Young Money just got even younger. These two youngsters get our vote for best Halloween costumes as miniature versions of Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj. The little boy went as Weezy from the VMAs, complete with leopard jeggings, long dreads, red Converse sneakers, shades, and drawn-in tattoos. And his counterpart made an adorable Nicki Minaj, rocking a purple wig, Barbie chain, fly boots, and a doll. They’re so cute, we just want to take them home.
Halloween is still a day away, but the stars got into the spirit early by dressing up for the weekend festivities.
