It’s not uncommon for parents to argue about which side of the family gets to take credit for their child’s looks. However, sometimes the answer is so obvious, it’s undeniable. Hollywood is full of examples of Black celebrities with kids who are their spitting image. But the resemblance does not stop at their looks—these lookalike kids are iconic in their own ways. We’re taking a deep dive into celebrity children who are practically their parents’ clones.

The resemblance between Damon Wayans Jr. and Damon Wayans is crazy. If they both shaved and told folks they were twins, no one would question it. This father-son duo doesn’t just look alike; they’re both hilarious.

Now this one is scary: Who is Ice Cube, and who is O’Shea Jackson Jr.? Talk about a spitting image! Jackson Jr. even played his dad in the 2015 film “Straight Outta Compton,” and if we’re being real, who else could’ve played it?

Chilli and her son, Tron Austin, have truly left us speechless. Looking at the 29-year-old is like looking at Chilli’s reflection in the mirror. If there is ever another TLC biopic, just slap a wig on Austin, and the casting is done! He already has a rock career that’ll give him the singing background he’ll need.

Erykah Badu and her daughter, Puma Sabti Curry, not only look alike but also have a nearly identical sense of style. They are both rocking bright pink lips and have jawlines to die for.

There is no denying Jaden Smith is Jada Pinkett Smith’s son when he has her exact cheekbones, eyes, and nose shape. Did Will’s genes even try?

While Will Smith’s genes might have lost the battle with his son, Jaden, he gave his entire face to Willow Smith. She might have her mother’s eyes, but that is where the resemblance ends.

Maybe the age-old saying that the oldest daughter takes after her dad is true. Everything from North West’s outgoing personality and wild fashion sense to her dislike of the paparazzi reminds us of her iconic dad, Kanye West.
