Lil Wayne, an American rapper, has finally talked about how he became a big reason why other singers got face tattoos.

Wayne says it’s great to see other people who look like him. For him, it’s like seeing his kid come out of the room looking just like him.

The singer of “Mirror” recently talked to Billboard about the 50th anniversary of hip-hop and how it has changed over the years. He was asked to say how it makes him feel to see new rappers copy his style and songs.

“Sometimes people ask me how I feel about everybody looking like me, everybody getting tattoos, etc. That’s like seeing your kid come out of the room and looking just like you; it feels amazing. So the visible influence is kind of obvious because I know for a fact I didn’t get this look from anyone. There was no one that inspired this look. I just ran into looking like this.”

During the interview, Lil Wayne also named Jay-Z, UGK, Missy Elliot, Goodie Mob, and Biggie as his top five singers. NME says that he is ranked seventh on Billboard’s list of the best hip-hop acts.
