Cheeky: Vanilla Ice poked fun at Miranda Lambert at his show in Atlantic City, New Jersey on Friday night
During the Sunday concert, Miranda stopped in the middle of singing the emotional tune Tin Man to tell a group of fans who were taking selfies with her in the background to stop.
It took place at her Las Vegas residence.
“I’ll stop here for a second, I’m sorry. These girls worry about their selfie and don’t listen to the song.”
‘It pisses me off a little. I’m sorry, I don’t like it. Not at all. We’re here to hear some country music tonight. I sing some d**n music.’
Fans seemed divided in the comments section of the post, with some sharing their support for her and also praising her animal interest, while others berated her and demanded she apologize to the women she berated.
A commentator seemed to have been at the same concert where all the controversy started, and sided with Miranda.
“Team @mirandalambert she doesn’t owe anyone an apology. Saw it all firsthand and those girls had taken 1,000 selfies before she finally had enough.”
Adding: “They were so disrespectful that the media missed the whole story on this! She is a queen and will always be a queen!’

Others demanded an apology from her to the women in question, calling her a “true narcissist” and a “petty” person with a “God complex.”
Another wrote, “This girl takes a selfie when she should be apologizing and it really pisses me off,” in a play on the country star’s harsh words at her concert.
Others made an announcement to unfollow her on Instagram; she has more than 4.8 million followers on Instagram.
“Unfollow because of the way you disrespect and humiliate your fans. It takes balls not to apologize or see a problem with your actions,” they wrote.
One fan said that “Taylor Swift would never do that,” in reference to punishing a fan for taking a photo at a concert.
Some fans just called her “rude” and “classless,” while others said that while they love her, she “needed to handle this situation.”
“It takes balls to realize that fans are your paycheck. I’ll keep my money. Vegas should cancel you,” one person wrote.
Another person applauded what she does for animals, but said she “really” “owes those women in VIP an apology,” adding that we all have our minutes.”

One of the women – Adela Calin – chastised by Miranda spoke to TMZ about the moment, claiming they were in the VIP bench and lower than the audience – when asked if they blocked others.
She claimed it only took 20 seconds for the duration of the photo and the flash came off the phone.
When asked if she was still a fan, she said, “I’m not buying another ticket to go to her concert.
She added that she felt like she was back in school when a teacher would punish her.
