'If you love me then don't smoke!' Madonna directs rant at smoking fans in Chile, threatens to cancel show
Irate: Madonna cursed at her fans and threatened to cancel a concert when she noticed one of them smoking as she did a soundcheck in an open air arena in Chile

Even her biggest supporters will admit she is something of a diva.

And Madonna lived up to her hard eaed reputation by threatening fans in Chile that she would pull out of her show if they do not stop smoking.

This was despite the fact the Like A Virgin favourite was playing at an outdoor arena in the South American country on Wednesday.

SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO...

 

The drama, which was caught on video by fans, began when the aging popstrel caught a whiff of second hand smoke at the sound check before her performance in Santiago.

Madonna, 54, said: 'There are people smoking right now. No smoking!

'If you're going to smoke cigarettes, I'm not doing a show.'

And when her rant, which she made in English to the Spanish speaking audience, did not have the desired effect she became even more irate.

The Like A Prayer star said: 'You don't care about me? I don't care about you. All right? Are we going to play that game?

'I'm not kidding. I can't sing if you smoke. Entiendes?

'If you love me then don't smoke. No smoking.

'You're looking right at me and smoking cigarettes, like I'm a stupid f**king idiot.
