Wax head, I’ll be missing you.

A wax replica of rap mogul Sean (Diddy) Combs was decapitate­d Saturday night at Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum near Times Square.

“An unidentifi­ed male pushed it to the ground causing the head to be decapitate­d from the body,” an NYPD spokesman confirmed.

The nearly 10-yearold statue was intentiona­lly knocked down around 8:45 p.m., according to authoritie­s who cited no reason for the attack and made no arrests.

The “I Need a Girl” hitmaker is a New York native born in Harlem, just a couple miles uptown from the scene of the crime. He seemed to be in good spirits Friday, tweeting “I hope you’re having a blessed day” to no one in particular.

Combs attended the unveiling of the statue in December 2009, along with friends and family, according to Guest of a Guest. “Curtis the Barber,” Combs’ personal stylist, reportedly helped style the hair of the statue.

Madame Tussaud did not reply to a request for comment.
