‘You’re welcome b****es’: Madonna discusses being vilified for her openness about her Sєxuality and paving the way for the likes of Miley Cyrus and Cardi B
Madonna spoke about her status as a trailblazer for women in the entertainment industry in a message shared to her Instagram Story on Saturday.
The 64-year-old hitmaker touched on the outrage she’s received over the span of her decades-long career as the bonafide ‘Queen Of Pop’ — specifically being vilified for her hyper-Sєxual persona.
The Grammy Award-winning performer believes that she ‘paved the way’ for the likes of Miley Cyrus, Cardi B and pop culture icon Kim Kardashian.
Madonna began her message by speaking about her iconic S.E.X. pH๏τo book, which was released in 1992. The explicit book sparked outrage while also being praised for its cutting edge nature.
’30 years ago I published a book called S.E.X. in addition to pH๏τos of me naked there were pH๏τos of Men kissing Men, Woman kissing Woman and Me kissing everyone,’ she wrote.
Madonna continued: ‘I also wrote about my Sєxual fantasies and shared my point of view about Sєxuality in an ironic way.’
The Borderline singer went on to express that she was the target of criticism from less open-minded individuals.
‘I spent the new few years being interviewed by narrow minded people who tried to shame me for empowering myself as a Woman,’ she recalled.
Madonna then remarked that she ‘was called a w****, a witch a heretic and the devil’ during the period of time.
The hitmaker went on to express that modern entertainers were allowed to be much more open about their Sєxualities.
‘Now Cardi B can sing about her WAP. Kim Kardashian can grace the cover of any magazine with her naked a** and Miley Cyrus can come in like a wrecking ball,’ she said.

The performer went on to share a duo of videos to her Story, in which she sat down for an interview about her book.
During the sit-down, the interviewer mentioned that he ‘got a fright’ after reading the singer’s book, and she asked him about why he was scared by its content.
Madonna went on to express that she was intrigued by the popular responses to her publication’s content.
‘I think that people’s reactions to specific situations in the book was much more a reflection of that person than me,’ she said.
The singer went on to ask the interviewer: ‘Are you frightened of a woman that can turn herself on?’
