"An apology is not valid if you don't know what you're apologizing for. What you should be apologizing for is your misogynistic, sexist, ageist behavior and remarks."
Madonna has responded to 50 Cent after he apologized for making fun of NSFW photos she recently posted to Instagram.
On Friday, the pop icon took to Instagram to share a video in which she called out the rapper for giving what she described as a "fake," "invalid" and "bulls---" apology.
50 had issued a mea culpa last week after Madonna slammed the "In Da Club" hitmaker for mocking racy shots she had shared on social media. However, it's safe to say Madonna isn't buying the rap legend's apology.

In the clip, above, -- in which Madonna used a filter that gave her animated eyes and larger lips -- the Material Girl blasted 50's apology, arguing why it's "invalid."
"This is a message for 50 Cent," Madonna, 63, began. "I want to respond to your response to my response to your post, which was essentially -- you were trying to shame me. You were trying to humiliate me."
"Yeah, your apology is fake. It's bulls--- and it's not valid," she continued. "Let me just hit those four, five points about your apology being invalid."
The "Like a Virgin" singer first pointed out that "it's not hard to find footage of you and me hanging out," and shared throwback video footage of herself and 50 that appeared to have aired on BET.
"Number two, an apology is not valid if you don't know what you're apologizing for," she explained as she continued in the video. "What you should be apologizing for is your misogynistic, sexist, ageist behavior and remarks."
For her third point, Madonna brought up 50's remark in his apology in which he suggested that he "hurt Madonna's feelings." To that, the Queen of Pop said, "You didn't hurt my feelings 'cause I don't take it personally. I could never take it personally 'cause you're not coming from an enlightened place."

Of course you're benefiting from it," Madonna expressed. "That is what social media is all about. You do understand that, right? We post things about ourselves and we use Instagram and other forms of social media because we want attention."
"We want people to buy our products," she explained. "We want people to invest in our brands. We want people to listen to our music. We want people to go to our concerts. We want people to notice us. We want people to like us. There's nothing wrong with any of those things but don't kid yourself if you think you have an Instagram account and you're not benefiting from it. Shut it down. Stop lying to yourself."
The Grammy winner added, "You're reposting somebody else's low-level-of-consciousness posting that are meant to shame and humiliate other people -- that's f---ed up. You are trying to put a limit on when women should be able to feel good about themselves."
Madonna concluded by noting that she "forgive[s]" 50 Cent. "Finally I just wanna say: I forgive you and I hope that one day you wake up and see a different point of view," she said. "I wish you all the best. That's it, okay?"
In the post's caption, she wrote, "Delayed Clap back for 50 cent And his fake apology👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 ….…..,..Ive been busy, better late then never!!!," she captioned the video. "Had. some things I needed to say. 🗣 @50cent."
50 Cent has yet to respond.

The drama between the artists began at the end of last month when Madonna posted a series of racy, lingerie images snapped from inside her bedroom. In one, her bare breast was out for the world to see, while she had censored it with an emoji in another. Other shots put the spotlight on her derriere, which was clad in fishnets. (The original post was taken down by Instagram, but Madonna reposted the photos -- and blasted Instagram. See what she said, here.)
50 shared the photo of Madonna showing off her behind on his Instagram, calling the "Hung Up" singer an "old ass."
"👀yo this is the funniest s---! LOL 😆," he captioned the post. "That's Madonna under the bed trying to do like a virgin at 63. she shot out, if she don't get her old ass up. LMFAO 😆😆😆😆🚦GLG @bransoncognac @lecheminduroi."
In another post, "Just A Lil Bit" rapper went on to make a comparison between the photo and the Wicked Witch of the East under a fallen house in "The Wizard of Oz." He also posted a shot of a person recreating Madonna's pose, describing it as the "like a virgin 63 challenge." 50 has since taken down the posts.

Last week, Madonna slammed 50 Cent for his comments, calling him out in a post on her Instagram Story.
"Here is 50 Cent pretending to be my friend," she wrote over a throwback photo of herself posing with 50. "Now you have decided to talk smack about me!"
"I guess your new career is getting attention by trying to humiliate others on social media," she continued. "The least elevated choice you could make as an artist and an adult."
"You are just jealous you won't look as good as me or have as much fun when you are my age," she added.
50 then took to social media with his mea culpa. Alongside a screenshot of Madonna's Instagram Stories post, he wrote, "I must have hurt Madonna feelings, she went and dug up a old MTV photo from 03."
"ok Im sorry i did not intend to hurt your feelings," he continued. "I don't benefit from this in anyway i said what i thought when i saw the picture because of where i had seen it before i hope you accept my apology."
The "P.I.M.P" rapper has since removed his apology from Instagram and Twitter.
