Overview
Justin Timberlake has caused controversy after he jokingly called Madonna a "mother chucking ninja" on Twitter, and then deleted it.
The singer, who headlined V Festival last night, tweeted Madonna on her 56th birthday to say, "A HAPPIEST of Bdays to my mother chucking ninja, @Madonna!! Hope you have a great one, M."
After reactions to the problematic tweet, which is an obvious reference to a racial slur, were far from positive, Timberlake deleted it.

Oh dear... @jtimberlake. Baby, you ain't black. No matter how much black music you do, nigga, "ninja", nigger, etc...You can't say it. Ever.

The singer is yet to directly respond to the barrage of criticism he's received.
