“Oh my god. My favourite song right now….. Erm…. Anything on Kendrick Lamar’s new album,”

“I don’t play, okay.”

Madonna has long been a fan of Kendrick Lamar’s work. The pop icon appeared on the Jimmy Fallon Show in August 2022, where she discussed her upcoming 50-track version of her dance remix album. Finally, Enough Love: 50 Number One Hits features artists like Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, and Nicki Minaj, amongst others.
