Nicki Minaj is known for pushing limits. The provocative singer is famous for her sexy persona and songs about sex. So it is no surprise that her wax figure at Madame Tussauds in Las Vegas is a little racy, to say the least.

Minaj’s latest video for her song “Anaconda” is extremely sexual and her pose on her hands and knees in the video has become her new signature pose. Madame Tussauds wax museum thought it would be a good idea to mold Minaj’s wax statue after her now famous pose.

Obviously it was a bad idea on Madame Tussauds part. Minaj’s wax statue at the museum in Las Vegas is causing a lot of issues, as expected. Some fans thought it would be funny to pose inappropriately with the wax figure and the photos have surfaced on social media sites.

I am not sure what Madame Tussauds expected. They put a provocative statue of a star who is know for her sexual ways in Las Vegas also known as Sin City. I am not saying that the fans had a right to pose inappropriate with the statue, but I am not sure why anyone is really surprised by this.

Minaj has gone on social media sites saying that she is honored and loves the statue of herself. That isn’t surprising either because the singer is very full of herself. She also posted a photo of a fan hugging the backside of her statue. So it seems like she doesn’t mind fans posing inappropriately with her wax figure.

So instead of removing the wax figure of Minaj, the wax museum says they are going to beef up security. The establishment has said that the attractions at the museum are interactive and usually guests are respectful. Well, I am sure they are respectful to statues that aren’t so provocative. This was very poor taste on Madame Tussauds part.
