Lil Wayne would not classify his replica as a hot boy.
Shortly after a photo of the "6 Foot 7 Foot" rapper's wax figure at the Hollywood Wax Museum in Tennessee went viral, the musician responded to the attempt to capture his likeness.
"Sorry wax museum but dat s--t ain't me!" Lil Wayne wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, Oct. 23. "You tried tho and I appreciate the effort."
The statue of the "A Milli" rapper features him posing with a wide grin while shirtless, wearing a pair of plaid pants and holding a white button-down shirt behind his back.
His candid response comes amid the photo making its rounds on social media once again, with the first time being in a clip shared to TikTok in June 2022. At the time, fans expressed their honest opinions at seeing the image.
"This looks like a bunch of rappers...not so much Lil Wayne," one person wrote. Another added, "It's so general. It's everyone yet no one." Meanwhile, a third user noted, "They had the right idea...but the outcome."
E! News has reached out to Hollywood Wax Museum for comment and has not heard back.
The Grammy winner's commentary also comes just one day after another celeb, Dwayne Johnson, shared his take on his wax replica, weighing in after a museum in Paris unveiled a figure of him that he noted was missing a few key details, such as skin tone.
"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, in part, in an Oct. 22 Instagram post, "And next time I'm in Paris, I'll stop in and have a drink with myself."
In response to the Game Plan actor's commentary, the Grévin Museum assured the figure would be revamped telling Deadline, "Dwayne Johnson is right and we noticed it and will obviously remedy it as quickly as possible and send him new photos once completed."
