Former Pepsi Ambassador Madonna Throws Major Shade at the Brand

Madonna appears to have just flipped the middle finger at Pepsi with her latest Instagram post.

This morning, the 58-year-old Pop queen took to her Instagram to share a photo of herself, rocking brunette hair and a red kimono with a can of Coke in one hand.

The post was captioned with a medal emoji and it is a no-brainer that Madonna was throwing shade at Pepsi following their recent controversial Kendall Jenner commercial.

In case you missed it, Pepsi was dragged to hell and back yesterday for their new commercial which featured Kendall Jenner

Unfortunately, the brand was forced to revoke the ad in April 1989 after it stirred up serious controversy. This was as a result of the original music video of Like a Prayer which was labelled politically, racially and religiously offensive.

While Pepsi lost some fans as a result of the ad, Madonna’s career suffered a brutal hit. Not only did Pepsi cancel Madonna’s sponsorship contract, she was also banned from countries like Italy.

Of course she has every right to be shady and fans are loving every bit of it.

But why is Madonna throwing shade at Pepsi?

Well, in January 1989, the highly controversial singer inked a $5 million endorsement deal with Pepsi after she released her Like A Prayer single. Pepsi had also agreed to sponsor her world tour and launch Like a Prayer globally via the commercial.
