Comedian Lil Duval has sparked laughter across social media with a throwback photo that appears to show him alongside the 16th president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, during their college days. The image, shared on Instagram, shows two young men posing together in what looks like a vintage photograph from decades ago.
The Presidential Connection “Claim”
In his caption, Duval humorously wrote: “Funny u say that 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 this ain’t AI or photoshopped either (and yes he was black but we kept it on the low so he could become president).” The post quickly gained attention from fans amused by Duval’s claim of a secret connection to the former president.
The image shows two young men in what appears to be a college-era photo. While one resembles a young Abraham Lincoln, Duval jokingly implies that he was the other person in the picture, suggesting they had a friendship that predated Lincoln’s rise to political prominence.

The comedian seems to be on a nostalgic posting spree, with another recent share claiming: “I bet yall ain’t know i was one of the original rich kidz. But they kicked me out when they found out i wasn’t a kid 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 @richkidz4l.” These posts follow Duval’s signature comedic style of inserting himself into various cultural moments and groups with tongue-in-cheek humor.
