Thanks, But No Thanks: Fans Launch Petition To Boot Madonna From Billboard’s Prince Tribute

Madonna Prince Billboard Petition Welp! Some Prince fans are demanding that Madonna share her Prince tribute at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards. They’ve started a petition on Change.org that reads, “We cannot let Madonna be the main and only artist tributing Prince during the 2016 Billboard Awards. He is more than worthy of a better choice as a main performer. Please sign and share this petition so that we can get a proper tribute on May 22, 2016. Timing is tight! Spread the word.” One petition supporter suggests Lenny Kravitz, Mint Condition, Sheila E. or Chaka Khan be part of the planned tribute. Madonna worked with Prince for her 1989 album Like A Prayer, performing the duet “Love Song.” Prince also played rhythm on the title track. Do you think Billboard should’ve went in another direction?
