After a petition was put together by his adoring fans, Romeo Santos finally has his very own wax figure displayed in New York City. The unveiling of the “Imitadora” singer’s figure was also the first ever opening of a new experience in the Madame Tussaud’s NYC museum called Sabor Latino, a display dedicated exclusively to Latin music. His wax twin will join the ranks of J.Lo, Selena and Ricky Martin and we have his dedicated fans to thank for that!
