American singer and pop icon Madonna has been banned from going Live on Instagram for frequently sharing her objectionable pictures. Taking to her Instagram handle, the international singer shared a video wherein she was supposed to go live but got barred with a warning on-screen from the photo-sharing app, which read, 'Respect everyone on Instagram, don’t spam people or post nudity.'

After the ban, the singer expressed her surprise at the decision and uploaded a video of the moment she realised that she was blocked from going Live to her 18 million followers. In the video, Madonna was stunned and 'speechless' to see herself blocked and said, 'We’re blocked from Live? Ew, what’s happening?' Sharing the post, she wrote, 'Not Us!!!! violation of community guidelines.....'

This, however, is not the first time that Madonna has faced scrutiny from the social media platform. Madonna's Instagram post was taken down by the social media network last year also when one of the photos showed her bare breast.

The singer re-posted the photos on Instagram, criticising the site for sexualizing one region of her body in particular. Madonna was photographed posing on a bed wearing lingerie, fishnet stockings, and Christian Louboutin shoes. In one of the photos, the singer was also seen topless while lying underneath the blanket.
