Madonna may or may not be comparing herself to Martin Luther King, Jr., but she’s definitely using his likeness.

In a series of tweets promoting her new album Rebel Heart, Madge photoshopped her own facial wrapping onto the faces of MLK, Bob Marley, and Nelson Mandela, writing:

and

Not surprisingly, people are not happy with the tweets.
Many Twitter users are putting Madonna on blast as being “disrespectful” and “offensive” and even saying Madonna is co-opting the achievements of black leaders for publicity.
What do U think?
