The murder of George Floyd has elicited reactions from people of all walks of life, including pop icon Madonna. The singer has been a focus of conversation after sharing her puzzling "Quarantine Diaries" on Instagram, and on Thursday, Madonna posted a three-and-a-half-minute video of her son, David Banda, dancing in tribute to Floyd. David is seen showing off Madonna's good friend Michael Jackson moves as he dances to the late icon's controversial song, "They Don't Care About Us."

"As news of George Floyds brutal murder travels around the world my son David Dances to honor and pay tribute to George and His Family and all Acts of Racism and Discrimination that happen on a daily basis in America," Madonna wrote in a caption to the clip. She ended her message with the hashtags "#davidbanda #JusticeforGeorgeFloyd #MichaelJackson."
It didn't take long for the video to trend on Twitter, and even Guapdad 4000 to weigh in with a joke. "Madonna your sons dance has cured the world of all racism thank you for those impeccable moves," the rapper wrote. "I can’t imagine what the frick we would do with out it !!" While people have commended the pop icon for her addition to raising awareness, some people have claimed that she missed the mark.

View this post on InstagramDrake Ties Madonna For Most-Ever Top 10 Hits
Drake lands another Top 10 hit in "Pain 1993" with Playboi Carti, which ties him with Madonna for the most-ever Top 10 singles on the Billboard Hot 100.
Drake is one of the most accomplished artists of all time. Whenever he releases a song or a project, the people listen. As one of the most impactful rappers ever, he also owns a number of chart records. This week, he managed to get even closer to his next big feat: becoming the artist with the most Top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 ever.
This week's update of the Billboard Hot 100 was a very big event. Nobody knew which track would stand tall as the favorite for the top spot but, finally, Doja Cat and Nicki Minaj were named the champions of the week with "Say So." Elsewhere in the Top 10, Drake debuted at #7 with "Pain 1993," his Playboi Carti collaboration, and it marks an important moment in both of their careers.
For one, this is the first time Playboi Carti has been in the Top 10. Drake, on the other hand, has almost been there more often than any other artist in history. Alongside "Toosie Slide," which is currently at #4, Drake just earned his 38th entry in the Billboard Hot 100's Top 10. That effectively ties him with Madonna as the two biggest hitmakers in chart history.
All he needs is one more big hit and he can boast about being the most accomplished hitmaker in Hot 100 history. When do you think it'll happen?
Madonna Claims She Tested Positive For Antibodies & Will "Breathe In COVID-19 Air"
Madonna continues to confuse the public with her "Quarantine Diaries" where she shares her thoughts.
Lately, pop icon Madonna has been sharing intimate thoughts on her "Quarantine Diaries" series. She has previously delivered brief clips of herself talking aimlessly about whatever is on her mind, and of course, most of the subject matter has to do with how she's coping uring the COVID-19 quarantine. She recently gave her the latest installment and unsurprisingly, it's just as strange as its predecessors.
Ethan Miller / Staff / Getty Images"Took a test the other day. And I found out that I have the antibodies," she said. "So tomorrow, I’m just going to go for a long drive in a car, and I’m going to roll down the window, and I’m going to breathe in, I’m going to breathe in the COVID-19 air. Yup. I hope the sun is shining." Many are calling Madonna's questionable antics a form of art to grab the attention of the masses, while others think she's losing her mind—either way, it makes for good entertainment.
Authorities have asserted that they haven't done enough research to determine whether people who have recovered from COVID-19 can become reinfected in the future. "Just because there's no evidence in this area doesn't mean that there's no immunity," Madonna added. "It just means that the studies haven't been done yet." Watch the "Material Girl" icon share a few thoughts below.

Madonna has been sharing her thoughts in her "Quarantine Diaries" and the latest episode is just as strange as the others.
Being isolated hits people in different ways. Some have reveled in having alone time, others can't wait to have their children back in school, there are those who have just been working hard over the last few weeks, and then there's Madonna, who openly admitted that she's struggling. The uber-famous pop icon has taken to her Quarantine Diaries series where she shares her thoughts in a stream-of-consciousness type of delivery.
Stephen Lovekin / Staff / Getty ImagesOn Thursday (April 9) morning, Madonna returned with another two-minute episode of Quarantine Diaries where she gave a slew of information while sitting a dark room at a typewriter. "We can’t always have a good day," the 61-year-old entertainer said. "I didn’t sleep last night, not one minute and today I have been dysfunctional.”
Madonna, who has reportedly been under quarantine in London, also shared that she's lost three people in the last 24 hours. Her cousin, her security guard's brother, and Orlando Puerta, a musician who was responsible many of the dance remixes to her songs, have all passed away. She didn't reveal how they died or if it was COVID-19-related, but nevertheless, she is clearly—and understandably—upset.
Watch Madonna below as she also talks about one of her kids. “If my son says that I have a broken hip one more time, I might implode,” she said. “If someone says you’re broken so many times a day, you do start to feel that way.”

