Madonna receives spray from deputy PM

Madonna has famously made enemies out of the likes of Elton John, but a surprising attack by Russia's deputy prime minister has come out of left field.

Dmitry Rogozin has taken to Twitter, calling the 'Like a virgin star' a Russian swearword for a whore.

It comes after Madonna appeared on stage sporting body ink supporting the punk band who was incarcerated for protesting against the government.

The deputy PM posted similar statements Putin has made that the west should stop preaching about moral superiority.
