Madonna Is Celebrating 30 Years Of 'S.E.X.' In New Exhibition

Madonna is celebrating 30 years of S.E.X.; the 1992 book published simultaneously with her fifth album, Erotica, in a newly refurbished 800-page edition.

The book will be re-released during the Art Basel show in Miami, Florida, in partnership with Yves Saint Laurent and publisher Callaway. Madonna created the art exhibition with YSL creative director Anthony Vaccarello. 

The Vogue singer confirmed the celebration on social media, writing, "I'd like to put you in a trance. ……………YSL presents SEX-Re-Release... Miami Nov 29- Dec 4".

Last month, Madonna marked the 30th anniversary of her provocative coffee table book, S.E.X., reflected on its impact and implied that Cardi B, Miley Cyrus, and Kim Kardashian should be thankful for paving the way for them via her Instagram stories.

"Thirty years ago, I published a book called S.E.X. In addition to photos of me naked, there were photos of Men kissing Men, Woman kissing Woman and Me kissing everyone. I also wrote about my sexual fantasies and shared my point of view about sexuality in an ironic way," she wrote. 

"I spent the next few years being interviewed by narrow-minded people who tried to shame me for empowering myself as a Woman. I was called a whore, a witch, a heretic and the devil."

She continued, "Now Cardi B can sing about her WAP. Kim Kardashian can grace the cover of any magazine with her naked ass and Miley Cyrus can come in like a wrecking ball." She ended the post with a sign-off, "You're welcome bitches……" followed by a clown emoji. 

The post quickly upset Cardi B, who felt disrespected by Madonna calling her a bitch. 

In a series of now-deleted tweets, Cardi B said, "I literally [paid] this woman homage so many times cause I grew up listening to her …she can make her point without putting clown emojis and getting slick out the mouth. These icons really become disappointments once u make it in the industry that's why I keep to myself."

Still tweeting, Cardi B wrote, "nobody gonna lil girl me (specially a white woman). I know exactly what she said and I understand but it's about THE TONE …Calling me bitches and putting clown emojis ? The fuck!" 

Four hours later, however, the feud was over: Cardi B talked to Madonna, which was beautiful. 

Madonna and 50 Cent have also been feuding. 

In June this year, 50 Cent reposted the singer's spicy pictures and mocked her. His caption read: "I hope she didn’t make her kids take this picture. LOL at 63 somebody tell her to chill out please".

Earlier this year, Madonna confirmed that she is directing her own biopic to prevent "misogynistic men" from mistelling her story. Rumours of who will be cast in the lead role have circulated since the initial announcement. Julia Garner, the star of the Netflix hit series Ozark was reportedly offered the position and considered the most likely choice to fill Madonna's shoes. 

Entertainment Weekly have reported that Uncut Gems star Julia Fox has been offered the position of Madonna's longtime friend, actress Debi Mazar.
