Kendrick Lamar has no shortage of famous fans, but perhaps one of his unlikeliest admirers is Madonna.
In a video shared on Instagram on Monday (March 31), the iconic popstar was being interviewed about her outfit by The People’s Gallery when she was asked what her current favorite song was.

Madonna replied: “Oh my God… Ummm… Anything on Kendrick Lamar’s new album,” referencing his chart-topping LP GNX.
She then added: “I don’t play, okay?”
This is not the first time that the “Like a Prayer” legend has expressed her love for Kendrick Lamar.
Back in 2022, Madonna appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and detailed her desire to work with the rapper.

“There’s one artist that I worship more than anything in life and I would love to collaborate with him, and that’s Kendrick Lamar,” she said.
“His new record is history-making. Mind-bogglingly brilliant. It’s insane,” she added, praising his deeply vulnerable and introspective album Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers.
While a collaboration between the two has yet to materialize, Madonna has worked with a number of rappers throughout her lengthy career, including Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Nas, Nicki Minaj and Missy Elliott.
She has also collaboratored with noted Hip Hop producers such as Timbaland and Mike Dean and had a close relationship with 2Pac before he was murdered in 1996.

Madonna was also recently linked romantically to NLE Choppa after the Memphis rapper posted a picture of them attending New York Fashion Week together along with the caption: “c. u. n. t.”
When it was later posted to The Shade Room, the comments section exploded with speculation — especially because Madonna, who is 66, has been known to date younger men in recent years following her divorce from film director Guy Ritchie.

Neither Madonna nor NLE Choppa commented on the rumors that they were an item.
