Lil Wayne wax figure goes viral, rapper seemingly responds: 'You tried'

A wax figure of Lil Wayne has gone viral again after the rapper seemingly reacted.
"Lil Wayne?!? Look like Lil Cane," a TikTok user captioned a video in June 2022 of the wax replica at the Hollywood Wax Museum in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Another person posted a similar clip in September of the figure at the museum's location in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The clips have received a new wave of attention.
The 41-year-old rapper (real name: Dwayne Michael Carter Jr.) seemingly reacted to the museum's attempt on X, formerly Twitter. "Sorry wax museum but dat (expletive) ain’t me!" he wrote Monday.
He added: "You tried tho and I appreciate the effort."
It's unclear when the museum first displayed Lil Wayne's wax model or how many of their locations include the "A Milli" rapper.
Lil Wayne's wax figure garnered attention after another celebrity Dwayne, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, reacted to a replica of himself at a museum in Paris.
Johnson, 51, shared a video on Instagram Sunday from comedian James Andre Jefferson Jr., who roasted The Rock's wax model at the Grévin Museum for not matching the figure's skin tone to the "Black Adam" star.
Jefferson joked that The Rock looked more like "a pebble," David Beckham or a member of the British royal family because of the light complexion.
"If this how y’all felt when you lost 'The Little Mermaid,' I understand," the comedian said, in a cheeky reference to the backlash Halle Bailey faced as a Black actress portraying Ariel in the live-action Disney film.
In his caption, Johnson said he "legit belly laughed" at "The Little Mermaid" remark.
"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," Johnson added. "And next time I’m in Paris, I’ll stop in and have a drink with myself."

The Grévin Museum has since taken down its Instagram post of the wrestler-turned-actor's wax model.
"Our artists are already working on improving the waxwork of Dwayne Johnson. Your feedback is always valuable to us," the museum stated on its Instagram Story Monday.
