Madame Tussauds sever ties with Kanye West amid controversy
Kanye West wax figure removed from Madame Tussauds following his antisemitic remarks
Kanye West wax figure has been removed from Madame Tussauds following his insensitive remarks about Jews created worldwide controversy.
The rapper's sculptor was taken to the archives after the famous wax museum received multiple complaints from guests and members of the public.
"Ye’s figure has been retired from the attraction floor to our archive," a spokesperson for the museum said.
"Each profile earns their place at Madame Tussauds London and we listen to our guests and the public on who they expect to see at the attraction," the statement added.
Several brands, including Balenciaga and Adidas, dropped Ye after he wrote in a since-deleted tweet that he was “going death con 3 [sic] On JEWISH PEOPLE” while sparking global backlash.
West's figurine was placed at the popular hotspot alongside his ex-wife Kim Kardashian in 2015.
