Singer Madonna is at the receiving end after posting a photograph of her two adopted black children - David Ritchie and Mercy James - rubbing her feet.
The 56-year-old posted an image on photo-sharing website Instagram showing her lying on the floor while Ritchie and James kneeled in front of her and rubbed her feet, reports aceshowbiz.com.
"#motherlove...............how I'm gonna get through the day. Mercy and David give the best foot rubs!!! #rebelhearts," Madonna captioned it.
Some of the micro-blogging website Twitter users slammed Madonna for posting the photograph, accusing her of treating her adopted children like slaves because they're black.
A user, Wendy Williams reposted Madonna's image along with caption, "HOT QUESTION: Are you offended by the photo Madonna posted?"
@AH0LYF00L wrote: "I cant believe Madonna still has slaves to rub her feet!" @HolyJaxon tweeted, "Wow @ madonna hiring slaves."
However, the "Like a virgin" hitmaker received support from her fans.
