"That's Mariah Carey": Beyonce wax statue in Madame Tussauds Blackpool sparks massive trolling online

A new wax figure of Beyonce at Madame Tussauds Blackpool has caused a stir on social media. Unveiled alongside a statue of Lady Gaga, they were intended to honor the iconic singers, but it seems Queen Bey's likeness missed the mark.

The wax figure of Beyonce, dressed in one of her classic outfits and sporting her signature curls, seemed to have fans scratching their heads rather than reaching for their cameras.

Instead of seeing the Queen of Pop, many were quick to point out a resemblance to actress Leah Remini. This case of mistaken identity prompted a flood of humorous reactions online, with one user even jokingly dubbing the figure "Mariah Carey."
