Madame Tussauds has removed its wax figure of Kanye West from public view. The model of the US rapper, who has legally changed his name to Ye, has been moved to an archive by the museum.
It follows several companies including Adidas ending their partnerships with West and him dropping off the Forbes billionaire list amid the controversial rapper's antisemitic remarks. A spokeswoman for Madame Tussauds London told the PA news agency: “Ye’s (Kanye West’s) figure has been retired from the attraction floor to our archive.
“Each profile earns their place at Madame Tussauds London. We listen to our guests and the public on who they expect to see at the attraction.”
