Lil Wayne has shepherded many a burgeoning act, Drake, Nicki Minaj and Tyga among them. And sometimes, when a protégé has spread his or her wings, they may find the opportunity to poke fun at their mentor, which appears to be the case in an upcoming episode of Kevin Hart's BET show Real Husbands of Hollywood, as a video has surfaced of Tyga dressed up exactly like Wayne.

The above Instagram video comes courtesy of The Shade Room and shows Tyga with long dreads, an open bathrobe exposing the waist band of his underwear and a Cheech Marin looking mustache that may not fit the Wayne get-up perfectly but adds to the hilarity of it nonetheless.

The fake reality show wrapped up its fourth season this past February, and Tyga, though a mainstay in Hollywood and Los Angeles has yet to appear in the series. Artists like Nelly, Nick Cannon, Jeezy, Common, Snoop Dogg and more have all starred in an episode at one point, with Tyga (and, in a way, Lil Wayne) adding to the roster of hip-hop acts. Tyga's previous acting credentials include a role in the Barbershop: The Next Cut as a gang member known as Yummy and one in the 2015 film Dope.

Check out Tyga's Wayne impersonation up top. Considering the close working history the two have, it will be interesting to see if Tyga is as good at copying Wayne's vocals as well.
