Zayn Malik Addresses Lil Wayne 'Tha Carter III' and 'Mind of Mine' Artwork Comparisons

The coincidences between Zayn's Mind of Mine artwork and Lil Wayne's Tha Carter artwork are rather apparent. Both records feature smiling childhood photos, with prominent tattoos showing off a dichotomy of self. But, according to Zayn, the coincidences end there, and his "ideas have been with me a long time."

And though Zayn claimed that he didn't want to be a rapper with his Mind of Mine artwork, he did retweet a fan who cited Drake, Nas and Notorous B.I.G. as also incorporating childhood photos in their artwork.

Despite the controversy over the Mind of Mine artwork, Zayn is still continuing promo. While his debut single "Pillowtalk" continues to make waves, he premiered a new song earlier this week on The Tonight Show, the love ballad "It's You."

Mind of Mine will be released on March 25.
