She’s simply the best. Better than all the rest. Sadly, the same cannot be said for the public sculpture made in her honor. Unveiled at the end of last month in her rural hometown of Brownsville, Tennessee, a 10-foot bronze statue of the late singer-songwriter Tina Turner is going viral this week on social media, where users are calling it an “abomination” and “an insult to a great artist.” 

The artwork was installed in Heritage Park across from the Grammy-winning artist’s alma mater, Carver High School, just two years after her death at 83 years old. Created by Atlanta-based artist Fred Ajanogha, the work was funded by reportedly around 50 donors, including Ford Motor Company, which contributed $150,000 toward the project as part of a community preservation initiative.
