Few artists command as wide a following as Kendrick Lamar, and among his most unexpected admirers is none other than Madonna. During a recent interview featured on Instagram, the Material Girl was quizzed about her current musical favorites while discussing her striking outfit with The People’s Gallery. Without hesitation, Madonna proclaimed, “Oh my God… Ummm… Anything on Kendrick Lamar’s new album,” referring to his latest chart-topping release, GNX. Her enthusiastic endorsement was punctuated by the declaration, “I don’t play, okay?”

This declaration marks yet another instance of Madonna’s admiration for Lamar, a sentiment she first expressed during her appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in 2022. At that time, she shared her aspiration to collaborate with the acclaimed rapper, stating, “There’s one artist that I worship more than anything in life, and I would love to collaborate with him, and that’s Kendrick Lamar.” She continued to praise his work, describing his groundbreaking album, Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers, as “history-making” and “mind-bogglingly brilliant.”

Madonna’s Hip-Hop Legacy and NLE Choppa Romance Rumors

While the anticipated collaboration between these two titans of music has yet to come to fruition, Madonna’s illustrious career has seen her partner with several prominent figures in the hip-hop arena. Her collaborations with Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, and Missy Elliott have consistently challenged the boundaries of genre. Additionally, she has teamed up with renowned hip-hop producers like Timbaland and Mike Dean and shared a significant bond with the late 2Pac prior to his tragic passing in 1996.

In recent news, Madonna has found herself in the spotlight for rumored romantic ties with rising rapper NLE Choppa. The speculation ignited after the Memphis artist shared a photograph of the two at New York Fashion Week, captioning it with the cryptic phrase: “c. u. n. t.” The post subsequently gained traction on The Shade Room, eliciting a flurry of comments and conjecture. At 66, Madonna has garnered attention for her penchant for dating younger men in the years following her divorce from filmmaker Guy Ritchie, yet neither she nor NLE Choppa has addressed the swirling rumors regarding their relationship.
