Here's What Nicki Minaj Looks Like as a Wax Figure
Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda" music video may not have received the recognition the rapper expected from the MTV VMAs but it will be immortalized in the form of a seductive wax figure. Madame Tussauds Las Vegas paid homage to the video, which last year smashed Vevo's records for most views in 24 hours, by unveiling an "Anaconda"-themed wax likeness of Minaj on Tuesday.
