Blueface Makes Headlines for Choking Zendaya’s Wax Figure
Rapper Blueface seems to be enjoying life since his release from prison last November, but his recent antics have raised a few eyebrows. On Thursday, he visited Madame Tussauds Hollywood and shared videos on social media showing himself getting a little too close to some of the wax figures.
In one clip, Blueface appeared to “choke” a wax figure of Zendaya while shouting at it. He didn’t stop there—he also spent time leaning on a wax figure of Kylie Jenner. At one point, he jokingly told his friend to stop filming him with his “girl” as he whispered to the silent statue.
Fans quickly noticed the clips, which spread across social media, sparking both amusement and criticism. While Blueface seemed to be having fun for his online audience, the museum staff were not impressed.
A spokesperson for Madame Tussauds told reporters they were disappointed by the behavior. “Our attractions are meant to be interactive but respectful,” the representative said. “This behavior is not tolerated.
We are reviewing the footage and will take the necessary steps to maintain our standards.” They also emphasized that the Zendaya wax figure, playfully called “Wax-Daya” by fans, is off-limits for physical contact.

The incident, while unusual, has little effect on the real Zendaya, who is having one of the busiest and most successful years of her career. The 29-year-old actress is currently promoting her romantic drama The Drama alongside Robert Pattinson, which is set to hit theaters this April.
This film is just one of five major projects she is working on this year, spanning multiple genres and showcasing her versatility. In July, Zendaya will appear as the goddess Athena in Christopher Nolan’s highly anticipated epic The Odyssey.
Later in the year, she will return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as MJ in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, reuniting with her fiancé, Tom Holland. The couple, who officially confirmed their engagement last year, remain one of Hollywood’s most admired pairs, often praised for their support of each other both on and off screen.
Beyond acting, Zendaya recently debuted a bold new pixie haircut for a Louis Vuitton campaign celebrating the brand’s 130th anniversary. Fans are also eagerly awaiting her return as Rue Bennett in the third season of Euphoria, which is set to premiere this spring after a long hiatus.
At the end of the year, she will reprise her role as Chani in Dune: Messiah alongside Timothée Chalamet, marking yet another high-profile project in her rapidly growing career. Despite her hectic schedule, Zendaya remains focused on her craft while also preparing for her upcoming wedding.
Her ability to balance major film projects, fashion commitments, and personal milestones has cemented her status as one of Hollywood’s most respected and versatile stars. While Blueface’s wax museum antics have grabbed attention online, it’s clear that Zendaya’s focus is firmly on her work, her upcoming marriage, and continuing to dominate the film and fashion worlds.
