2009-12-16-diddwaxDiddy joined a elite list of celebs on Tuesday (December 15), when he was immortalized in wax by the Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in New York City.

The music mogul's wax counterpart was dressed in a white tuxedo jacket and black pants, the same outfit he wore in an ad for his I Am King fragrance campaign.

Diddy attended the unveiling with his mother, sister, nephew and son Justin. He told MTV he credited it all to his mother.

"I wanna thank my mother, she was the originator of the wax figure," Diddy said. "It's hard to explain looking at yourself like this," he continued. "They did an excellent job."

Diddy thought it was maybe a little too good. He told the network it was so lifelike it was a little "scary -- scary in a good way."

According to MTV, Diddy said he had to stand still for three hours in front of the sculpting team while they captured his likeness. While some celebs are captured from past photos of themselves, Diddy chose to go with how he looks now.

"I went with the most recent likeness of myself," he said to MTV. "They wanted to do me live, how I was. It wasn't like I could give them an old shot. What you see is what you get. This is the first time I'm seeing it. It's to my liking. It looks very realistic -- one of the more realistic ones."

Diddy is among some of big figures to get a wax replica of themselves at the Madame Tussauds Wax Museum. Others include Snoop Dogg, Jamie Foxx, Notorious B.I.G., and Michelle Obama, among others.

He thinks hip-hop stars like Eminem, Jay-Z and Lil Wayne need to be next in line.

Yes – They relly captured his ugliness – I wonder did they get that Gigantic Booty he has for a Man – and them poorlyu tailored suits to cover it up – if they got that right then they deserve a pulitzer
