Drake Debuts at Madame Tussauds: Fans Divided on Waxy Likeness
Madame Tussauds New York has unveiled its latest addition: a wax figure of chart-topping rapper Drake. This figure aims to capture Drake’s signature style, placing him in a recreation of a New Year’s Eve concert in Times Square.
Clad in a khaki shacket, distressed gray tee, and black and khaki tie-dye jeans, the wax Drake strikes a familiar pose – the iconic owl hand sign, a symbol of his OVO brand. Social media, however, has been abuzz with mixed reactions to the figure’s likeness.
Some fans seem impressed, praising the attention to detail in Drake’s outfit and signature pose. They appreciate the inclusion of the owl hand sign, a detail that allows fans to recreate photos mimicking Drake’s iconic gesture.
However, others aren’t convinced by the resemblance. Comparisons online range from “not bad” to comments suggesting the figure bears little resemblance to the actual Drake. Some online jokes even propose the figure looks more like other celebrities entirely.
Whether it’s a spitting image or a miss, one thing’s for sure: Drake’s wax figure has sparked conversation. It highlights the challenge wax museums face in capturing a celebrity’s essence, and the subjectivity of what constitutes a successful likeness. Only time will tell if Drake fans ultimately approve of their idol’s waxy counterpart.
