"No one messes with Dirty Soap!" she wrote in the caption. "Mama said knock you out! #disnβ€”-a."

She deleted the post immediately, but then she reposted it with this odd double down. Because anyone who takes issue with her use of the n-word is obviously a hater.

"Ok let me start this again. #get off my dβ€”k haters!" she wrote using the same photo of Rocco.

Don't forget that Madonna has two adopted children from Malawi, Mercy James and David Banda.
