Madonna will perform her fourth performance in Brazil, and those who are unable to be present to watch the show will be able to follow her performance live on Globo, Multishow and Globoplay. The first time she was in the country was in 1994.

In these years of her career, Madonna has become an artist known for her firm opinions and for not being afraid to face controversy, whether with other artists, journalists or even ex-boyfriends.

Just this week, Jesus Luz revealed that he had a “disagreement” and decided not to attend the show. “I have to take a stand. There’s no way to pretend that everything is fine. I had a disagreement with her last week via text, so I’m not going to the show,” said the model and DJ.

This episode involving the singer’s ex-boyfriend adds to a list of disagreements that Madonna has collected over the years, including moments of tension with other artists and personalities. The details of this disagreement with Luz were not revealed. The Brazilian was with her from 2008 to 2010.

Before that, in 1991, Madonna took on the Vatican by refusing changes to her show following recommendations from Pope John Paul II, resulting in a controversial scene in Rome. This is because she did not want to remove the masturbation scene in the performance of “Like a Prayer”.

An interview with host David Letterman in 1994 became famous when Madonna arrived in a pair of panties and suggested he smell her, in response to nasty comments he had made that she had “slept with a lot of people in the entertainment industry.” .

Finally, an interview with Brazilian journalist Marília Gabriela, in 1998, was marked by embarrassing moments, showing mutual discomfort and unfriendly words. That’s because Madonna didn’t seem to understand the questions and the communicator asked the singer not to have short answers.
