Viewers thought it was strange that the singer would only take these type of pictures with holding the watermelon with two of the daughters she adopted from Malawi.
The racial history behind watermelon led Twitter users to accuse the singer of being culturally insensitive.
The photos were taken as part of the Watermelon Dress Challenge, which has been popular on social media in the past…

This is not the first time Madonna has been ridiculed for her lack of cultural sensitivity…
In 2014, Madonna posted a picture of her son Rocco Ritchie using the hashtag “DisN***a.”
The singer later apologized for using the slur and deleted the photo.
