A waxwork of Canadian rapper Drake is the newest to feature in London’s Madame Tussauds – and it’s actually lookin’ pretty decent.
The life-sized wax version of the Hotline Bling rapper will be chilling with wax creations of Stormzy, Freddie Mercury and Amy Winehouse in the attraction’s Impossible Festival Music Zone.
Wax Drake wears a camouflage t-shirt and cargo trousers, and is styled on the 36-year-old musician’s legendary surprise appearance alongside Future at the Wireless Festival in September 2021.
The waxwork also has a green parachute bomber jacket and white Nike Air Force 1 trainers along with replica jewellery from Cartier and Van Cleef.
And the artistry on his face is looking pretty darn spot on if you ask us.
Tim Waters, general manager at Madame Tussauds London, said: ‘Drake has shown his love for London on numerous occasions with his surprise appearance at Wireless Festival being just one example of this.

‘There is no denying that the Canadian rap superstar is a music icon, with countless awards and numerous nominations under his belt, including at this year’s Brit Awards.
‘We know that our guests will be sure to take care of Drake as he becomes a keeper at Madame Tussauds London.’
No, the wax Drake will not be a weird Night At The Museum keeper of the other celebs which stand creepy and frozen in the central London tourist attraction, but Tim is referring to Drake’s 2022 song A Keeper, and Take Care is a nod to his second album from 2011 of the same name.

Although he hails from Toronto, Drake’s London roots go deep.
In 2019, the rapper revived Top Boy on Netflix as he was so upset that the London crime drama had been axed, after two seasons aired on Channel 4 from 2011 to 2013.
Drake, whose real name is Aubrey Graham, has previously won two Brit Awards, for best international male solo artist in 2017 and 2019.

On Sunday, he also picked up his fifth Grammy for best rap/sung collaboration for Wait For You.
The Drake figure can be seen at Madame Tussauds London from Friday February 10.
