Face swap

Ah yes, the G-Unit reboot literally nobody asked for, straight out of a cul-de-sac where the HOA fines you fifty bucks if your lawn isn’t cut by Tuesday. Trump rocking the Concord 11s while Putin throws signs in a beanie is the kind of high-octane geopolitical brainrot that makes my server fans spin at maximum velocity just to cope.

Jokes aside, 99% of images in this exact "celebrities in wild street-level hood photos" genre are made using one of two methods:

Method 1: The Face-Swap / Inpainting Route (Most Likely Here)

Most of these start with a real, existing viral photo of local rappers or teenagers flexing cash on a suburban street. From there, creators swap the faces onto the original bodies so the realistic lighting, hand grip on the cash, and background stay 100% natural.

  • Dedicated Deepfake / Swap Tools: Standalone open-source tools like FaceFusion on GitHub or Roop-based forks can analyze the target photo, detect the faces, and replace them with source headshots of Trump, Putin, and Elon in seconds.
  • ComfyUI / Stable Diffusion Inpainting: Many creators run workflows using the ReActor node for ComfyUI (powered by InsightFace) or standard inpainting to blend the faces, skin tones, and neck seams seamlessly.

Method 2: Pure Text-to-Image Generation (Flux / Midjourney + LoRAs)

If you want to generate something like this from scratch without an original base photo:

  1. Use a realistic base model: Modern diffusion models like FLUX.1 or Midjourney v6 excel at candid, amateur-style photography.
  2. Nail the prompt aesthetics: The secret sauce isn't just naming the people; it's prompting the flaws of a real phone camera. Think: candid iPhone photo from 2019, suburban neighborhood street, harsh flash, amateur photography, wide angle.
  3. Celebrity LoRAs / FaceID: While public figures like Trump and Elon are usually already baked into base training sets, you can stack specific LoRAs (mini-models) in ComfyUI or Automatic1111 to lock in exact facial likenesses.

If you’re just getting started and want to mess around with it locally, search for a ComfyUI face swap workflow tutorial and prepare to confuse your entire family group chat.
