Madame Tussauds in Las Vegas have been forced to add extra security and rethink the staging of a model of singer Nicki Minaj - because the public were acting in an inappropriate manner around it.

But Madame Tussauds Las Vegas have received notice of lewd behaviour around the figure, which was reported to be of an overtly sexual and degrading nature.
The management have released a statement on Twitter, in which they explain that they have 'been made aware of the inappropriate photograph' and that they feel 'it is unfortunate that this visitor decided to behave so inappropriately'.
