Madonna has drawn comparisons between herself and Kanye West - describing the outspoken rapper as 'the black Madonna' and her 'comrade' in creating controversy within the media.
The pop-icon recognised similarities between hersef and Kanye when they collaborated on her thirteenth studio album Rebel Heart - telling the New York Daily News that they bonded over their boundary-pushing ways.
“Kanye is the black Madonna,” she told the publication. “We know, and recognise, that we have that in common. We’re comrades in the envelope-pushing genre.”
Madonna also spoke-out about those who critisise the way she dresses and her age: "I mostly hear it from women. I feel I should be hearing support – like, ‘Good for you’. I’m opening doors for women behind me who one day won’t have to deal with this shit that I deal with.”
It doesn't look like the singer is going to change any time soon either, telling the news site “I take care of myself. I’m in good shape. I can show my ass when I’m 56, or 66 — or 76. Who’s to say when I can show my ass? It’s sexism. It’s ageism. And it’s a kind of discrimination.”
We're sure Kanye and Madge will continue to grab headlines for many years to come.
Madonna announced the huge 35 city tour earlier this month, and will head to the UK in December. Tickets will be on general sale March 16. The full tour dates are below.
