Nicky Minaj upset that museum visitors disrespect her wax figure,museum adding guard

The famed wax museum blamed the decision on just one bad egg, without naming the particular incident, but social media images show a baker's dozen of pranksters posing in naughty ways.




In the most obvious example, a man posed as though having sex with Minaj from behind. Other visitors posed grabbing or licking the figure's buttocks.

"Why must yall b this way," Minaj wrote on Twitter with a sad face emoji about a picture of a woman with her mouth to the figure's behind.

When another woman posed with her tongue on the figure, Minaj commented, "naw b---- hold on."

She makes a very nice living by flaunting her amazing body. Does she really expect everybody will receive her message exactly as she intends?

"Why must y'all be this way?" Because YOU are THAT way, Nicki! I mean, how do you THINK you got famous enough to be the subject of a Madame Tussauds wax statue -- SINGING for a living???

E Online (8/20):...Upon seeing Minaj's wax figure...earlier this summer...rapper Azealia Banks...express(ed) her disgust with how Madame Tussauds decided to position the "Starships" performer. "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?" she tweeted last week.

Sure she's "accomplished" a lot, but very little of it was based on her "standing up with a mic in her hand!"

What do they do with the wax figures of people who aren't famous anymore?
