"French, if you love them, you wouldn't take part in this kind of attraction," one of the hip-hop musician's Instagram followers wrote. "They torture the elephants from a young age to discipline them into performing and performing tricks on command. Please don't support this!"

The negative comments didn't seem to get in the way of the couple's good time. Hours later, Azalea shared some pics of herself and Montana cuddling up in a photo booth. "Happy birthday," she captioned the images.
