The two entertainers were performing at the Coachella on Sunday when, at the end of the performance, the 56 year old Madonna walked over to where Drake was sitting on a chair, pulled his head back and planted a big wet one on the 28 year old.
At first, Drake was an active participant and began caressing Madonna’s head. But something happened in the nearly 4 seconds kiss that caused utter repulsion as Drake is seen wiping his mouth as soon as the experience ended. At that point, Madonna was already model-walking off stage, unaware of the horror she caused Drake.
The singer uploaded a snapshot of 13-year-old Rocco Ritchie boxing on Friday night, with the offensive epithet used in a hashtag accompanying the photo.
“I am sorry if I offended anyone with my use of the ‘n-word’,” she said in a statement issued on Saturday.
“It was not meant as a racial slur. I am not a racist. There’s no way to defend the use of the word.”
Madonna’s comment was swiftly deleted from her Instagram account after some of her 1.1 million followers berated her for using the hashtag “#disnigga”
She later re-posted the same photo on Instagram, with a defiant (and largely unprintable) new caption that began: “Ok, let me start this again.”
On Saturday afternoon however, Madonna deleted the post entirely, and instead released a statement through her publicist, saying “forgive me”.
“It was all about intention,” she continued. “It was used as a term of endearment toward my son who is white.
“I appreciate that it’s a provocative word and I apologize if it gave people the wrong impression.”
Besides Rocco, Madonna has three other children, including Lourdes, David and Mercy. Her two youngest were both adopted from the African nation of Malawi.
The star came under fire earlier this month for posting a separate picture of Rocco on New Year’s Eve, in which he and his friends posed with bottles of alcohol.
Madonna responded: “No one was drinking, we were just having fun!
“Calm down and get a sense of humour! Don’t start the year off with judgement!”
Madonna seems to have it all when it comes to fame and her career.
While she is living a lavish life these days, it turns out that she was taken to rock bottom when she was just 19 years old, right before her fame days came.
In the newest issue of Harper’s Bazaar, Madonna opens up about moving to NYC for the first time and being raped on top of a roof at knife-point.
In the last two decades of her fame, the “Like A Prayer” singer finally reveals details about a night she will never forget.
She tells the mag:
‘New York wasn’t everything I thought it would be. It did not welcome me with open arms. The first year, I was held up at gunpoint. Raped on the roof of a building I was dragged up to with a knife in my back.’
‘I was defiant. Hell-bent on surviving. On making it. But it was hard and it was lonely, and I had to dare myself every day to keep going,’
“Just because you’re paranoid and you think they are after you…doesn’t mean they’re not after you.”
A healthy dose of suspicion and skepticism never hurt anyone. In fact, you might say that its good for you. If you believe in Einstein’s Theory of Evolution, the human genome would have never made it outside the primordial soup if it hadn’t had a basic hunch (well, as much a hunch as a complex, organic polymer could have) to access the hostilities of a new environment and gradually mutate, adapt and conform to it. Its in our DNA to be suspicious of things that “just don’t smell right.”
Grounded in our primitive nature is the capacity to be wary of the bigger, more powerful among us (predators) conspiring against the weaker, smaller among us (prey). We like to use words like “civilized” and “cultured” when describing ourselves, but in actuality we use them to convince ourselves that we are no longer the ‘animals’ that we once were. But our Merriam Webster definition of those adjectives do not do much to subdue a compulsion to behave the exact opposite. WE ARE greater than that, but we haven’t as of yet embraced it fully as a group. Watch any episode of Animal Planet and see if some of the behavioral patterns of our fellow creatures seem somehow familiar...
This is not meant to sound harsh, because there’s really nothing for us to be ashamed of. We are what we are after all, and there is only room to evolve even further until we reach our pinnacle, whatever and wherever that may be.
As mentioned earlier, our base instincts are what keeps us alive in this physical world, so by Human standards a little paranoia is a damn good thing. Read the rest of this entry
