If white people weren’t predictably bad, according to Banks, then Minaj would simply be standing tall, mic in hand being the postergirl for all this, instead of booty bouncing on the ground.

Earlier this month, Nicki Minaj was honored by Madame Tussauds museum with a wax figure. “Martha Stewart’s most iconic moment was when she went to jail but they didn’t put her wax figure in a jail uniform…”
But now, fellow femcee Azealia Banks criticized its creation and the use of a pose from the video for “Anaconda”.
And while you may cry, “Stop nit-picking, it’s just a wax figure”, remember that this will be the permanent representation of one of the strongest black females in pop culture to millions of Tussaud tourists for, uh, forever. “Had no idea they were really doing this”.
Although Banks spoke out in support of Minaj, recognizing both her talent and accomplishments, the pair don’t have the best history. Online, the “212” rapper took to Twitter to voice her thoughts on the figure to her followers Wednesday. And she found it especially offensive that it was on all fours.
Minaj is a six-time Grammy nominated artist who is constantly belittled in the media, portrayed as a insane person with a big butt.
Nicki Minaj and Azealia Banks have been in a feud since 2012.
However, Banks did admit that “Anaconda” was a “good video” and said, “I think she’s talented enough and has worked hard enough to not play the game anymore”.
