Nicki Minaj fans have had enough of her wax booty getting violated by visitors at Madame Tussauds…


The Barbz figure, which features the vixen on all fours, mimicking a pose from her “Anaconda” music video, was unveiled earlier this month in Las Vegas. The rapper even dubbed it “iconic.” Unfortunately, it appears that it was only a matter of time before drunk Vegas patrons felt the urge to misbehave with the figure, some capturing quite a few obscene moments for all of social media to see.


Minaj retweeted a fan’s tweet to the museum of an image featuring a man with his face all up in her wax rump. “Srsly they need to stop.” read the caption.

Madame Tussaud later released a statement saying, “We have been made aware of the inappropriate photograph that was taken at Madame Tussauds Las Vegas, involving Nicki Minaj’s new wax figure… It is unfortunate that this visitor decided to behave so inappropriately and we apologize for any offense this has caused.”


They concluded by saying, “We are taking immediate steps to ensure more 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.”

Minaj later tweeted fans for getting results: “I don’t think u understand how I’m laughing right now. Like rlly Hittin ppl up, getting answers and s–t like wtf” adding, “Like I’m off in my own lil world n yall on here gettin results like how r u so cute?”

As previously reported, not everyone was thrilled that Minaj was awarded with a wax figure, let alone the news that it is being redesigned.

Earlier this month, Azealia Banks tweeted, “Wow, they finally give nicki minaj a wax figure and it’s a statue of her bent over on all fours…… White people yo….” She later added, “As much as that woman has accomplished, they had to put her on all fours… Why not standing up with a mic in her hand??? I would complain and ask for a do-over. That’s such underhanded shade. Martha Stewart’s most iconic moment was when she went to jail but they didn’t put her wax figure in a jail uniform… Come on y’all… All ppl are gonna do is go up to that statue and take pictures shoving their crotch in her face and putting their crotch on her butt. That’s not nice. I don’t feel good about that. But if u like it I love it.”
