The last we’d heard from Madonna, she was having a bit of a meltdown over the online leak of her upcoming album, calling it “artistic rape” and “a form of terrorism.” Madonna deleted that tweet and has refocused on promoting the official release of “Rebel Heart,” primarily by posting Instagram photos of herself and other “rebel hearts” bound in black plastic rope.

Those who have received the bondage treatment from Madonna have so far included Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, Homer Simpson, Salvador Dali, the Grinch, Marilyn Monroe and a statue of Jesus Christ.

Some on Twitter had a meltdown of their own today, though, when Bob Marley, Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela made appearances on Madonna’s stream.

Tying up Martin Luther King, Jr. and Nelson Mandela? Not OK.
Madonna Uses Altered Pics Of Martin Luther King Jr. To Promote Album http://t.co/tbLhBb2Nxx < Madonna, if you don't sit down somewhere…

You’re realizing just now that she is sick and disgusting? Somebody missed Madonna’s “Sex” coffee table book.

Oh no. @Madonna has lost her GD mind. This #RebelHeart thing has gone too far. You went and dragged MLK & Marley into this! Stop! #fb

@Madonna Images used of Marley, MLK, & Madiba illustrates ur white privilege & commodification of blk sacredness. Nothing rebel about it.

@Madonna I'm sure MLK's dream didn't involve you drawing on his face to promote your album

If @Madonna posts a photoshopped pic of MLK in a cone-bra we're required by law to deny her Internet access for the rest of her life, right?

Will self-declared “unapologetic bitch” Madonna delete these tweets as well?
