Madonna Booed On Stage; Labels Entire Crowd ‘Diva Bitches’

Madonna has been booed by fans in Manchester after taking to the stage almost an hour late on Monday.

Having toured around the globe for a majority of the year in support of her latest album Rebel Heart, one would expect that the pop superstar would be able to fulfil her fans expectations for promptness.

However, it was not so. According to the Daily Mail UK the singer took to the stage 50 minutes late, receiving a hostile reception from the crowd as a result.

She then proceeded to chide the crowd for their behaviour, explaining that it was due to a technical fault in the production – and managing to call them all ‘diva bitches’ in the process.

“Thank you all for waiting… I don’t like to be late, by the way, and all you bitches who keep complaining about it can shut the fuck up. I’m not back there eating chocolates and filing my nails and getting my extensions done… The [background] video crashed. We had no video…. we had to wait until we could reboot it,” she continued. “No selfish diva bitch reason. If you diva bitches want to keep complaining about it, don’t come to my show.”

As is a major perk of the 21st century, the entire episode was filmed. Watch the ‘selfish diva bitch’ rant in all its glory below.

The singer also received a roasting on social media for her trouble, with fans taking to Twitter to voice their grievances.

Unfortunately, it’s not the first time the pop idol has encountered hostility for timing issues. Back in 2009 she received a similar reception from a packed London O2 Arena for a late entrance, and again in Paris in 2012, after performing a short 45 minute set for 2000 punters.

The incident is just another tick off the list of questionable live occurrences for the Queen of Pop, after this terrible Diplo collaboration on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon had us all scratching our heads.

Things haven’t been all negative however, with the singer giving a heartfelt speech for victims of the Paris attacks in Stockholm last month.
