While her dude gets pummeled in a rap tete-a-tete, Nicki Minaj is getting elevated to icon status. Though the full bottomed rapper's "Anaconda" video didn't get her a Video Music Award nomination, it got her something else: a wax statue.

For those of us who aren't going to get a chance to meet the artist in real life, the next best thing is to come face to face with a mock-up. Unveiled today in typical Madame Tussads splendor, Minaj's facsimile took over six months and 20 sculptors to to do her derriere justice according to reports. If your anaconda is so inclined to take a peek, pop out to the Las Vegas museum which will have the work on permanent display in their music room.

Definitely seems a VMA snub isn't the end of the world.
