Nicki Minaj’s wax figure will remain at Madame Tussauds Las Vegas museum, Billboard reports.
Stories circulated yesterday (September 9) that the statue would be taken down.
However, a representative from the museum says that the exhibit is only redesigning the set and adding security, as previously announced.
(The original article in this thread was published August 19, 2015 and is as follows.)
Weeks after the Nicki Minaj wax figure at Madame Tussauds Las Vegas made its debut, the wax museum is already calling for added monitoring at the attraction.
The added monitoring comes after fans of the Queens, New York rapper posted inappropriate pictures with the wax figure, which was inspired by a still image from Minaj’s “Anaconda” music video. In some pictures, fans are seen pretending to kiss the figure, while other pictures show fans in sexual positions.
Madame Tussauds Las Vegas issued a statement on Twitter expressing their concern over one photograph in particular. They also promised to add extra monitoring to Minaj’s wax figure, and redesign the set the wax figure is placed on to make it less picture-friendly.
“We have been made aware of the inappropriate photograph that was taken at Madame Tussauds Las Vegas, involving Nicki Minaj’s new wax figure,” the statement read. “Madame Tussauds attractions are interactive, immersive experiences, and our visitors are generally respectful towards the wax figures. It is unfortunate that this visitor decided to behave so inappropriately and we apologise for any offence this has caused. We do have staff monitoring guest behavior in the attraction and do our utmost to ensure our wax figures are treated respectfully…We are taking immediate steps to ensure most staff are present in this area and that the set around this particular figure is redesigned so that a picture like this cannot be taken again.”
Prior to the release of Madame Tussauds statement, singer/rapper Azealia Banks criticized the museum for creating a wax figure with Minaj “bent over on all fours.”
“Wow, they finally give nicki minaj a wax figure and it’s a statue of her bent over on all fours…… White people yo….,” Azealia Banks tweeted last week.
For additional Nicki Minaj coverage, watch the following DX Daily:
Nicki got 2 no.1 albums, drake got 4, rozay got 5, wale got 2, meek got one, and dre after being in the rap game for 30 years, STILL doesn’t have a no.1 album yet? Lol.
Good lord what an idiot. Dre can buy and sell every one of those artists you named
They wisely choose not to associate with dre. Dre crawled to ross for 3 kings. Ross can buy him.
Yeah cause Nicki Minaj and Rick Ross are real hip hop lol
Yes they are. Ross is one of the best gangster rappers around. Nicki is more elective with EDM and R&B influences but is also hiphop.
Dan, you’re wrong about everything. 1. Dre sold more than Nicki, Drake, Ross, Wale, and Meek Mill combined. 2. Those people wanted to associate themselves with him. Ross craweled to Dre for 3 Kings. 3. Dre is a billionaire while Ross isn’t even close to a quarter of a billion. Dre can buy Ross. 4. Rick Ross is not a gangster. 5. Both Ross and Nicki are not “true hip-hop.” Nicki Minaj is a fucking pop star making the same music as Katy Perry.
Plainum albums>>>>>>number one albums
Are you fucking stupid? Or just young?
lol those pics made my day
What did Madame Tussauds expect? Staff or no staff, less people are going to try to hump an upright fully clothed wax figure. The White designers of the statue know this and would never put Madonna or Miley bent over on all fours. White AmeriKKKa and dumb Black men love to call Black women bitches and hoes, but who is hoe here? Because it ain’t the wax figure of Nicki. The no ass getting dirty retarded ass mark trick bitch in the first pic is a hoe and Madame Tussauds is doing the pimping.
Eat a dick ho. She obviously approved them using her likeness in that fashion. You fucking eggplant.
Isn’t she just a wax figure anyway? It looks like it hurts for her to just…exist. Like if she turns her head it will hurt. She has fake face parts, fake hair, fake tits, fake ass, she’s doing the Beyonce by whitening her skin to look like a white chick. Poor thing. The one time she tried to look “Natural” fresh out of the bath, she ended up looking like Bolo from Bloodsport.
Her music….obviously barely worth mentioning
That’s how she portrays herself in her music, it’s a shot from her OWN VIDEO! All she ever talks about is her ass, and clearly doesn’t respect herself, so let her get disrespected…F it…. She can get Anacondas all day erry day now!!!! “Somebody point me to the best a$$ eater”…right this way miss! hahahaha
In my country we have beautiful black women with real big asses, riding an elephant or walking around butt naked.
Drake and Lil wayne flipped nicki minaj just like waka and gucci. I heard meek just in it for the bread and head. ross damn near passed her to meek he just aint know until he put it in the media. then after he started getting known more from it. He thought he could call out drake. jay z got mentioned by drake because he’s like get your boy ross. basically son’n meek indirectly. These hoes be goin don’t think niggas say M.O.B. for no reason. shit happens mfs aint real in the media
I’d makes some good money being nicki’s pimp
That’s what you need with all those court shit right now : money by any means.
I would of took a pic with my face buried in them ass cheeks. that’s for sure where my face would be in real life if i ever got the chance.. face first..
