Award winning pop singer, Madonna has come under fire after ahe posted a video of her teenage son, David Banda, dancing to ‘stamp out racism’ after a 46-year-old black man, George Floyd, was murdered by white police officer in Minnesota.
KanyiDaily had reported how George Floyd died during arrest on Monday, after a white police officer pinned him to the ground by pressing his knee into Floyd’s neck as the black man protested that he couldn’t breathe.
Madonna was one of many celebrities that had taken to social media to express outrage over the incident of police brutality.
The 61-year-old singer shared a video of her 14-year-old son busting some moves to Michael Jackson‘s “They Don’t Care About Us” with the apparent intention of honoring George Floyd.
In the video, David Banda could be seen showing off some serious MJ moves as he dances in the kitchen, with Madonna writing that this was in tribute to George Floyd and stop “all Acts of Racism and Discrimination”
“Brutal murder travels around the world. My son David Dances to honor and pay tribute to George and His Family and all Acts of Racism and Discrimination that happen on a daily basis in America. #davidbanda#JusticeforGeorgeFloyd#MichaelJackson,” she wrote.

#Madonna Twitter is such a vicious world. He's a kid. He wanted to do something expressive. Some of you are too young to know the lyrics to the Michael Jackson song. Listen to them. Whatever you think about his mom….he's a kid. Chill, Twitter.

Madonna is a weirdo. I’ve never found her entertaining and everything she does seems like a stunt. And she can’t sing. That video of her son dancing is awkward like her

Now that Madonna has posted a video of her son dancing racism is over, George Floyd has peace, justice will be served and the riots will stop. This is what everyone was waiting for. Stay tuned for updates from the bathtub.

KanyiDaily had also reported how a white American woman identified as Amy Cooper was caught on camera calling the police and lying that a black man was attacking her, when he really just asked her to leash her dog in Central Park, New York.
