On January 22, Lil Wayne posted a picture of himself on Instagram with child model Celina Powell. In the picture, Wayne is holding Powell on his lap. They grinned and turned to face the camera.
The caption just says “@celinaapowell”—Powell.
The shot was praised for its sweetness, but others attacked Wayne for taking it with a girl.
USeers remarked, “Wayne is a great dad,” “You two look great,” and “The photo is so cute.”
“This is inappropriate,” “Wayne is a pe/d///ophi/le,” and “He needs to be arrested” were some of the other responses.
Wayne did not address the criticism.
Wayne has been criticized for his interactions with underage girls before. In 2013, he was condemned for dating a high school girl.
Wayne never married but has four children with four w/o//m//en.
