Lewis Hamilton has come under fire from fans for failing to pay tribute to Prince Philip, who passed away peacefully on Friday, but the F1 star has paid his respects on Instagram. The Mercedes ace wrote touching news to the Wrapper DMX, who died the same day and was quickly bombed by supporters.
The Queen’s husband struggled with health problems in recent years and sadly passed away at the age of 99.
Prince Philip’s funeral will take place on Saturday and many leading figures around the world have paid tribute to the Duke of Edinburgh.
Rapper DMX also died on Friday, five days after a heart attack, with his family by his side.
The artist with the most charts was only 50 years old and his death made the world sad.
Hamilton paid special tribute to DMX, of which he is a huge fan.
“I am devastated when I wake up to the death of DMX,” wrote the seven-time F1 world champion.
“I grew up with him, his words and stories led me through some difficult times as a kid and I am so grateful for his wisdom and light. Gone too early, but I hope for a more peaceful place. Rest in peace DMX.”
Hamilton published Vogue’s tribute to Prince Philip along with the message: “So sad … my thoughts and prayers go to the royal family.”
However, fans had already started to criticize the F1 symbol.
“But not a word about the death of Prince Philip, a man who, through the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, founded in 1956, did so many good things for the disadvantaged youth in many ways. He stood for everything that is great about Great Britain,” said angrily one person wrote.
Another added, “Disappointed in you Lewis, no respect for a much bigger and better man you chose to ignore death and disrespect for his wife – suggest you return the honor she is have given you !! Was a big fan now not that much. “
A third said: “Prince Philip has died. He probably did a lot more for society than DMX!”
And a fourth commented: “You have taken a knighthood from our Queen and cannot mention her husband in your tweets! Shameful! My son, who looks up to you for inspiration, I will point him in a different direction from now on . “
One-fifth wrote, “Yes, he was a real role model and such an inspiring character. No mention of the death of a true legend, role model and inspiration – HRH Duke of Edinburgh, you know, your Queen’s husband. No wonder you become one of the most hated people on the planet. “
Although Hamilton was heavily criticized, there were some who stood up for the 36-year-old.
“I see everyone complaining that you are not saying anything about Prince Phillip,” one person wrote.
“It is shocking to see how obsessed some British citizens are with the monarchy.”
Another said, “His own hard work earned him the credit. He owes nothing to the royals.”
And a third added, “For anyone who beat up Lewis in front of royalty for his condolences to DMX, Lewis was not born into from hardship to royalty. Bad decisions about DMX in life result from poverty, a battle king never knows. So if you have fought to the top you can identify. “
