Madame Tussauds unveils a Nicki Minaj wax figure and people are unimpressed [photo]

Madame Tussauds has launched a wax figure of popular American rapper, Nicki Minaj but the figure looks nothing like her.

The wax figure was unveiled at Madame Tussauds Berlin on Tuesday, 7 January.

It is clear that the figure was modelled after the rapper’s seductive look from her Anaconda video. She is appropriately clothed in a black thong, gold beaded top and strappy heels. Her barbs, however, were unimpressed with the likeness.

Shortly after the pictures of the new figure was shared online, they took to Twitter to share their reactions – many of them hilarious – to the figure.

The barbs pointed out that her skin tone was darkened and her generous figure lessened.

This is not the first time that the establishment has come under fire for their awkward takes on celebrities. In 2017, Twitter took up arms over a wax figure of Beyonce that was not aesthetically pleasing.

This figure of Nicki Minaj was originally launched in 2015 at Madame Tussauds Las Vegas. Back then, Nicki Minaj reportedly called the figure “so iconic” after it was unveiled.

She even shared a picture of fans lewdly posing with the figure and captioned the post, “Naw b**ch hold on,” with laughing emojis.

This is the first time, however, that her fans will see it, and they were very disappointed, something they shared in as many tweets.
