Drake joins the star-studded lineup at Madame Tussauds New York with a new wax figure.
Drake is Madame Tussauds New York’s latest celebrity wax figure in Times Square. Monday, July 1 saw Drizzy’s wax figure unveiled as part of the museum’s multimillion-dollar NYC investment. The figure appears on the ‘concert floor’ with Beyoncé, Bad Bunny, and J. Balvin in a New Year’s Eve setting.
Drake’s wax statue is exceptionally detailed. It has braids, white Air Force 1s, pants, a sherpa jacket, and a tee. The figurine has a necklace, diamond earrings, and the OVO hand sign, adding credibility. Fans may see the new addition and consider the likeness.

While Madame Tussauds can often disappoint, Drake’s figure has received good reviews. In contrast, Beyoncé’s statue, debuted earlier this year in Blackpool, England, was criticised for its lack of likeness. However, Jack Harlow’s 2023 Las Vegas wax statue was lauded for its resemblance. The attention to detail surprised Harlow, who said, “That’s nuts. It seems like he’s going to come alive. Good stuff. He’s cut. I want to knock his ass over.”
Madame Tussauds is known for its lifelike celebrity representations. They posted footage of Jack Harlow seeing his wax figure last year. He was amazed and pleased by how well the figure resembled him. “I was worried I was gonna sit here and be like, ‘Okay, this is funny cause it’s like an attempt,’ but it looks just like me,” Harlow said.
Madame Tussauds unveiled two wax figurines of Megan Thee Stallion in May. The museum’s New York and Las Vegas facilities house the figures. Megan tweeted, “I honestly wanted to kiss myself hotties we are officially legendary, go see me at @madametussaudsusa.” She said that being immortalised in wax made her feel like she had “made it” in the mainstream.
Drake’s Madame Tussauds New York inclusion solidifies his cultural icon status. The OVO rapper’s wax figure shows his popularity and influence on the music industry. In New York City, fans can now take photographs with Drake’s lifelike figure inside the museum and commemorate his legacy.
Madame Tussauds honours notable figures from numerous professions for their cultural and entertaining contributions. The museum’s vivid star representations enhance the tourist experience. Drake’s statue is welcome and will draw admirers anxious to meet their idol.
Celebrity appearances at Madame Tussauds are milestones in celebrity culture. Drake uses this honour to honour his accomplishments and connect with followers in a special way.
Madame Tussauds New York remains a must-see for music and pop culture aficionados with Drake’s wax figure. The museum preserves and celebrates stars’ legacy for future generations.
