One of Madonna‘s adopted twin girls, Estere and Stella, told the pop icon about the beauty of dark skin earlier this week.
In a playful video of the mother-daughter duo using Instagram’s cat filters, the Malawi-born child said, “I look prettier because I’m brown.”
Madonna, 60, responded, “Oh, OK! Well, I look pretty cute, too.”
Several individuals on social media praised the singer for teaching her Black daughter to embrace her complexion.
“Madonna’s daughter saying ‘I’m prettier because I’m brown’ is very reflective of what she’s being taught,” one user wrote. “So kudos to Madonna in that respect but it was still funny af and a drag.”
“That just shows Madonna is teaching her daughter that her skin is beautiful ok gurlllllll,” another Tweeter added.
Madonnas adopted daughter is black and she told Madonna her filter looks better on her cause she’s brown…. and that just shows Madonna is teaching her daughter that her skin is beautiful ok gurlllllll
