Chuck D is over people clowning Madonna for her live performances and is accusing her haters of being ageist.
“At 63 i know i can bike better than i ever did and Pilates aint easy but i give it to @Madonna for pushing the bars,” he wrote. “@FlavorFlav is taking Pilates too and hes 64. So ageism sometimes gets like racism both ways if you let it. For anyone over 50 the rule is either you do the songs or the songs do you. @Madonna has some hard songs to perform in her catalogue.”

Madonna’s BBL has caught heat several times and her refusal to grow old gracefully has led to some backlash, including some jokes from rapper 50 Cent.
In February, she spoke out against those who critiqued her appearance at the Grammys, calling the hate “ageism and misogyny”.

“Many people chose to only talk about close-up photos of me taken with a long lens camera by a press photographer that would distort anyone’s face!!” she wrote. “Once again I am caught in the glare of ageism and misogyny that permeates the world we live in,” she said. “A world that refuses to celebrate women past the age of 45 and feels the need to punish her if she continues to be strong-willed, hard-working and adventurous.
