Blueface is back in the headlines for all the wrong reasons after a chaotic trip to Madame Tussauds Hollywood turned into a viral controversy.

The “Thotiana” rapper visited the famous tourist spot on February 12 and shared clips that showed him doing way more than just posing for pictures. While the museum is known for its interactive setup, Blueface took things to an uncomfortable level by flirting with a Kylie Jenner figure and getting physically aggressive with Zendaya’s wax likeness.
The most alarming footage shows Blueface sitting across from the Zendaya figure, modeled after her 2020 People’s Choice Awards look, before suddenly lunging forward to grab the statue by the throat. As he “choked” the inanimate figure, he spoke aggressively to it while laughing for his friends’ cameras. Before that, he was seen cozying up to the Kylie Jenner figure and whispering comments into its ear, jokingly telling his cameraman to stop filming him with his “girl.”
Madame Tussauds was quick to shut down the idea that this was just harmless fun. A spokesperson for the museum made it clear that while they want people to enjoy the exhibits, there is a standard of respect that must be followed.
“We have been made aware of the incident. Madame Tussauds attractions are interactive experiences, and guests are expected to treat the figures with respect,” they told TMZ. The museum is now reviewing the footage to decide how to handle the situation, adding, “This behavior is not tolerated. We are reviewing the incident and will take appropriate action to uphold our standards.”
Blueface has never been one to shy away from a viral moment, but this particular stunt might cost him his access to the Hollywood landmark permanently. Given the craftsmanship and high cost of these figures, the museum takes any physical “assault” on their property seriously.
Whether this results in a lifetime ban or a bill for damages remains to be seen, but it’s safe to say Blueface won’t be invited back for a ribbon-cutting ceremony anytime soon.
