Beyoncé Fans Call Out Madonna Over Ill-Conceived Social Media Post

Madonna shared a Photoshopped image of Bey and Jay-Z admiring her album covers. And she captioned it "Learning from the Master . . . lol."

The Beyhive is pissed at Madonna.

On Friday morning, the 59-year-old entertainer hit up social media with an altered image taken from Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s new music video for “Apeshit.” The original still frame showed the power couple admiring a wall of paintings inside the Louvre; however, Madonna’s Photoshopped image replaced the museum’s actual framed artwork with her most recognizable album covers. Though it wasn’t the most clever post, it wasn’t wildly offensive … that is, until you read Madonna’s caption.

“Learning from the Master . . . lol,” she wrote.

Do we really need to explain how Madonna royally screwed up? You would think a white person—especially one who’s in the public eye—would know better than to refer to herself as a “master” when using the image of two black artists.

Madonna eventually changed the caption of her Instagram post to, “Learning ..............lol,” but her fate had already been sealed.
