Madame Tussauds museum has decided to remodel rapper Nicki Minaj's wax work. Ever since the model was unveiled, there had been a number of incidents of visitors groping the statue. The museum called the visitors' inappropriate behaviour "unfortunate". The figure, which displays a scantily-clad Minaj in a provocative pose, was made based on the rapper's music video for Anaconda. One visitor posed with her tongue about to lick the figure's derriere, reports aceshowbiz.com.
