Madame Tussauds in Las Vegas earlier this month revealed a wax statue of Nicki Minaj, which was based on the female rapper's "Anaconda" music video.
Nicki Minaj dubbed the statue as "the first of its kind," and that's definitely true - as male fans have gone to visit the statue and taken some hilarious photos.
Twitter user Captain Pajamas even had a perfect description for Nicki Minaj's male fans: "Y'all really need to chill with this Nicki Minaj wax figure."

While another user by the name of Christian posted a few photos of himself with the wax figure, in various poses. He tweeted, "HEY WAX NICKA @NICKIMINAJ."

The photos have received a lot of attention, including one from Nicki Minaj herself. Reposting a photo on her Instagram, she captioned: "Ok u know da fuq wut," with a lot of laughing-crying emojis.

However, not everyone is happy about Madame Tussauds' latest creation. Azealia Banks recently posted a series of tweets about it.
"Wow they finally gave nicki minaj a wax figure and it's a statue of her bent over on all fours...... White people yo," Azealia Banks first tweeted, which has since been deleted.
Her next tweet read, "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 ???" Azealia Banks also said: "I would complain and ask for a do-over. That's such underhanded shade."
You'd think that was the end of it, but Banks didn't stop: "Martha Stewart's most iconic moment was when she wento 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 picture shoving their crotch in her face and putting their crotch on her butt," Azealia Banks said in another tweet.
Madame Tussauds Las Vegas has also issued a statement about the viral photo of a man imitating sexual intercourse with the wax figure, which says:
"We have been made aware of the inappropriate photograph that was taken at Madame Tussauds Las Vegas, involving Nicki Minaj's new wax figure. Madame Tussauds attractions are interactive, immersive experiences, and our visitors are generally respectful towards the wax figures. It is unfortunate that this visitor decided to behave so inappropriately and we apologize for any offense this has caused. We do have staff monitoring guest behavior in the attraction and do our utmost to ensure our wax figures are treated respectfully, but on this occasion clearly one of our hosts was not present. 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."
It's unlikely that Madame Tussauds will be shelling out money for a re-do on the statue, so here's to hoping that Azealia Banks is satisfied with Madame Tussaud's actions regarding the issue.
