Nicki Minaj Wax Figure in Germany, Was Just Unveiled.
Nicki Minaj’s wax figure made its European debut at Madame Tussauds in Berlin on Tuesday. Much to their horror, many of the rapper’s fans saw photos of the statue for the first time.
The wax figure, which attempts to clone the 37-year-old artist in her 2014 “Anaconda” music video, is permanently perched on all fours in a black thong, gold beaded top, and strappy heels. While the outfit matches the music video, the figure’s face doesn’t resemble the rapper’s appearance.
The replica initially debuted in 2015 at Madame Tussauds in Las Vegas, and the “Barbie Dreams” rapper reportedly called the statue “so iconic” after it was revealed. She even reposted a photo of fans posing with the figure to her Instagram and captioned the post, “Naw b—- hold on” with laughing emojis.
The figure’s 2020 European stop marked the first time that many of the “Truffle Butter” rapper’s fans saw the statue, and some were initially very confused.
Others found the statue to be “disrespectful” and were frustrated with the discrepancies between the real life rapper and the replica.
