Yesterday, we pointed out the similarities between the cover art of Zayn Malik's (or ZAYN, as he's now known) forthcoming debut album, and that of Lil Wayne's album 'Tha Carter III'.
Both feature a picture of themselves as a child, with tattoos superimposed onto their skin.
It seems that we're not the only ones who've picked up on the similarity, as people have been discussing it on Twitter - so much so, that he has taken to tweeting to defend himself.
I'm not tryna be no rapper , my album is me a child .. My ideas have been with me a long time,

Use your brain, appreciate art don't discriminate what you don't understand

As it happens, Lil Wayne actually features on a remix of Zayn's debut single 'Pillowtalk', which he teased on Snapchat last night.
What do you think - coincidence or homage?
