Madonna has come under fire yet again from the Malawi government following a recent charity visit.

As previously reported, president Joyce Banda recently attacked the music star by claiming the singer failed to meet promises regarding building schools in the African country.

The government has now issued a statement suggesting that Madonna acted in an ungrateful manner during her visit, comparing her to other celebrities who have made the trip to Malawi without incident. They said:

"If the argument is that because she is an internationally renowned star, Madonna believes she deserved to be treated differently from other visiting foreigners, it is worth making her aware that Malawi has hosted many international stars, including Chuck Norris, Bono, David James, Rio Ferdinand and Gary Neville who have never demanded state attention or decorum despite their equally dazzling stature."

The statement added: "In the feeling of Madonna, the Malawi government and its leadership should have rolled out a red carpet and blasted the 21-gun salute in her honour because she believes that as a musician, the whiff of whose repute flies across international boundaries, she automatically is a candidate for VIP treatment."

The statement also suggests that Madonna is looking for gratitude from Malawi for adopting two children from the country.
