Sinéad O’Connor has a few choice words for Kim Kardashian, posting an expletive-laden rant about her on Facebook.

Kim is currently appearing on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine, along with an accompanying interview with the reality star, where she discusses feminism, transgender issues and her husband, Kanye West.

However, the ‘Nothing Compares 2U’ singer seems unimpressed with the decision to put Kim on the cover of the magazine, branding her a “c***”, and claiming the move signifies the death of music.

Ouch.

Sharing an image of Kim’s Rolling Stone cover on Facebook, Sinéad wrote: “What is this c*** doing on the cover of Rolling Stone ? Music has officially died. Who knew it would be Rolling Stone that murdered it?

“Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh can no longer be expected to take all the blame. Bob Dylan must be fucking horrified.”

She also called for her fans to boycott the magazine completely, concluding with the hashtag, #BoycottRollingStone.

The message has been met with a mixed reception from her fans, with one telling her they agreed, commenting: "Rolling Stone hasn't been about the music for a long while now."

Another added: "What happened to the musicians? Where is Sinead, The Pogues, The Cure, Kirsty MacColl etc? Come on folks at Rolling Stone, don't erase these people from the history of rock / pop, !!!"

However, not everyone agrees with Sinéad, with one comment claiming she'd gone too far, saying: "You know Sinead O'Connor I freaking adore you... however calling anyone the C word especially on social media, and especially given your status in the music world its disappointing."

This isn’t the first time Sinéad has publicly bashed Simon Cowell and his TV talent show ‘The X Factor’, prompting the music mogul to invite her to become a guest judge, joking on Twitter: “I think sinead o'connor would be a real fun guest judge on X factor. She loves the show and everything I do. Let me know sinead.”

All we have to say to Sinéad for discrediting Kim K’s musical abilities, is that she’s clearly never heard Kim’s foray into the world of music, ‘Jam (Turn It Up)’. In fact, we feel a song coming on right now…

16 Most Memorable Rolling Stone Covers

Britney Spears(01 of16)

In the early days of her career, David LaChappelle shot Britney Spears for this Rolling Stones cover, which became the first of many huge controversies surrounding the singer, cementing her as one of the biggest fixtures in the world of popular culture, a position she's rarely even come close to leaving in the past 15 years.

Kanye West(02 of16)

And, suffice to say, Mr. West faced quite a backlash with this Jesus Christ-inspired cover shoot, also taken by David LaChappelle. (credit:Rolling Stone)

Zac Efron(03 of16)

At the time of his Rolling Stone shoot, Zac was still mostly known for his role in the Disney franchise. This image helped a lot of people see him... in a new light. (credit:Rolling Stone)

John Lennon and Yoko Ono(04 of16)

From Annie Leibovitz's early work, this image is poignant, not just because it shows the love between John Lennon and Yoko Ono, but because John was shot dead just hours after this picture was taken. (credit:Rolling Stone)

Lady Gaga(05 of16)

Just when the whole world was wondering what Lady Gaga could possibly do next, in 2009 she unveiled this LaChappelle-shot Rolling Stone cover, completely naked, safe for a few plastic bubbles. (credit:Rolling Stone)

Lady Gaga(06 of16)

Of course, Gaga being Gaga, she wasn't done with the controversy, and later appeared on this Rolling Stone cover, sporting a gun bra, first seen in her 'Alejandro' music video. (credit:Rolling Stone)

Justin Bieber(07 of16)

Rolling Stone frequently comes under fire for using sexualised images of women on its cover, but this image of a young-looking Biebs - published around his 18th birthday, with the tagline 'Hot, Ready, Legal' - was heavily criticised. (credit:Rolling Stone)

Conchita Wurst(08 of16)

This new image of Eurovision winner Conchita Wurst is among our favourites, even if it's sadly not going to be appearing on international newsstands. (credit:Rolling Stone Germany)

Lorde(09 of16)

And speaking of, Lorde's Rolling Stone cover made a welcome change because she wasn't in any state of undress, instead just looking seriously bad-ass as she looks into the camera. (credit:Rolling Stone)

Courtney Love, Tina Turner and Madonna(10 of16)

Similarly, this cover from 1997 shows three women at the absolute top of their game, with Courtney, Tina and Madonna all appearing on the cover together. (credit:Rolling Stone)

Christina Aguilera(11 of16)

However, this was a very different approach taken by Christina Aguilera - or should we say Xtina - who posed with just an electric guitar to protect her modesty, at the height of her 'Stripped' era. (credit:Rolling Stone)

Melissa McCarthy(12 of16)

YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! (credit:Rolling Stone)

Janet Jackson(13 of16)

Janet - or Miss Jackson, if you're nasty - shocked the world when she unveiled this magazine cover image, which shows her topless, with then-husband René Elizondo, Jr. cupping her breasts. A cropped version of this photo was later used for her 'janet.' album cover. (credit:Rolling Stone)

Justin Timberlake(14 of16)

Ooooooh alright, then. (credit:Rolling Stone)

'True Blood'(15 of16)

Rolling Stone covers have frequently faced a backlash for their thought-provoking imagery, ever since the magazine launched in the late 1960s, but this one, from 2010, was among the most controversial ever, showing three members of the cast of 'True Blood' totally naked and covered in blood. (credit:Rolling Stone)

Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev(16 of16)

However no cover has ever been as controversial as this image from August 2013, when Rolling Stone but Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on the front of the magazine, with accusations that it was "glamorising terrorism" and acted as a "slap in the face" to the city of Boston. (credit:Rolling Stone)
