Madonna Responds to Butt Implant Rumors Saying She’s ‘Seeking No One’s Approval’
If there’s one thing Madonna is known for, it’s thinking outside the box and behaving beyond anyone’s approval. Madonna didn’t become the music icon she is today by limiting herself to what many considered mainstream. She pioneered her image to take back the feminine control and question the rules of society.
Most recently, rumors started floating around that she has a butt implant after being filmed in New York. The Queen of Pop’s response? She took to Instagram to say she’s not seeking anyone’s approval. Honestly, it doesn’t get any more “Madonna” that.
Madonna is a ’80s and ’90s legend
Arguably one of the most influential people in popular culture, Madonna is among the few single-name celebrities that have become so famous they don’t need a last name to be recognized. She has often even been referenced as the “Queen of Pop,” dominating in the industry as a performer, singer, and songwriter.
Her biggest hits remain to be 1984’s “Like a Virgin,” 2000’s “Music,” 2007’s “Hey You,” 1990’s “I’m Going Banana’s,” and 1990’s “Hanky Panky.” Even more recent tracks from 2012 — “Give Me All Your Luvin,'” feat. Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. and “B-Day Song,” feat. M.I.A. — are among fan-favorites.
She has accomplished unimaginable success over her two-decade-long reign in the industry, scoring almost 50 awards in the process. And not just any ‘ole award. Madonna has accepted seven Grammy Awards and two Golden Globes.
What sparked the ‘butt implant’ rumors and how she responded
In 2018 (almost 2019!), Madonna appeared in New York to celebrate the coming new year with fans on New Year’s Eve. During her performance at New York’s Stonewall Inn, fans started speculating that the singer had gotten a butt implant or used some kind of padding because her backside looked rounder than usual.
Instead of giving the public a yes or no, the icon clapped back on social media.
Desperately Seeking No Ones Approval………………😂,” Madonna wrote on her Instagram just three days later. “And Entitled to Free Agency Over My Body Like Everyone Else!! Thank you 2019 🎉🎉🎉! Its Going to Be an amazing Year!! 🔥🔥🔥! #2019 #freedom #respect #nofear #nodiscrimination.”
I guess we may never actually know the real answer — but do we need to? Madonna’s a legend, with or without butt implants or padding. And ultimately, her decisions are nobody’s business but herself.
What the music icon is up to today
So, what’s life like for the icon now?
Today, Madonna is a mom of six: Lourdes Leon, Rocco Richie, David Banda, Estere Ciccone, Stelle Ciccone, and Mercy James. But that isn’t it for the superstar since her career first blew up. Even today’s younger generations know the iconic Madonna and occasionally rock out to her “Like a Virgin” and “Vogue.”
More importantly, the “Live to Tell” singer remains active in the spotlight. In fact, her Madonna website recently announced some incredible milestones and partnerships — namely with Warner Music Group. Following the success of her Madame X tour in 2019-early 2000 (with a few pandemic cancellations), the superstar also announced the release of a documentary.
Coming in October 2021, Madonna is releasing her Madame X tour documentary for streaming on Paramount+’s platform. As if that’s not exciting enough, Universal Pictures also announced a highly-anticipated film based on the untold true story of Madonna.
It seems the busy bee who worked hard to get where she’s at in her early twenties is just as relentless in her sixties. In fact, she’s a downright inspiration for women everywhere.
