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.
Check out some of the reaction's to Madonna's slip-up below.
