Many fans argued in the replies to Lizzo‘s tweet that Madonna should have been named the queen of pop instead of Janet.

“i love u Lizzo but…. Madonna is the queen of pop and… Bieber the prince? omg pls Lizzo??????????????????” one fan wrote, while another added, “Madonna is the queen of pop. Janet is amazing and worthy of a prestigious title but Madonna is officially QoP and has been for many years.”
