After nearly 40 years in the limelight, Madonna continues to prove ‘Express Yourself’ is more than just a classic hit for her; it – often to controversial measure – is a way of life.
Nearly two years after making headlines for using her provocative ‘God Control’ music video to advocate for the reform of gun control laws in the United States, the 62-year-old diva continues to use her platform to speak out against related injustices – namely the deaths of unarmed men of color at the hands of police.
No stranger to criticism for such statements, Madge fielded a variety of responses when she took to Instagram earlier this week to weigh in on the killing of 20-year-old Daunte Wright – a Black Minneapolis man who police allege was shot and killed accidentally at a traffic stop. To the surprise of many, however, one commenter’s criticism on the matter got a royal clap back from the Queen of Pop.

As seen above, Madge took to Instagram to share the video footage of Wright’s death and the official police press conference that followed. Alongside the video, she captioned:
“This video of Daunte Wright’s shooting is deeply upsetting but equally so is Police Officer Tim Gannon’s explanation of how it was all an accident. The shooting officer had a taser in one hand and a hand gun in the other. She warned everyone she was going to taser a handcuffed. Daunte who was pulled over for a traffic violation and instead she shot and killed him! No way to fix this accident is there Tim??!! This is so infuriating and unacceptable. God Bless Daunte and his family.”
While most of the commenters agreed with her opinion, one took to the platform to say:
“I would bet you have people with guns to protect you and your family. But the little people can be left unarmed. If you take the guns away criminals will ALWAYS find weapons. The rest of us innocent people will be victims. You live behind high walls with protection. You do not live in the real world. Criminals do not fear police, judges, or jail. But if we are an armed society they would fear the victims.”
Apparently, Madonna wasn’t having it. Peep her response below:
“B*tch I don’t have any security or armed guards around me. come see me and tell me to my face how not real my world is. I dare you. You know nothing about me or my life. The only criminals I see right now are the police who are paid to protect the people. But police are protected by judges and the criminal justice system which is a joke because there is no justice if you are a person of color. Of course your name is Karen.”
B*tch, she’s Madonna!

READ HER FOR FILTH. MADGE IS THE MOMENT. EVEN IF IT IS ALL FOR ATTENTION
@IKNOWTHETRUTH why are you even on this site? Your comments are as dry as my 𝖈𝖚𝖓𝖙. YAWN!
The officer clearly didn’t want to shot him but she still needs to face her stupid act in court.
Madonna trying to make it seem like the officer killed him with intent. that’s Populism!
Last thing – don’t fu_cking run from the police – don’t fight them and don’t break the law.
“The officer clearly didn’t want to shoot him…” BUT DID. LIKE, WHAT? She clearly DID want to shoot him considering how quick she was to draw her GUN. And while she holding the gun in her hand for about TWENTY SECONDS, she’s yelling “TASER! TASER!” most likely to make her argument that she was thinking it was a taser but it was “mistakenly” a GUN! She’s a cold blooded murderer.
Well, considering he had a warrant out for breaching bail after holding a girl at gunpoint and robbing her then resisting arrest, are you surprised the Police had the response of fearing him? He has videos all over YouTube of him holding guns. Of course the media will never show you that but the internet is your friend. Or here is a link just for you https://youtu.be/rbXYjO4M-aM
So, Miss Shayla – The police are the judge, jury and executioner now? It’s not their jobs to make decisions on how to punish people for their alleged crimes. Their job is to bring them in if they are accused of COMMITTING a crime. So your little argument about “what he did” is irrelevant. Idk if the kid was innocent or not and it truly doesn’t matter. He never got the chance to defend himself or serve his time as he should have because another trigger happy police officer took away that right.
Police have to protect THEMSELVES. If someone is listed as an ARMED ROBBER, it’s not unreasonable to expect they may actually be… ARMED.
Don’t involve yourself in crimes, especially aggravated crimes, don’t resist arrest and all is gravy.
Oh now I get it, you’re less than smart.
At least check both sides of the story first. Else it’s you who is less than smart.
