We should’ve guessed Madonna would have some choice words regarding Pepsi’s controversial — and now pulled — commercial starring Kendall Jenner.

The “I Know It” singer took to Instagram and provided some expert-level shade while weighing in on the blazingly tone-deaf soda spot.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“When you wake up and realize that shit just really doesn’t make sense!” she wrote above a video of the commercial.
“Side note: My Pepsi commercial was pulled 30 years ago because I was kissing a black saint!”
A followup post made it abundantly clear where her allegiances lie.
And that’s pretty much that.

I figured that was why she was displaying a Coke yesterday of which she probably never consumed. Everyone is so sensitive – not a Pepsi consumer, but I got their intention. Next topic.
DMRX
I understood their intent, as well. More than that, I was moved by it, emotionally.
I don’t get why people have just assumed the worst.
And I have to wonder… Would this have ever been an issue if they’d used someone other than Kendall.

She really has a knack for trying to make things all about her, doesn’t she

i wish Madonna would learn to focus on good things..like not that commercial sucks but I saw a great commercial check it out. Be part of the solution not part of the problem girl!
seaguy
That is why she is the queen of pop with sold out record earning tours. Someone cares, just not you bitch.

Pepsi should have told their haters to go to hell just like Dolce & Gabbana told their haters to go to hell.
trusgold
Is that before or after being jailed?
Louis
Yeah some classless self loathing self hating self righteous hypocritical gay men really strengthens your already weak argument .
Kangol
Pepsi screwed up and needed the wake up call, so deal with it.
Also, if this is what it takes to wean people off that this teeth-, pancreas-and-kidney destroying sugary poison, so be it.
ddevine
Naturally she had to put herself in the situation.
Frank
She is Madonna
Charlie in Charge
Yeah she should have totally used that effective tactic employed by activists worldwide to make change: doing and saying nothing. That’s what you would prefer right?

@Charley in Charge – Give it a rest! This is about a can of soda, for Pete’s sake!
jtroi
I for one was curious to learn what was considered controversial 30 years ago. It puts things into perspective.
Why all the snarkiness on this forum?
Charlie in Charge
Some people are deeply unhappy with themselves and have to tear down anyone they think has received some undue success to console themselves for feelings of inadequacy.
DMRX
@jtroi: Apparently, you’re new here. The queens here are mostly this way. Maybe best for you to skip the comments section. Also… Calling it a forum gives it way more dignity than it deserves. Haha

Does tbis job still require you to use the banans and raw potatoes in the sessions??? There was never enough clean up time.

@Steve: LOL!

It’s hilarious how Madonna has to as usual be a total narcissistic c u n t and try to stay relevant.
gary69mike
couldn’t have said it better!
seaguy
And your what a catty hater? She has more relevance in her pinkie than you will ever have.
o.codone
You must have been reading my mind with this post. The only thing I might add would be to put C U N T in caps, the way it should be. This old bag needs to just disappear. Go in the woods, with Hillary. If we need you (never), we know where to find you. She’s the joke person who will never go away.
seaguy
Madonna sharing her view and own experience with a pulled Pepsi ad is very relevant and I am glad she shared. Unlike the haters I believe in women speaking their mind not being silent because someone doesn’t think they are relevant anymore. Good you haters are so like Trump it is pathetic.
Long live the Queen of Pop Madonna!
Bob LaBlah
It might be that Madonna noticed the same damn thing I did in that commercial. Not a single person over forty was in it. Even the police officers didn’t look a day over thirty.

The best response to this ill-conceived ad was the one by Bernice King, daughter of MLK. I also wish the Kardashians and Jenners would simply disappear from the spotlight, news and culture. I long for the days when Kylie simply referred to the fabulous Ms. Minogue, and I’m please she was able to assert exactly that in her successful challenge to block one of the talentless Jenners (is that redundant?) from trademarking Kylie.
ShaunNJ
pleased, I meant to say
