Madonna is not a fan of M.I.A.’s middle finger. The pop star’s Super Bowl halftime show was ultimately upstaged by the radical rapper’s obscene gesture. Stuff.co reports on the bad blood between the two performers:

The day’s top showbiz news and headlines including Madonna and M.I.A. make Super Bowl headlines, the 2012 Oscar nominees gather for an annual lunch, and Zsa Zsa Gabor celebrates 95 years.

Madonna “wasn’t impressed” with M.I.A’s obscene Super Bowl stage stunt.

The Queen of Pop was joined by the British star and Nicki Minaj during her 12-minute medley at this year’s half-time show.

The trio performed new track Give Me All Your Luvin’ on stage, where M.I.A got a little overzealous with her hand gestures and flicked up her middle finger during the show.
