Madonna blasts 50 Cent’s ‘bulls***’ apology, but ‘forgives’ him after social media row

Madonna called out 50 Cent for his “bulls*** apology” after he mocked her racy Instagram pictures in now-deleted social media posts.

In a new video, the 63-year-old singer shared a clip using a cartoon filter where she blasts the rapper’s “fake apology”.

50 Cent previously apologised after poking fun at a steamy photoshoot Madonna shared with her 17 million Instagram followers.

Speaking this week, she said: “Your apology is fake, it’s bulls***, and it’s not valid”, adding that he should be apologising for “misogynistic, sexist, ageist behaviour and remarks.”

The Vogue singer went on to say that she didn’t take the rapper’s posts personally, because he’s “not coming from an enlightened place” and said “of course you’re benefiting from it, that is what social media is all about”.

She concluded the video by saying: “Finally, I just want to say I forgive you and I hope that one day, you wake up and see a different point of view. I wish you all the best.”

The video was captioned: “Delayed Clap back for 50 cent And his fake apology… Ive been busy, better late then never!!! Had. some things I needed to say [sic]”.

50 Cent doesn’t seem phased though as just 12 hours ago, he posted pictures on Instagram and Twitter showing several people copying one of the pictures from her photoshoot.

He posted the pictures along with the message: “well what a positive influence you are. LOL  #likeavirgin63  challenge. I’m sorry, SORRY DIDN’T WORK ! [sic].”

Okay wait - what has happened so far?

It all started last month when Madonna shared a series of saucy bedroom snaps where she was seen posing on (and under) her bed clad in lingerie, fishnets, and high heels. Despite Instagram seemingly removing the post, Madonna reshared the pictures with emojis censoring her nipples.

50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis James Jackson III, poked fun at the Material Girl’s photoshoot and reshared one of the images to his own Instagram.

The post read: “Yo this is the funniest s**! LOL. That’s Madonna under the bed trying to do like a virgin at 63. She shot out, if she don’t get her old a** up. LMFAO [sic].”

His account also shared a photoshopped picture likening Madonna to the Wicked Witch of the East who gets trapped under a house in The Wizard of Oz. The posts have now been deleted.

In response to the rapper’s trolling, Madonna posted an Instagram story showing a picture of the pair together in 2003.

On the story, she accused him of talking “smack” about her, and said:  “I guess your new career is getting attention by trying to humiliate others on social media. The least elevated choice you could make as an artist and an adult.”

She added: “You’re just jealous you won’t look as good as me or have as much fun when you are my age! Too bad there are no sour grape emogees [sic].”

She also shared a video where she dons a Yoda filter and said she cherishes her “uniqueness”.

After being called out, 50 Cent shared an apology to Twitter which read: “I must have hurt Madonna feelings, she went and dug up a old MTV photo from 03.

“Ok Im sorry i did not intend to hurt your feelings.I don’t benefit from this in anyway i said what i thought when i saw the picture because of where i had seen it before i hope you accept my apology [sic].”

We wonder what will happen next…
