A Pop queen she may be, yet Madonna seems to be into publicity peasantry these days.

Fresh from drumming up racial backlash in February, the 55-year-old took to Instagram today to shine the spotlight on herself in yet another attention-seeking way.

With her toned armed raised above her head, the Lady GaGa rival showcased underarm hair with the caption:

“Long hair…… Don’t Care!!!!!! #artforfreedom#rebelheart #revolutionoflove”