Tupac Shakur Bandanas, Hotel Bill, Handwritten Poem All Up For Auction
Tupac Shakur items are hot sellers for auctioneers, and now one dozen personal items are up for sale to the highest bidder.
Fans will pay a pretty penny to get items that were once owned by their favorite artists, and articles belonging to Tupac Shakur are hot commodities. The world lost a great talent in 1996 when Tupac was murdered in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas. It’s unsurprising that collectors and fans of the rap icon continue to purchase and bid on items in hopes of owning a part of history.
We’ve seen his letter to pop star Madonna and his prison polaroids hit the auction block, and now Gotta Have Rock and Roll have a few more keepsakes for sale. The auctioneers have numerous Tupac-related items including two bandanas, one blue and one red, reportedly worn by the late rapper. “Tupac Shakur owned and worn blue bandana ‘do-rag,'” they wrote in the description, mistaking the folded and tied bandana for a du-rag. “The bandana came from the collection of a very close family friend of Tupac’s. Very good condition.” They’re estimated to bring in upwards of $4,000 each.
Other Tupac Shakur items for sale include a Death Row Records All Eyez On Me press release, the rapper’s hotel bill from The Mondrian, his diamond nose stud, a diamond gold ring, his handwritten lyrics to an unreleased song, a handwritten letter, a handwritten poem, and more.
Madonna Shares Puzzling Bathtub Video About Coronavirus
Madonna strangely filmed a video about coronavirus from her bathtub, referring to COVID-19 as “the great equalizer.”
Madonna is one of the most legendary forces that the music world has ever seen, impacting sonics for multiple decades. However, she is also one of the most peculiar pop stars to have ever lived.
From tonguing down Drake on stage to her countless attempts to appear cool as she enters her sixties, Madonna is definitely pretty odd. With all the uncertainty currently occupying our world, Madge decided to deliver her own state of address, speaking directly to her followers on Instagram about the novel coronavirus, referring to COVID-19 as “the great equalizer” in a puzzling new video.
Ethan Miller/Getty Images“That’s the thing about COVID-19 — it doesn’t care about how rich you are, how famous you are, how funny you are, how smart you are, where you live, how old you are, what amazing stories you can tell. It’s the great equalizer,” said Madonna with a troubling piano track playing in the background.
“What’s terrible about it is what’s great about it. What’s terrible about it is that it’s made us all equal in many ways — and what’s wonderful about it is that it’s made us all equal in many ways. Like I used to say at the end of ‘Human Nature’ every night, we are all in the same boat. And if the ship goes down, we’re all going down together.”
Watch the bizarre video below.
Hailey Bieber Checks Out $33 Million Mansion Previously Owned By Madonna
Hailey and Justin Bieber have been searching for a new home and Madonna’s $33 million mansion might be the one.
Hailey and Justin Bieber have been “relationship goals” since they first started dating. Now, they’re looking to upsize, their home and family. Hailey was recently spotted checking out a $33 million dollar mansion that once belonged to the legendary pop-singer, Madonna.
Although Justin Bieber is only 26-years-old, he has been a pop-mogul for over a decade now. His wife, Hailey Bieber, is an internationally-recognized supermodel and television host, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that their budget is as high as it is.
As reported by the Daily Mail, before purchasing a home in Beverly Hills for $8.5 million, Hailey and Justin were renting a property in Toluca Lake for $100,000 a month. Even with a budget as high as theirs, the couple seems adamant about finding the right home for them. Last month they were seen touring a $20 million Brentwood Circle property in Los Angeles.

The home Hailey checked out recently, belonged to Madonna between 2003 and 2013. She bought it from actor Sela Ward for $12 million and was able to sell it to a private equity investor for $19.5 million. A year and a half later, however, it was resold for a whopping $27 million. It is no doubt that the 9-bedroom, 14-bathroom castle might be too much for some, but given that the Bieber’s have expressed their desire to have children soon, they might need as many rooms as they can get.
