Kanye West wax figure removed from public view at Madame Tussauds

London museum moves figure of US rapper to archive room following recent antisemitic and anti-black remarks

Madame Tussauds has removed its wax figure of Kanye West from public view - becoming the latest institution to effectively drop" the US rapper following antisemitic and anti-black remarks.

The landmark London museum moved the figure of the rapper - who has legally changed his name to Ye - to an archive room, a symbolic representation of his fall from grace over the past few days, during which he lost his talent representation, connections to major fashion houses and other lucrative relationships.
