“Is Madonna still a thing?”
Well, Forbes has her recently opening a pediatric surgery clinic in Malawi that's already performed 1,600 procedures for local children. She earns over 3 million per tour stop, is worth well over a half-billion dollars, won seven Grammys, has two diamond and god know how many patinum albums, and gets more than 1.5 million you tube views every day.
She was demanding sexual freedom and equality for women, gay people, and people of color - and getting in people's faces about it - when it could still easily end a career, raised and donated millions to AIDS charities and lectured her massive tour crowds explicitly about safe sex years before Ronald Reagn ever said the word AIDS in public and when half the country thought gays were just getting what they deserved, and did all that while making music that would move every single ass off their chairs and onto the dance floor whenever the DJ played any of it.
Nobody is perfect, nobody is a saint, but if anyone throwing shade here has done a hundreth with their lives as she has (SO FAR) with hers, I would be very surprised.
