Nicki Minaj fans all over the world can collectively breathe an immense sigh of relief tonight.
On Wednesday, various news reports came out saying that the recently installed wax figure of Nicki Minaj at Madame Tussaud’s Las Vegas — which caused a fair bit of controversy — would be taken down, but it appears those reports jumped the gun.
No, the figure will remain, in place, they just changed the layout to make it a bit less perv-friendly. As one might expect, Minaj’s ample posterior, which she famously rapped about in “Anaconda,” is brought to life in quite a vivid fashion with the figure. Here’s the image of it that Minaj recently tweeted out:
See? It’s perfectly fine. The only problem is that a lot of creepy people wanted to put their hands on the statue, and fondle poor Wax Nicki in every fashion imaginable. Like this guy:
Oh, leak_deezy, won’t you ever learn?
Due to a preponderance of people taking poses like this, the museum installed a low wall on the back end of the statue to prevent people from posing with it from behind:
So, Wax Nicki will remain for us to admire in all her glory. Madame Tussaud’s simply adjusted the display so that her admirers might be a bit more respectful when gazing upon her, which, sadly, is a necessary precaution these days.
