WTFlocka?! Doesn’t Notorious B.I.G.’s wax figure look like a combination of the real life Biggie and the rapper who played him in his biopic Notorious, Jamal ‘Gravy ‘ Woolard?
The life-size wax figure of the slain east coast rapper stands at Madame Tussauds in New York on the ninth floor where guests can approach the figure and use parts of their body to break moving multi-colored light beams to trigger clips of Biggie’s songs to play. It was unveiled back in Oct. 27, 2007 with his mother Violetta Wallace in attendance.
“It is such an honor to have my son’s memory memorialized in such a grand way by Madame Tussauds. Their prestigeously recognized attraction showcases the history of many great men and women the world abroad and I’m touched that they have embraced my son Christopher amongst them. My family thanks you for this beautiful statue symbolizing the legacy of a great man!”
“Biggie is a cultural icon and we are thrilled to have his wax figure in our attraction,” said Bret Pidgeon, Acting General Manager of Madame Tussauds New York. “We are also honored to have Ms. Wallace here for the unveiling and cannot thank her enough for supporting us throughout the figure creation process. We can’t wait for our guests to see and interact with Biggie’s figure, which we think is one of our best figures yet.”
