NEW YORK, NY – New York Police Department officers are on the hunt for a vandal who got so angry at Diddy’s Madame Tussauds’ wax statue, he began screaming at the figure before going on the warpath and beheading the lifeless object when he shoved it to the ground.
The bizarre incident occurred near Times Square around 8:45 p.m. local time on Saturday (February 16) according to the Associated Press.
Reportedly, $300,000 worth of damages was caused.

Weirdly enough, this isn’t the first time a Hip Hop Madame Tussauds wax statue has been violated. In 2015, the museum had to rope off Nicki Minaj’s “Anaconda” display after tourists repeatedly conducted lewd acts while posing for photographs.