Girl bye..what other side? There’s nothing you can say to make me think he deserved to be shot and killed. I don’t care about what he did or didn’t do. The entire thing is on video. Did you even bother to watch before you became a judge? There are so many white mass shooters who are taken into custody with no problem, but they kill men of color with no weapons? That makes no sense to me and shouldn’t make any sense to a person with a brain. If you don’t know the difference between a gun and a taser, then maybe you’re in the wrong field of work.
Who are these “white mass shooters who are taken into custody with no problem,” can you inform me of any? They usually shoot themselves after a mass shooting or are shot on sight at the arrival of Police. Again, inform me if I’m incorrect. We can all learn from each other if we listen without criticism.
Thank you, chilepleaseee. That witless troll, Shayla, always muddies the issues with irrelevant facts. It was UNREASONABLE for the police to use DEADLY force under these circumstances
Per the US Supreme Court’s decision in Graham v. Connor, the question of whether an officer used excessive force “requires careful attention to the facts and circumstances of each particular case, including the severity of the crime at issue, whether the suspect poses an immediate threat to the safety of the officers or others, and whether he is actively resisting arrest or attempting to evade arrest by flight.”
Deadly force as NOT appropriate in this case:
1. Wright was being pulled over for a TRAFFIC infraction.
2. WRIGHT was seated in his vehicle and DID NOT pose an imminent threat to the safety of the police.
3. WRIGHT was unarmed and the officer knew that.
4. The officer was NOT fearful of her life as she herself said that she intended to use the TASER and not the GUN.
Pulled over and had a WARRANT for ARMED ROBBERY and RESISTED ARREST. This is what happens. 1+1=2 💯
Bye troll. How convenient that you didn’t mention that the police officer knew WRIGHT WASN’T ARMED such that the use of deadly force, WHICH WAS AN ADMITTED MISTAKE, was not appropriate.
Girl you go out of your way to justify the killing of a black man, however wrong it might be. Now shut your evil dumb a$$ up.
He was a THUG. His life was inevitably going to end by getting shot by Police, another thug, or by spending it in prison.
Welp, thank Jesus the standard for the use of deadly police force isn’t whether a dumba$$ named Shayla Queen believes the victim was a thug. Thank Jesus we have laws with clear standards. Thank Jesus that thug officer has been charged with manslaughter under that clear law.
Thanks goodness with have the Police to stop armed thugs from robbing women at gunpoint. So no, I have zero sympathy. Just like he had for his victim.
Reports show he WAS a thug. But again, for someone like you, ignorance is bliss. You just get spoon-fed whatever they want to believe, to beat you as a black man into submission. The real enemy is the white liberal.
People like YOU are the real enemy. Those “Reports” don’t matter here…it’s the specific circumstances under which the offer acted at that time…which is what the law recites.
Even in the face of the police acknowledging their mistake, your evil racist a$$ can’t accept that….the police are WRONG…he was rightfully been shot and killed…even though they knew he was unarmed and posed no imminent danger.
Got damn, you might be the worst person I’ve ever encountered. I’m educated, I argue for a living and I recognize bull$hit easily…you’re over following with it 💩. It’s no wonder you spend your days on this blog. You’re an unreasonable nobody with unrefined nobody opinions. Stop letting your hate for blacks blind you. I’ve dispelled your ridiculous arguments and that’s all you get from me today 💋💋
Oh well, one less hood rat on the streets. YOUR Fancy BISH has spoken.
Bye Danzou. I’ve got nothing for you. These important issues are beyond your intellectual capabilities. Stick to trolling under ur new LaToya account. Thanks 💋
Fake Marilyn, you’re not telling anyone what to do. Keep that dominance for the twinks. Oh that’s right, you can’t get any. I would suggest an escort but then you’re broke as Hell 💯
Girl, I understand your NATURAL impulse is to retreat to the GUTTER when you’re otherwise beat, but keep that nasty $hit to yourself. I’m a Christian. Thanks 💋💋
And I’m a BOSS…I read your troll a**es for filth weekly. I can definitely tell ya’ll LESSERS what to do…LMAO! 💋💋💋
It’s the only time you do get to tell anyone what to do. Behind a cheap phone that’s running hot. In real life, you’re the one that gets controlled and bullied 💯🤣
“… come see me and tell me to my face how not real my world is.”
