During the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards on Monday night (August 20), Madonna took the stage to pay tribute to Aretha Franklin.
But, rather than talking about the late Queen of Soul’s storied history, Madge went on for roughly 10 minutes telling her own rags-to-riches story.
Dressed in Malawi garb and adorned with African jewelry, the pop superstar recalled her New York City origins when she living in a crackhouse and being mistaken for a prostitute.
Of course, Twitter erupted with seemingly endless posts about the “tribute,” calling out the Material Girl for what was perceived as D-I-S-R-E-S-P-E-C-T.
Check out the reactions from The Cool Kids’ Chuck Inglish, Thelonious Martin and more below. [apple_news_ad type=”any”]
Fuck White People.
People like you are the problem. Racist pos causing the racial divide. FK you and Madonna.
I agree, I love me some white pussy
If you bumped into that on a dark night ????♀️?♂️?♀️⚰️
Are you white? I am – I tend to agree but this one is all Madonna .
Black people being cry babies as usual
Loser azz racists pop up on a black site to say things about black folks they’d NEVER say to their faces.. u a clown for real!!
It’s a Hip Hop site you dumb fuck not a black site. White people where involved since day 1, and even if they weren’t every single fucking element of Hip Hop is derivative, muthafuckas act like Hip Hop invented Djing, Poetry, Dancing, and Grafitit LMMFAO!!!
Poppa don’t preach it was white girl who said that now she outta style like bubble coats and fitted caps -Sean Doe
Blacks will cry about anything. Lol
Funny how everyone jumps on the Aretha bandwagon after she dies. Her last big hit was 33 years ago when many of these so-called number one fans were either a child or not even born yet. She passed 5 days ago. These artists who supposedly consider her their biggest influence could have easily put together their own tribute performance for MTV. Where were their tributes?
So she was the original Jay Z you mean.
All of these fucking whining rappers FOH!!!
How many of you muthafuckas actually featured Aretha? Not sampled where a label gets the money, how many actually featured her in the last 45 years?
Where where you with feature offers when she almost lost her house for failing to pay her taxes?
Exactly Hip Hop, now stfu and sit down.
LOOKS LIKE SHE WAS TUSSLIN’ WITH A DREAM CATCHER!!!! LMAO!!!! STUPID WHITE BITCH!!!!
