Madonna Threatens Smoking Fans at Concert Despite Daughter's Own Habit

Madonna threatened to cancel her concert Wednesday when she spotted fans near the stage smoking.

The pop diva was getting prepared for her concert in Chile when some of her fans decided to puff on a cigarettes, which immediately sent Madonna into a frenzy.

“There are people smoking right now,” the 54-year-old yelled into the mic as she stood on the stage. “No smoking!”

She wasn’t in one of her usual glamorous get ups during the warm up due to the rainy weather, but that certainly didn’t stop her from being her usual demanding self.

“If you’re going to smoke cigarettes, I’m not doing a show,” she continued as she walked over towards the smokers. “You don’t care about me? I don’t care about you. All right?”

The “Girl Gone Wild” songstress waiting a few seconds for a reaction, but the fans weren’t ready to put out their cigs just yet.

“Are we going to play that game? I’m not kidding. I can’t sing if you smoke,” She added. “Entiendes?”

Even her threats to end the show dead in its tracks didn’t encourage the smokers to quit right away, but when the singer’s language to a little more vulgar it was easy to see she meant business.

“You’re looking right at me and smoking cigarettes, like I’m a stupid fu**ing idiot,” she said into the mic before the fans finally put out their cigarettes.

It seems a bit strange to see the “4 minutes” singer getting her panties in a bunch over the smokers when her daughter was caught puffing on her own cig earlier this year.

Back in March, Madge’s 15-year-old daughter Lourdes was proudly smoking a cigarette in NYC when the paparazzi caught her.

Then again, there isn’t any evidence to suggest that Madonna knew about her daughter’s bad habit.

Either way, she has definitely taken a stance against the smokers during the warm up but it will be interesting to see what she does at the real concert when fans are sure to be taking a few puffs during her show.

 

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
