‘He Has Lauren’s Something, I Just Don’t Know What’: Fans React to Lil Wayne and Lauren London’s Son Kameron’s Striking Resemblance to His Father

Fans are floored after seeing how much Lil Wayne and Lauren London’s son Kameron has grown to look like his father.

The two celebrities are the proud parents of the 12-year-old who is seldom seen on social media, let alone a red carpet. But oddly enough, the latter is exactly where fans got their most recent glimpse of the tween and his father.

The “Mirror” rapper attended the 2022 Espys along with his eldest son Kameron. Both the rapper and his son were rocking black outfits, and as far as most fans are concerned, they were both also wearing the same face

“Copy and paste,” wrote one person on social media reacting to photos of the father-son duo.

Another wrote, “Lmao strong genes man all his kids look like him.

A third commented, “Wayne makes some cute kids.”

Lil Wayne also has three other children from previous relationships including daughter Reginae with his ex-wife Toya Johnson. His son Dwayne is with former partner Sarah Vivan, and his son Neal is with the singer Nivea. But genetics isn’t all Kameron got from his father. Apparently, the soon-to-be teenager also has his father’s lyrical talent.

“Kam raps really well, but I don’t know if he wants to do it because I think it comes too easy for him. I mean, he like freestyles like crazy, and he can make his own songs,” said London on Angie Martinez’s podcast “Angie Martinez IRL.” Instead, the tween has his mind set on managing money. “He’s really good with numbers and math. He wants to be like a finance guy. He’s like, ‘I’m going to be’ — he loves numbers,” London added.

Fans obviously see there is no denying the familial tie shared between Lil Wayne and Kameron, but more than a few people made sure to give London her props for playing a part in the tween’s looks. 

“Kameron is a perfect mix of him and Lauren omgg,” wrote one person.

“Him and Lauren got a 50/50 baby fa sho,” remarked another person.

A third however was undecided on what traits London contributed. “He looks just like him but he has lauren’s something, i just dont know what,” the person wrote.

Another group of commenters could not help but to see London’s longtime partner Nipsey Hussle when looking at Kameron. “How he look like Wayne, Lauren & Nipsey? Lol cutie pie!!” read a comment from one of those individuals. 

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
