Apparently rapper loving Pop singer Madonna has a new album dropping called Rebel Heart. But the Internets didn’t appreciate her using images of icons like Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King, Jr. to promote the project.
Reports TMZ:
Madonna is defending photoshopped images of Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela she posted on Instagram … claiming the pics were never intended to insult anyone.
If you missed it … Madonna posted a series of pics on her page Friday — showing the faces of Mandela, MLK and various icons bound with black string — like the cover of her new album “Rebel Heart.”
Following an online backlash — where some longtime fans swore they were done with — Madonna took to her Facebook to defend the pics … saying, “This is neither a crime or an insult or racist.”
It does seem like very poor taste, no?
