Kylie Minogue has teased that a possible collaboration with Madonna might be on the cards, after their recent appearance on stage together.
The two pop icons united earlier this month (March 7) on one night of Madonna’s ‘Celebration’ tour at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles. Joining forces for International Women’s Day, they sang a rendition of Minogue’s hit 2001 song ‘Can’t Get You Out Of My Head’, as well as Gloria Gaynor’s girl-power anthem ‘I Will Survive’.
Speaking to Variety at the Vanity Fair Oscars party on March 10, the Australian fielded a question about the possibility of the two artists working on a studio collaboration together.
“Maybe. Who knows? Let’s see,” she responded, tantalisingly.
“Now, this is what we call survival,” Madonna said during the gig, wearing a leather jacket and cowboy boots. “It’s a privilege for me to be up here singing with you… God bless you, never give up.”
Minogue, who was wearing a black Madonna t-shirt also told the crowd she felt “amazing” for joining the singer on stage, and explained that the duet had not happened before as they both like to “take our time”. Check out footage of the moment below.
Following the set, the ‘Padam Padam’ hitmaker took to X to share a clip of the collaboration. “Madonna It’s been a long time coming!!! Loved being with you,” she wrote. “Celebration Tour and it is now International Women’s Day …. Thank you and Love Love Love.”
The appearance at Madonna’s recent show in Los Angeles came just days after Kylie Minogue attended the 2024 BRIT Awards where she received the award for Global Icon.
Speaking to NME on the red carpet on the night, the singer revealed that she was open to more collaborations in the future as it leads to her exploring new avenues with her music.
“I just love collaboration and stepping into different [genres]. Being malleable and seeing what’s possible,” she said.
“I like all change. Who would’ve thought I’d do a murder ballad with Nick Cave [1996’s ‘Where The Wild Roses Grow’]? Or sing with Kermit the Frog?” she added. “There are so many artists I love, and every collaboration takes you somewhere you didn’t know you’d go. So watch this space! You never know, something might come of tonight.”
NEWS
In recent months, much of the news surrounding 50 Cent has been from his relentless Instagram trolling campaign. He was one of the first to start taking shots at Diddy last year when the first lawsuit against him filed by Cassie broke. Unsurprisingly, he's continued his trolling throughout the controversial Lil Rod lawsuit and the rap mogul's homes being raided. That campaign has included just about any "evidence" 50 can find including inmate recordings and AI-generated images. He's also taken shots at almost anyone who comes up in the story, for which he's been threatened with violence.
But now he's trying to expand a different project he started last year. According to AllHipHop, he opened up G-Unit studios in Shreveport earlier this month following approval granted last year. Part of the celebration even included the town labeling it's opening day, April 18, as 50 Cent day. “Through the expansion of G-Unit in Shreveport, my aim is to embody the spirit of conscious capitalism to focus on creating jobs, stimulating commerce and contributing to the economic growth of this vibrant community. I envision [making] Shreveport a beacon of the entertainment industry,” he said during the launch of the studio. Now he has even more ambitions for the area. Check out his newest plans below.
His next proposal to the city centers around a sports and entertainment complex. He's proposing turning the Expo Hall into the new G-Unit sponsored complex and has some ambitious goals for it. The pitch includes mentions of professional basketball outings, a variety of other sports including boxing and MMA lineups. But the center can also host concerts and a variety of expos and conventions. The same city council that approved the last building will also vote on this one.
What do you think of 50 Cent looking to expand his reach in Shreveport after opening G-Unit Studios earlier this month? Do you think the city will also approve a sports and entertainment complex? Let us know in the comment section below.
