Madonna has
been branded 'disrespectful' after apparently comparing herself to
Martin Luther King Jr, Nelson Mandela and Bob Marley in a bid to promote
her new album.
In
a series of Twitter and Instagram posts, the 56-year-old singer
compared her '#rebelheart' to those of the civil rights activist, South
African anti-apartheid revolutionary and reggae musician.
The
Queen of Pop did so by transposing her new album's artwork - which
features her face covered in black rope - onto iconic images of the
trio, before posting the Photoshopped pictures online.
Alongside
the photo of King - who famously delivered his 'I Have A Dream' speech
during the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom - she wrote:
'This #rebelheart had a dream!'
Within
minutes of the images being posted to Twitter and Instagram, users
across the world had taken to the social network sites to express their
disgust at Madonna's apparent album promotion.
One
Twitter user, named Jaime, told the Like A Virgin star: 'I know you're
trying to make a statement, @Madonna, but you have enough resources to
know this is offensive.'
