A New Drake Wax Figure Is Unveiled at Madame Tussauds New York: See How Fans Are Reacting
Drake will forever be immortalized in the Big Apple, as the 6 God has received a wax figure at Madame Tussauds New York.
As part of the multimillion-dollar investment into the Times Square staple, the concert floor experience has been taken to another level, and the latest addition was the unveiling of the 6 God’s wax figure on Monday (July 1).
The music area’s theme essentially recreates the energy behind a lively New Year’s Eve in NYC with confetti-engraved floors, countdowns and bright lights across the room with tunes bumping from speakers.
Drake’s realistic wax figure finds him rocking crispy white Air Force 1s, tie-dyed jeans and a patterned sherpa jacket over a distressed T-shirt. Accessory-wise, the creators of the wax figure kept the OVO boss clean with a diamond chain, a bracelet and earrings, and went with the braids for his hairstyle. They even have Drizzy throwing up his signature OVO sign with his hands.
“It’s good but the only problem I see are the eyes,” a fan wrote in reaction to seeing Drake’s wax figure on X. Another chimed in: “As if drake could look anymore plastic.”
One more added: “Idk why but this s–t creep me out. It’s better than Lil Wayne’s statue tho…”
Other sculpted A-listers on the music floor include Harry Styles, Dua Lipa, Megan Thee Stallion, J Balvin, Bad Bunny, Beyoncé, Anitta and more.
“Our new music experience is one of those magical spaces within the museum that guests are immediately drawn to, so we’re confident the reimagined area, which is more immersive than ever, will bring a new level of excitement to the experience,” marketing manager at Madame Tussauds New York Eliza Rose said in a statement. “Plus, with so many A-list musicians surrounding you, who wouldn’t feel like a star here?”
