The Las Vegas Madame Tussauds has brought in extra security to monitor a new waxwork of Nicki Minaj - after a swarm of inappropriate pictures taken with the statue have been posted online.
The newly introduced figure is based on the rapper’s infamous pose in her video for ‘Anaconda’. Since it was revealed last month, fans have been eager to take pictures with the waxwork. However, many pictures have been taken depicting crude sexual positions.
Take a look at a few examples below if you must:

The museum said that occurances like this were "unfortunate" and apologised for any offence caused. Madame Tussauds has brought in extra staff to monitor visitors and also plans to "redesign" the figure too.
The museum explained that "guests" were "consistently asking" it to add Nicki to its collection and that twenty artists spent six months sculpting it.
Angel Haze weighed in on the creation of the waxwork, predicting what inevitably occurred.

Last month, Nicki Minaj accepted Taylor Swift's apology after a heated VMA nominations race debate. She said, "she gained so much more respect from me. Let's move on."
