Madonna’s fans may be used to the music icon pushing the limits and changing herself, but even her most loyal fans are worried about her new video.
The 64-year-old “Like a Virgin” singer has made a career out of doing things that make headlines, but her recent posts on social media may not be as successful as she had hoped.
On Thursday, November 3, Madonna shared a video of herself lip-syncing to rapper Baby Keem’s “vent” with her 18.6 million Instagram followers.
Madonna mouths the words as she looks straight into the camera lens: “Have you ever been punched in your mother****in’ face? What you say? Oh, you haven’t? Alright, wait, b***h.”
In the video, the “Material Girl” star can be seen staring menacingly down the camera while wearing a sheer top, a black bra, black jeans, and a corset. She also has red braids and blonde eyebrows.
Fans rushed to the comments section after the video got more than 8 million views to say how worried they were about their idol.
One fan wrote: “You where my idol growing up. I used to love your music and creativity, please stop with these weird reels! [It’s] getting dark and concerning now.”
“I wish you could see yourself through the eyes of others. So sad what you’ve become,” another person commented.
A third wrote: “I’ve been a huge fan for most of my life, so it’s really sad (and disturbing) to watch the decline of Madonna. This might be funny for a kid’s [TikTok], but c’mon?! I think you need to stop hanging out with kids and surround yourself with other true icons… so you can remember who you used to be and who you really are. A legend… not an idiotic try hard.”
“What happened to her? She doesn’t even look like Madonna,” another fan asked. “Whatever happen [sic] to embracing your age and aging with grace?”
A fifth commented: “I used to love you and admire you. Seeing you like this is truly concerning. It’s sad that the people around you are not intervening and help you. How’s that possible?”
Another fan stressed: “You can remain disruptive without acting foolish.”
Others defended the singer quickly. One person wrote: “I love all these comments about ‘what happened to Madonna’… You mean the woman who has always pushed the envelop, challenged the status quo, who has been criticized her entire career for not fitting into a societally conditioned box.
“Y’all clearly don’t f***ing know Madonna. She’s an artist, not your f***ing Barbie Doll.”
This new video comes after Madonna posted some very racy pictures to her Instagram Story, which again got people talking.
