The wax figure is the same sculpture of Nicki Minaj that debuted at Madame Tussauds Las Vegas location in 2015.
Tussauds' figure is modeled after one of Minaj's many looks from the music video for her 2014 smash hit 'Anaconda.' The wax statue wears a gold-chain bustier and black spanks with hair pulled back in a long ponytail.
This isn't the first time Minaj's wax figure has generated headlines. Shortly after its Las Vegas debut, fans took to posing explicitly next to the statue, leading Madame Tussauds to announce they would increase security near the exhibit and redesign it in order to prevent visitors from taking lewd photos.
Upon the figure's unveiling in Berlin, some of Minaj's adoring fans said the wax figure looked nothing like the New York rapper. Hundreds of people took to social media to share their opinions of the sculpture, with many claiming it looked more like a woman of Asian or Spanish decent as opposed to Minaj, who was born in Trinidad and Tobago.
"When did @NICKIMINAJ turn into #Pocahontas? Who created this thing, Helen Keller? She's so much prettier than this. They ever [sic] get these things right. Maybe it's time to stop the whole wax figure thing," one person on Twitter wrote.
