well everyone on every social media platform tore madonna a new one.
( x remember this entry )
well she quickly apologized for those pictures she put up on her instagram.
yes.
she apologized.
no you are not dreaming.
this is what she told people via essence…
Madonna has apologized after receiving backlash for posting photoshopped images of Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela and Bob Marley.
According to People, the star posted an apology to her Facebook page for the images that depict the music and civil rights icons with black cords covering their faces.
The images were posted to promote her new album, RebelHeart, in which she appears on the cover with the same black cords across her face. She has also posted similar images of notable figures including Michael Jackson, Jean Michel Basquiat and Princess Diana.
“I’m sorry,” Madonna wrote in a Facebook post. “I’m not comparing myself to anyone. I’m admiring and acknowledging their Rebel Hearts.”
She also defended the posts, saying, “This is neither a crime or an insult or racist!”
Madonna says that although the pictures are the works of her fans, she stands behind them.
“I didn’t do it. My fans did. And I just re posted those photos. My fans aren’t racist either. If they put me in the same category as these other people, thank you. I’m very flattered and I hope one day to live up to 1/100th of what those people accomplished.”
damn.
i didn’t think madonna would ever apologize for her attentionista ways.
well kinda apologize.
well i can see it may have been genuine,
but this is madonna we talking about.
there is always a method to her madness.
lowkey: i thought she was beefing with lady gaga.
whats this:
article taken: essence
pictures taken: instagram
I’m surprised she apologized too. So many adults nowadays act as if their too prideful to apologize. Damn tho, this is what, her third time having to apologize for her social media stupidity. I still remember when she referred to her son as “my nigga” or something like that. She knows what she’s doing.
I’m not quite sure what’s going on between her and Lady Gaga. They constantly throw digs back and forth at each other. Their fans/stans are always going at it. I find it odd because they did a skit together on SNL a few years ago. At some point, they started trashing each other and accusing each other of copying.
I don’t feel that she was being racist but I was a little offended by the pictures.
