Since a little while it’s not unusual to see Madonna<\/strong> addressing various controversies regarding her performances, looks or appearance on her Instagram<\/strong>. Last night’s tribute to Prince<\/strong> at the Billboard Music Awards<\/strong> was once again polarizing comments – and as usual haters tent to be the most vocal.<\/p>\n

As you may have learnt, Madonna’s performance was even the subject of a “Stop Madonna” petition before the show happened, there were a bunch of negative comments on the social media during the show, and more comments afterwards.<\/p>\n

We’re not sure if with the posts below Madonna was addressing the comments coming from the Twitter<\/strong> <\/a>account of the BET Awards<\/strong>, that will celebrate African-American accomplishments in sports and entertainment on June 26, where a teaser clip posted after the BBMAs announced a Prince Tribute\u00a0with the headline: Yeah, we saw that. Don’t worry. We Got You.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

As a matter of fact, Questlove<\/strong> – who introduced Madonna and Stevie Wonder’s performance last night – stepped out to defend the tribute to Prince on his Twitter<\/strong> <\/a>– \u00a0though without citing the BET Awards promo as the reason\u00a0for his comments. He wrote:<\/p>\n

because of P’s well known love for the *poof* vanishing act. A lot of us are left feeling incomplete in the act of saying goodbye.\u00a0For starters it’s hard to accept him no longer being here. & in the upcoming award season for ’17 there will be a gang of tributes.\u00a0Naturally there will be folded arms & shade thrown because the Purple Standard is hard boots to fill & a lot of us don’t wanna come 2 grips\u00a0—w the fact that Prince–(an on the surface) face of health & invincible agelessness subcomb to something so….friggin basic.
\nSo w mourning will come sadness & anger. 1st week I cried. 2nd week I tried to atone for his sins w gettin 8-10 hrs of sleep he didn’t get.\u00a0Now anger is in the air w who (in our eyes) is allowed to mourn & how they are allowed to mourn.—none of us were prepared for his death<\/p>\n

So I know there is gonna be ALOT of “feel a certain ways” about who you want to see do his music justice—but you gotta put that aside yall.\u00a0Every Prince rendition will not be a life changing orgasmic xperience. Just to SING his work is brave enough. Again feeling are on high.\u00a0And EVERYBODY wants and deserves a chance to say goodbye in their own way. But remember: there will be AMAs, SoulTrain, NAACP, mtv, GRAMMYS. And a gazillion other tributes. But the point is let’s not get ugly w playing the “Prince would and wouldn’t approve” game.<\/p>\n

It’s hard editing and ranting and running in airport. I didn’t realize my gate bout to close. Don’t wanna get fired in the name of Prince<\/p>\n

May We All Live 2 See The Dawn<\/p>\n

….& this isn’t *just about* the Madge\/Stevie tribute btw<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

Madonna<\/strong>‘s comment was much shorter, but not so different:<\/p>\n

Anyone who wants to do a tribute to Prince is welcome to. Whatever your age Gender or skin Color. If you loved him and he inspired you then show it!!!! I love Prince 4 ever<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

She was also inevitably cheecky with another comment and post:<\/p>\n

This is my ” I’m not your bitch don’t hang your shit on me” Dance<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
