For someone who has nothing to prove, Madonna keeps acting like she’s got something to prove. This time, she filmed herself drinking out of a dog bowl in a video posted to social media. It was presumably in response to ongoing smears from rapper 50 cent.

Madonna Drinks Out of a Dog Bowl While Playing Punk Rock
In the bizarre video posted to Instagram last week, Madonna is basically shown via a montage of herself. The Stooges’ “I Wanna Be Your Dog” plays while she’s posing in a very punk rock video that ends with actual video footage of Madonna drinking out of a silver dog bowl.
The entire escapade is taking place in a garage. Madonna’s hair is long and dyed red and she’s wearing a lime green fuzzy short-sleeved shirt over long black fingerless gloves. She’s also decked out in sequin shorts, fishnet stockings, and black pointy thigh-high boots. And to finish it all off, Madonna’s sporting some very futuristic-looking white sunglass frames (actually they look like they could be a pair of 3D glasses from a movie theater but made with thicker plastic).
It all starts off with Madonna on her lime green Kawasaki bike in the garage. The montage then moves on to Madonna posing by some trippy artwork. Then she’s inspecting items on a garage pantry shelf before squatting suggestively over a bottle of Siracha hot sauce. At that point, Madge makes her way to the floor, appears to writhe for a second, and proceeds to drink from the dog dish.
Try to make sense of it, good luck. The best that comes to mind here is that this is an artistic response to 50 cent, who Madonna has already told to shut it on a previous occasion. He, who is supposed to be Madonna’s friend, keeps making jabs at the pop star on social media, and Madonna thinks it’s bullsh*t.
50 Cent Has a Problem With Madonna Making TikTok Videos to Rap Music
Just a few days before Madonna posted her garage montage video, 50 cent took to social media to complain about her. Specifically, he was complaining about this video, which was posted to TikTok and Instagram.
“I told y’all grand ma was on bullsh*t! like a virgin at 64. LOL #bransoncognac #lecheminduroi” wrote the rapper. The caption accompanied a screenshot of an article showing Madonna and titled, “Madonna Using Rap Music for Clout On TikTok Is Pathetic And Truly Disturbs My Spirit.”
The commentary came after a lifetime of Madonna being Madonna. I want to say that there was something recent that she did, but the truth is, there wasn’t. She’s always over the top and she never ages. We’ve already established that.
It is strange, however, that 50 cent just did this. You see, he already tried to rake Madonna over the coals right about this time last year, and it didn’t go well for him. He didn’t get canceled or anything. It’s more that Madonna just put him in his place, and he probably felt like a schmuck.
50 Cent Also Had a Problem With Madge Showing Skin
The Shade Room has the best synopsis of last year’s brouhaha. Basically, Madonna posted something showing her butt, and 50 cent started being ageist. Then 50 cent posted some shade and Madonna called him out for it. She posted a photo to Twitter of the two of them and said something about how they were supposed to be friends.
Then 50 cent apologized for hurting Madonna’s feelings and said he doesn’t get anything out of it.
“I must have hurt Madonna feelings, she went and dug up a [sic] old MTV photo from 03,” he tweeted. “Ok Im sorry i did not intend to hurt your feelings. I don’t benefit from this in anyway i said what i thought when i saw the picture because of where i had seen it before i hope you accept my apology.” But the tweet was deleted within 48 hours.
Madonna’s Clap Back Was Brutally Honest
A few days later, Madonna posted a video to Instagram addressing 50 cent’s behavior.
“Delayed Clap back for 50 cent And his fake apology. I’ve been busy, better late then never!!! Had. some things I needed to say,” the singer wrote.
“Okay, so this is a message for 50 cent. I want to respond to your response to my response to your post, which was, essentially… You were trying to shame me. You were trying to humiliate me. Yeah. Your apology is fake. It’s bullsh*t and it’s not valid. Let me just hit those 4 or 5 points about your apology being invalid.
“Number 1, it’s not hard to find footage of you and me hanging out.” She plays a clip of about 20 seconds long from BET, where 50 cent is calling Madonna “an old friend of mine.”
“Number 2, an apology is not valid if you don’t know what you’re apologizing for. What you should be apologizing for is your misogynistic, sexist, ageist behavior and remarks.
“Number 3, you didn’t hurt my feelings because I don’t take it personally. I could never take it personally because you’re not coming from an enlightened place.
“Number 4, you say that you’re not benefiting from it. Of course, you’re benefiting from it. That is what social media is all about. You do understand that, right? We post things about ourselves, and we use Instagram and other forms of social media because we want attention. We want people to buy our products. We want people to invest in our brands. We want people to listen to our music. We want people to go to our concerts. We want people to notice us. We want people to like us. There’s nothing wrong with any of those things. But don’t kid yourself if you think you have an Instagram account and you’re not benefiting from it. Shut it down. Stop lying to yourself.
“Okay? So, you’re reposting somebody else’s low level of consciousness posting, that are meant to shame and humiliate other people. That’s f***ed up. You are trying to put a limit on when women should be able to feel good about themselves.
“So, finally, I just want to say, I forgive you, and I hope that one day, you wake up and see a different point of view. I wish you all the best. That’s it. Okay?”
A source close to Madonna told Hollywood Life that she’ll keep standing her ground and couldn’t care less what other people think.
“She has gotten a lot of hateful comments for her risky new photos and for showing too much skin, but she has also gotten so much praise from women who reached out to her and who commented on her photos… And when people like 50 Cent try to come for her, she is going to clap back every time. Madonna is telling her friends that she is going to be a sex symbol until the day that she dies and there is nothing that will ever stop her from being who she is. She believes that, and if people don’t like it, they can look away.”
