Like Madonna, political commentator and author Candace Owens is no stranger to garnering headlines for controversy.

Taking aim at Madge in a scathing review of her otherwise critically acclaimed ‘Celebration Tour,’ Candace royally slammed the Queen of Pop – even likening her current performance skills to that of a 2-year-old.

Claiming the songstress looks ‘lost’ on stage and comparing her dance moves to that of a “zombie,” hop inside to see what the TV personality says that has Madonna’s fans up-in-arms.

Fantasia embraces the ‘Superpower’ embedded within self on her stirring new release.

The uplifting anthem, which was written by The-Dream, serves as the end-credits song on the soundtrack for ‘The Color Purple’ – which the American Idol alum leads in the role of Celie.

Shortlisted for Oscar consideration, Fantasia said of the track:

“Not only is this a song that is so meaningful to the story of The Color Purple, it’s also a song that speaks to my personal life experience. Celie is a character I hold close to my heart as I understand her profoundly. What an honor to have The-Dream write her song – our song – and I hope it moves you in the way it immensely moved me.”

Powered by cutting-edge technology, the unique visual came to fruition by way of Metaphysic, the industry-leading generative AI company.
