After a widely criticized tribute to the late Prince at Sunday night's Billboard Music Awards, Madonna seems to be responding to backlash on social media.
The Huffington Post reported that Madonna, who sang a medley of Prince songs and brought out Stevie Wonder for the "Purple Rain" finale, shared moments from the performance as well.

Questlove made a point to say that much of what he tweeted was not solely about the Billboard Awards tribute, adding that he has been in conversations about who should and should not be involved in other aspects of Prince's legacy, like memorials and other tributes.
The next award show expected to have a Prince tribute is hosted by BET, and the network teased that it will be better than the Billboard Awards' effort.
