Madonna accused of making Orlando shooting about herself


Fans have slammed Madonna after she posted a tweet about ending to "hate crimes" after 49 people were killed by a gunman at a gay club in Orlando, Florida.

The chart-topping singer took to social media to declare her support for the victims, posting an image of two men touching tongues on her Twitter account.

Underneath the image, Madonna wrote: "Love is love. Stop hate crimes. Any form of terrorism is a form of Hate! (sic)"

Later, she shared at throwback photograph of herself and Britney Spears kissing at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2003.

Madonna also took to Instagram to post a meme of herself at the GLAAD Media Awards in 2013 featuring her own quote.

The quote read: "You cannot use the name of God or religion to justify acts of violence, to hurt, to hate, to discriminate.

"What has happened in Orlando is devastating. My heart goes out to all the victims of the shooting and to their families. Stop hate crimes!"

But some fans have taken Madge's posts to being self indulgent instead of paying tribute to the victims.
