‘His Little Twin’: Lil Wayne Posts Pic of His and Lauren London’s Son, Fans Can’t Get Over How Much He Looks Like the Rapper

The answer to “Who does this child look like more?” isn’t up for debate when it comes to Lil Wayne and Lauren London‘s son Kameron.

The now 10-year-old looks adorable in the throwback image, rocking Kobe Bryant’s basketball jersey and matching shorts, while holding a ball of his own.

“8.24 2! Mamba forever,” Wayne captioned the pic in celebration of Bryant.

The late Kobe Bryant’s 42nd birthday was on Aug. 23. The internet was filled with tributes from family, friends, and fans on the day, however, Wayne decided to commemorate his friend on Kobe Day, the date representing his jersey number 24 and jersey number 8, which Bryant wore earlier in his Lakers career.

The retired Los Angeles Lakers star, who tragically died in a helicopter accident in January, and the Young Money rapper were good friends. Wayne released “Kobe” in 2009 in honor of his homie and performed the song in his memory at the BET Awards in June.

Little Kameron’s picture was a dose of cuteness that brightened fans’ day.

“I thought that was wayne for a second,” commented a follower.

“Say he looks like you @LilTunechi lol damn near thought it was you for a sec in ya younger days,” a second agreed.

“Why I thought his was a baby picture of him BYE 😭,” laughed a third.

“Literally little Wayne with Lauren’s dimples 😍😍😍😍,” stated a fourth.

Both Wayne and London have largely kept Kameron out of the spotlight, but lately the “Lollipop” rapper has been sharing a bit more of his usually private life. Kameron’s parents did such a good job protecting him from the public that some fans just learned they even had a child together, thanks to the image.

“Whatttt ? They gotta son together ??” one shocked fan wrote.

“forgot they even had a child tbh,” another was reminded.

“They gotta son????” a third asked in confusion.

In addition to his usual posts promoting his music and podcast, more recently the “Mrs. Officer” rapper has been sharing more images of his three youngest kids (Kameron, 10-year-old Neal Carter, and 11-year-old Dwayne Carter III), and his fiancée La’Tecia Thomas.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
