I'm going to have my team reach out to our friends at Grevin Musem, in Paris, France so we can work at 'updating' my wax figure with some important details and improvements - starting with my skin color," he penned via Instagram. "And next time I'm in Paris, I'll stop and have a drink with myself."
