FILE - In this Tuesday, June 18, 2013 file photo, Madonna's son, Rocco Ritchie, foreground, attends the world premiere of "Madonna: The MDNA Tour" at the Paris Theatre in New York. Madonna is apologizing for using a racial slur to refer to her white son Instagram. On Friday night, Jan. 17, 2014, she posted a picture of her 13-year-old son boxing and used a hashtag that contained a racial slur. When fans objected, she defiantly called them haters, but in a statement to The Associated Press on Saturday, Jan. 18, 2014, she was contrite and said: "Forgive me."
