Madonna Called Out For Self-Serving 'Tribute' To Aretha

Description

CNN reports Madonna's attempt to pay tribute to Aretha Franklin on MTV's Video Music Awards has some viewers calling out the singer for being disrespectful. Her so-called tribute, however, left viewers scratching their heads, with some saying her speech was as much an appreciation of herself as it was to the Queen of Soul. Some accused Madonna, in her spiky silver headpiece, heavy necklaces and beaded bracelets, of cultural appropriation. "I'm so lost," radio host Charlamagne Tha God tweeted.
