During the reveal on ESPN, Lil' Wayne told of how he used the photograph without telling his mum. 

"I'm sorry mum. I know personally that she don't really like that picture of herself cause she's not looking in the camera" he said. 

But the artwork is in keeping with other childhood photos found on his album covers. 

"I always go with a baby picture and I wanted to go with one with my mum on it this time." he said. "This album means a lot to me. People been waiting on this album and I'm just at the point in my life and stuff to have my mum on there. It's more than an accomplishment, it's an achievement".
