Queen of Pop, Madonna, recently took to her Instagram stories wearing a short brown wig, a look inspired by her late mother, Madonna Louise Fortin Ciccone's hairstyle.
Madonna, or Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone's captioned her post saying
"I missed my mother so I channeled her..."
Veronica's post comes a week later, after she celebrated Mother's Day with five of her six children last week. However, fans were not happy with the artist's tribute to her mother, with some saying that the posts were "creeping" them out.
While others went on to defend Victoria's actions, saying,
"I feel like ppl may be looking too deep. I interpreted her “channeling” her mom by the way she styled/ dyed her hair dark. I mean there’s literally a reference photo" - a user said
Madonna was reportedly only five years old when her mother died at 30 in 1963 from breast cancer after having six children. She's also named after her mother.
More about Madonna's mother
Madonna was born to Madonna Louise and Silvio Ciccone in Bay City, Michigan. When she was five, her mother died at 30 from breast cancer. While speaking to TIME, the artist mentioned that she remembers her mother to be a "forgiving, angelic person",
"I remember also I knew she was sick for a long time with breast cancer, so she was very weak, but she would continue to go on and do the things she had to do."
In a Sky documentary on her life titled Becoming Madonna, which was released in January, the artist revealed that her mother's death was the "greatest event" of her life.

"I was forced to grow up fast and understand my mother's death, to understand the psychological, all things that were going on. It was too much for a child I think."
In a previous Instagram post, the singer had mentioned that she was kept in the dark about her mother's battle against breast cancer. After her mother's death, her father, Silvio, went on to remarry their housekeeper. Her father lives to this day, and will turn 94 on June 2.
