We’re not going to go as far as this TikTok user who thinks Memphis rapper GloRilla and rapper/actress Lil Mama are the same person. But we can definitely see the resemblance.
Lil Mama, Bow Wow and GloRilla
Lil Mama (L), Bow Wow (C), GloRilla (R)
And the longer we look at them side by side, we think they could definitely be Bow Wow’s cousins.
Keri Hilson and LaLa Anthony

When it comes to actress/television personality La La Anthony and singer Keri Hilson, the eyes have it.
Rihanna and Andra Day
Andra Day (L), Rihanna (R)
Andra Day won a Golden Globe for her portrayal of Billie Holiday in “The United States vs. Billie Holiday.” But when she showed up on the GRAMMY red carpet in 2018, folks couldn’t stop comparing her to Rihanna.
Anthony Anderson and Michael Strahan
Michael Strahan (L), Anthony Anderson (R)
Michael Strahan once joked that he and Anthony Anderson were “separated at birth.” We wouldn’t go that far, but they sure do like kin!
Michael Ealy and Lenny Kravitz

With a pair of sunglasses and a gorgeous head of hair, Michael Ealy could pull off a pretty good Lenny Kravitz impersonation.

Somebody get her an afro wig! We can’t get over how much actress and comedian Wanda Sykes resembles fierce 70s icon, Pam Grier.
Zora Neale Hurston and Queen Latifah
Zora Neale Hurston (L), Queen Latifah (R)
We don’t know if Queen Latifah has a classic American novel in her, but looking at these photos side by side, we can’t deny how much she looks like iconic author Zora Neale Hurston.
Janet Jackson and Halle Bailey
Janet Jackson (L), Halle Bailey (R)
It’s hard not to look at singer, actress and new mom Halle Bailey and think about the queen of Rhythm Nation herself, Janet Jackson.
Thandiwe Newton and Zoe Saldana

Believe it or not, even Zoe Saldana’s mom thinks her daughter bears a striking resemblance to British beauty, Thandiwe Newton, as she mentions in this clip.
Dwyane Wade and Sinqua Walls
Sinqua Walls (L), Dwyane Wade (R)
Fans can get over how much White Men Can’t Jump’s Sinqua Walls looks like NBA star Dwyane Wade. Even the movie’s script points out the resemblance!
Phaedra Parks and Ultra Naté
We can see the resemblance between RHOA star Phaedra Parks and dance diva Ulta Naté. What do you think?
Kirk Franklin and Plies
Plies (L), Kirk Franklin (R)
During an appearance on The Breakfast Club, Kirk Franklin joked about the constant comparisons between him and rapper Plies. But can you really blame folks for thinking they’re related?
K. Michelle and Keyshia Cole
Keyshia Cole (L), K. Michelle (R)
We’re so glad R&B singers Keyshia Cole and K. Michelle put their long-time beef behind them in a 2021 Clubhouse chat. Now we just need them to make some music together!
Terri J Vaughn and Robinne Lee
Terri J. Vaughn (L), Robinne Lee (R)
We don’t know about you, but we think Terri J. Vaughn, who played our favorite secretary Lovita Alizay Jenkins-Robinson on The Steve Harvey Show, looks a lot like Hav Plenty actor and author Robinne Lee.
