This Baby Looks Just Like John Legend and Folks Don’t Know What to Do With It!

It’s not everyday a celebrity lookalike pops up that looks this uncanny, but for John Legend and this viral TikTok baby, that’s exactly what’s happened! Let’s get into it.

Singer John Legend may sing about “Ordinary People,” but there’s a truly unordinary phenomenon that’s taking over social media, and it has to do with him and his alleged young dopplegänger. And believe us when we say, this story is just too cute and too good to be true!

Now, if you’ve spent any time on TikTok here recently, then you may have already come across user and comedic actor King Keraun. In particular, you may have also seen his recent video jokingly petitioning for people to stop saying how much his baby looks like John Legend.

“I’mma need y’all to do me a favor, y’all know I don’t really ask for much. So I don’t think this’ll be too much to ask: stop calling my son John Legend. Yeah, it’s not funny,” he said.

He later continued: “It doesn’t feel good, OK? The boy already don’t look like me, he look just like his mama. And now y’all talking bout some damn John Legend. Somebody DM’d me and said ‘give me the green light.’ Nigga, I blocked him. I blocked his ass. [Don’t] play with me like that.”

While you may see the resemblance off first glance, allow this side by side to really make the case.

See! You mean to tell us that’s not a little Legend?? A junior John? That baby looks like it’s about to belt out “All Of Me” at any moment, just give him a little snack and his bottle. But if you don’t believe us, then believe the myriad of other folks online who are fully convinced.

“I was thinking it, but I didn’t say it…he’s not John Legend.. he’s just an ordinary person,” one user joked on TikTok.

“Well now I can’t unsee it,” said another.

One user questioned, “By chance is the mama related to John Legend? Idk, I just wanna sing ‘baby when I used to love you.’”

Said another, “He looks just like John legend without the haircut.”

Another user said, “Not him smiling every time you say John legend.”

Joked one other person, “Sorry John Legend Jr.”
