An Ohio artist has revealed the world’s very first wax figure of Takeoff, the slain member of ATL-based rap trio Migos.

Mr. Officials, an Ohio native, exhibited the making of the Takeoff wax figure, including stitching Takeoff’s hair strand-by-strand, spray painting, and adding accessories to emulate his appearance on the group’s Culture LP cover. Officials stated that even after his business closed three years ago he faced homelessness.

“This young man I’ve been working on is deceased, and yet I still feel a sense to pray for him. Praying for his soul, praying for his family, friends, and band members. That’s when it hit me: this will be the year that I take off,” he said in the video.

Spot On or Try Again? Madame Tussauds Unveils Aaliyah’s Wax-Figure

Leave a comment

Days before the 18th anniversary of Aaliyah’s death, Madame Tussauds unveiled her wax-figure in their Las Vegas location.

Studios Manager at Madame Tussauds Las Vegas, Adam Morey, says talks about the figure has been going on for the past year and a half, and her brother Rashad Haughton, was very involved in making sure his sister is immortalized the right way.

“I was involved in the process from the inception of the project,” Haughton told VIBE. “The team at Madame Tussauds welcomed a collaborative effort in choosing the pose and look of my sister’s figure. They made sure my mother and I were comfortable and supported through an amazing but understandably emotional process.”

“This set, rather than being a recreation of any one particular Aaliyah moment, was instead designed with a message to her fans in mind,” Morey told VIBE Magazine. “It’s a message that hopefully reflects her everlasting legacy.”

Madame Tussauds recreated Babygirl’s iconic 2000 “Try Again” look, which is a traditional Halloween costume for the past two decades. The figure dons the singer’s leather pants, and bedazzled bra and choker set with her bone straight hair.

“It was clear right away it would be the ‘Try Again’ look for our Aaliyah figure,” Morey said. “The look has the sexy, edgy, timeless vibe we try to imbue in the Las Vegas attraction within all our creative choices. Mining popular culture as only Madame Tussauds can, our desire to honor Aaliyah and the look in this way was only confirmed as we see today’s Hollywood stars like KeKe Palmer, Kim Kardashian, Zendaya, also paying homage by recreating their own favorite moments of the Princess of R&B.”

How do y’all like the wax-figure?

Aaliyah Will Be Receiving a Wax Figure at Madame Tussauds Las Vegas

Leave a comment

This month is usually a somber time for fans of R&B icon Aaliyah, as it marks the anniversary of her untimely death on August 25, 2001 at the age of 22. However, Baby Girl’s estate is hoping to make the occasion feel more special than ever before by announcing that a new wax figure for the multiplatinum award-winning singer/actress will be unveiled at Madame Tussauds Las Vegas.



Announced officially by her memorial social media accounts (seen above) and her brother Rashad Haughton (@radmax6), the wax sculpture has been highly-requested by fans of the “One in a Million” hitmaker for years now via online petitions, and now it finally will come to fruition.

As stated above by the @aaliyah_haughton_official Instagram account, superfans will have a chance to win a chance to attend the VIP launch party in Vegas by showing off their best Aaliyah looks. No word yet on what outfit the official Aaliyah wax figure itself will adorn, but the photo used in the announcement alludes to a look from her 1997 performance for TNT Presents “A Gift of Song.” While it was certainly a memorable night in her career — she even performed onstage alongside fellow pop diva Celine Dion — other looks, like ones from the “Try Again” music video, 2000 MTV Video Music Awards or her final all-white steez in the “Rock the Boat” music video, might be better choices overall. Either way, we can’t wait for the big reveal!

Stay tuned for the official unveil of the Aaliyah wax figure at Madame Tussauds Las Vegas, and enter to win a trip to the launch party by downloading the @AaliyahApp and using the #ShowUsYourAaliyah hashtag to present your freshest Baby Girl ‘fit. Good luck!

Relive “Hotline Bling” Forever By Visiting Drake’s New Wax Figure at Madame Tussauds Las Vegas

Leave a comment

Drake’s lucrative residency in Las Vegas must be going pretty well! It now looks like the infamous party city is honoring their new rap resident with a wax figure at Madame Tussauds Las Vegas inspired by his worldwide smash “Hotline Bling.”



Officially open for public visits, the statue is designed after the music video that became a viral sensation for pretty much all of summer 2015. The details are beyond accurate, all the way down to his OVO-branded sweatsuit and the “Wheat” Timberland boots. The figure will also stand in front of a backdrop duplicated to look like the video’s neon-themed setting, which was infamously influenced by the work of James Turrell.

The months it took to create a dripped-out Drizzy really paid off, which includes everything from data collecting for the most accurate detailing to the tedious task of creating individual human hair follicles for eyebrows and hairlines. Looking sharp!

You can visit the new Drake wax figure right now at Madame Tussauds Las Vegas in The Grand Canal Shoppes (3377 S Las Vegas Blvd Ste. 2001). Let us know if you think it looks like him after checking out the unveiling video below:
