Drake has a new wax figure on display at Madame Tussauds Las Vegas immortalising his "Hotline Bling" era and fans think it's eerily realistic.
Madame Tussauds Las Vegas has unveiled a wax figure of Drake and it looks more like Drake than Drake himself.
On Wednesday (June 19), the Las Vegas location of Madame Tussauds announced that a new Drake wax figure immortalising the rapper's "Hotline Bling" era was available for guests to visit. Drake joins other celebrity figures in the location, including Miley Cyrus, Beyoncé, and Tupac.
People were impressed by the figure, with some joking that it wasn't wax at all, but the rapper himself. Others thought that the Madame Tussauds figure looked more like the rapper than even he does.
Naturally, people also brought up a recent wax figure of Ariana Grande which was heavily scrutinised online back in May.
Are you sure that's a wax figure... i pic.twitter.com/0cKQNzz2uT

The wax figure perfectly nails the rapper's signature style, portraying him in an OVO hoodie and a gold Rolex.
In a press release, the museum said that "the interactive display will give visitors an opportunity to "create their very own, Insta-worthy videos alongside Champagne Papi himself."
We're not going to lie. If we saw this on someone's Instagram we'd think we were looking at the real deal.
