Michelle Williams proves she doesn’t just sing about being a survivor; she is a survivor.

Despite having publicly enjoyed dizzying heights of fame as a member of top-selling girl group Destiny’s Child as well as by her lonesome on the Broadway and Gospel circuits, she privately battled severe bouts with depression – a journey the ‘Journey to Freedom’ singer dishes on earnestly and honestly in new page-turner, ‘Checking In’ (released May 25).

After nearly 40 years in the limelight, Madonna continues to prove ‘Express Yourself’ is more than just a classic hit for her; it – often to controversial measure – is a way of life.

Nearly two years after making headlines for using her provocative ‘God Control’ music video to advocate for the reform of gun control laws in the United States, the 62-year-old diva continues to use her platform to speak out against related injustices – namely the deaths of unarmed men of color at the hands of police.

No stranger to criticism for such statements, Madge fielded a variety of responses when she took to Instagram earlier this week to weigh in on the killing of 20-year-old Daunte Wright – a Black Minneapolis man who police allege was shot and killed accidentally at a traffic stop.  To the surprise of many, however, one commenter’s criticism on the matter got a royal clap back from the Queen of Pop.