Your world isn’t real or you’d know the facts before talking s****.
I wish you would go and play in traffic. Your posts and opinions on here are just as problematic as your ghetto a** name. The sad fact about it all is you think it’s cute and entertaining to spew such prejudice with much density, ignorance, and lack of research. Being as though you have so many grotesque things to say about POC on a blog where they are predominately posted about on a day to day basis, why not just take your interest to another blog that suits your views? Maybe Dailyma!l or KarensRUs.com would suit you better? *kanye shrug*
You need to be take down, no bow down b I T c h 💅🏿💅🏿 You are just one of the troll accounts, I know the truth, Susan, ughh, u funny h o e, tyty…. and so much more. U ain’t better then anyone so STFU w h o r e🤳🏿🤳🏿🤳🏿
Bow Down is speaking pure facts! ✅💯 FCK you Marilyn Osbourne and Shayla Morgan 🤣 You two had the nerve to say black people are lazy yesterday! Your stank ass, ugly, mentally ill self lmaooooooooo…go twerk in traffic! 😂 Two TROLLicious, bum bishes lol
Trashy bish aka Mrs. Potts from Beauty & the beast. Keep singing your dumb dumb teacup song “ I’m a little teapot
Short and stout, Here is my handle, Here is my spout” 💅🏿💅🏿
All I’m saying is maybe look deeper into these issues and make a more informed decision by checking all the facts, instead of just what’s being force-fed to all of us. The truth and fasts are out there, it just takes some looking. Plus, we should be able to have open-discussion and debate as adults without being offended by someone saying something you may not like or agree with.
@Marilyn SCREAMING 🤣
Shayla is a broke down, flavorless heffa with an agenda 🤣 Marilyn is the embodiment of a hater lmaooooooooo 😂 Let’s see what’s going to drop out of your stupid mouth next lol 👀
And as usual, Trashy BISH never adds to the conversation at hand, in fact she avoids it and just spews a load of s**** to DEFLECT.
What conversation do you THINK you’re having Shayla? 😂 Enquiring minds want to know lmaoooooooooooooooo…you’re a tabloid 🤣
https://tenor.com/view/nick-jonas-gif-10471768
And you’re a Trashy Ashy BISH. Let in sink into that THICK skull.
You’re stupid Shayla 🤣 A Trump thumper, end of story 😂
https://tenor.com/view/nick-jonas-gif-10471768
You’re unintelligent, uninformed and irrelevant.
Shayla, I breathe LIFE into your sorry ass 🤣 I’m the real reason you charge your phone 📱 Everything I say hits different for you 😂
https://tenor.com/view/nick-jonas-gif-10471768
Okurrrrr p** 🐽
@Bow Down why don’t you take your entire bloodline to a freeway and play ball in the traffic, Fancy BISH has spoken now GO!
Her world is just how to get f u c k e d by her 20 yo backup dancer. How disgusting she is! 💅🏿💅🏿 He can be her grandson or even great grandson my god!
Ugh she is a cradle-snatching dawg in heat
Get her Madge!!!!
To answer that uneducated fool on Instagram : most countries in the world don’t have such gun policy.
Weapons are killing more than they are protecting in the US.
Europe doesn’t have such issues or at least certainly not on the same level.
Plus :
– How can you buy assault weapons in the name of defense when assault = attack ?
– That stupid 2nd amendment was written in the late 18th century when the world but mostly technology was much different. No semi automatic rifles and all that… Isn’t law supposed to evolve with its time ?
The NRA is holding everyone by the cojones. Because they only care about the fu<king money and they certainly give 0 damn about people’s safety.
And the average John Doe keeps bragging « it’s my right it’s in the constitution »… just STFU already.
I ❤️ Madonna! She’s so smart, accurate and flavorful lol 🤳🏽

And again, you’re not ❌
Kween Kong how can you be always on the wrong side of every issue?
You know Trashy BISH is a fat woman because she’s so over-emotional. Whether that be excitement, anger, or any other emotion, it’s always so OTT. And that’s something that only female fatties are like 💯
You’re so sad lol…look at you, projecting
