Fans React to Drake’s Wax Figure: Praise and Criticism Abound
The reveal of Drake’s wax figure on July 2 has sparked a wave of reactions from fans, both positive and negative. The wax figure, dressed in a khaki jacket, gray T-shirt, black and khaki tie-dye jeans, white Air Force 1 sneakers, and Drake’s signature jewelry, has been the subject of much debate. In a video posted on Instagram, fans were seen mimicking the rapper’s iconic owl hand sign, showing their enthusiasm for the new addition.
While some fans have praised the figure for its striking resemblance to Drake, with one Instagram user commenting, “That looks identical to him,” others have been less impressed. Another fan humorously remarked that the wax figure “looks better than Drake,” suggesting that the sculptors might have outdone the real-life rapper.
However, not all reactions were positive. Some fans expressed their disappointment with the figure, with one user harshly commenting, “That’s not Drake, that’s rake,” highlighting their dissatisfaction with the representation.
Despite the mixed reactions, the new wax figure of Drake is sure to be a popular attraction at Madame Tussauds New York, drawing both fans and curious onlookers to see the latest addition to the museum’s star-studded collection.
