Malawian President Joyce Banda was “incandescent with anger†over a statement that labelled Madonna “a bully,†according to the reports.
According to senior officials, the 63-year-old politician was unaware of the harshly-critical statement that was issued by her office following the pop diva’s recent visit to the country, the BBC reported.
Emily Banda, head of Malawi’s NGO board, said that although the President “did not approve†or indeed know about the statement, she would not be apologising for the mistake.
The statement had accused the 54-year-old singer of exaggerating her contribution to Malawi and demanding VIP treatment.
