Madonna may be a lot of things: a music icon, an envelope pusher, someone who loves to pose naked. But the legendary singer has come out and said she is not Nelson Mandela. Or Martin Luther King, Jr. Or Bob Marley. The artist is in scolding hot water these days after publishing photos of these famous figures impersonating the cover of her new album, “Rebel Heart,” implying (to many) that there’s a similarity between herself and these world changers. In response to the criticism, Madonna has taken to Facebook and offered up the following explanation: I’m sorry. I’m not comparing my self to anyone. I’m admiring and acknowledging there Rebel Hearts. This is niether a crime or an insult or racist. I also did it with Michael jaclson and frida khalo and marilyn monroe. Am I saying I am them? NO. I’m saying they are Rebel Hearts too. And I didn’t do it. My fans did. And I just re posted those photos. My fans aren’t racist either. If they put me in the same category as these other people. Thank you. I’m very flattered and I hope one day to live up to 1 100th of what those people accomplished. Madonna then included a new pictures of John Lennon and Princess Diana (above) Photoshopped as a “Rebel Heart.” What do you think, readers? Is Madonna still crossing a line by including these activists in her album promotion? Or does this scandal pale in comparison to past Madonna scandals, such as when she referred to the vegetable kale as gay ? 10 Controversial Photos of Madonna 1.
