We’re pretty sure when Jazmine Sullivan sang ‘Let It Burn’ she was not referring to the unforgiving Twitter roasting imparted to her social media handles all week.  Alas, the Grammy-nominated beauty has been burning up headlines for what many are calling an insensitive, self-centered eulogy she delivered via social media for the late gospel singer, “TC” Clay, who died last weekend.

Sprinkled with shade and some poor word choices, the backlash was so bad it led the songstress to delete the post and today return to the very social media platform where this trouble started to lend an apology.

Is it too little, too late?  Read it and tell us below:

“Madonna and I are very different…”

While she is best known for her theatrical and (at times) over the top stage shows and music videos, Queen of Pop Madonna has seen her name line the credits of multiple multiplatinum albums as a contributing songwriter over her 30+ year career.  Recently nominated for induction to the 2017 Songwriters Hall of Fame, the Grammy winner’s live stage shows have seen her play drums, bass guitar, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, and even a ukelele over that same three decade period.

For the previously mentioned reasons and more fans of the iconic pop star were none-too-pleased with Lady Gaga after the ‘Bad Romance’ beauty’s bad choice of words in a recent interview seemed to imply the Material Girl doesn’t write her own material:

Madonna and I are very different. Just saying. I wouldn’t make that comparison at all and I don’t mean to disrespect Madonna. She’s a nice lady and she’s had a fantastic huge career. She’s the biggest pop star of all time, but I play a lot of instruments. I write all my own music. I spend hours and hours a day in the studio. I’m a producer. I’m a writer. What I do is different.

Needless to say, the quote did not fall on deaf ears.  In fact, if the Twitter response is anything to judge by, the 30-year-old singer may have reignited the beef between herself and her nearly 60-year-old counterpart:
