| Nicki Minaj Wax Statue |
People of the Internet are nothing if not opportunists when it comes to photo ops. So, when a wax duplicate of Nicki Minaj on all fours, inspired by her “Anaconda” video, was erected for Madame Tussauds wax museum in Las Vegas, it was only a matter of time before the selfies with wax Nicki got distasteful for the sake of likes and retweets.
Within a week, Nicki herself had gotten a few laughs out of the trend, sharing this photo on Instagram.
Nicki Minaj is an artist our visitors told us time and time again they wanted to see in the attraction, so we were thrilled to be able to add her figure to Madame Tussauds Las Vegas. We made the decision to celebrate Minaj’s unforgettable pose inspired by the “Anaconda” video because—thanks to her artistry and charisma—it resulted as one of the most iconic videos ever produced. The pose itself recreates an
image Minaj published on her own social media channels as a teaser for the video. As with all people we immortalize in our attractions, her representatives were kept informed every step of the way during the figure-creation process and, once it was unveiled, Minaj herself repeatedly expressed her love of the figure on social media, calling the display “so iconic” and indicating her desire to come see it in person. Since unveiling Minaj’s figure and the “Anaconda”-inspired experience earlier this month, our visitors have responded with overwhelming positivity, and it has since become one of the most popular additions in the attraction.
