Madonna has revealed her keen interest in collaborating with Kendrick Lamar, praising the rapper’s new album ‘Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers’.The pop star made the comments while on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where she appeared to promote her new remix album ‘Finally Enough Love: 50 Number Ones’.

The compilation features a slew of Madonna’s collaborators throughout the years – among them Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Nicki Minaj and Swae Lee – and Fallon took the opportunity to ask if she had a dream team-up that hadn’t yet taken place.“There’s one artist that I worship more than anything in life and I would love to collaborate with him, and that’s Kendrick Lamar,” Madonna replied. “His new record is history-making.

Mind-bogglingly brilliant. It’s insane.”Elsewhere during her appearance on the show, Madonna linked up with Fallon and The Roots to perform the title track from her eighth studio album, 2000’s ‘Music’.

The rendition took place as part of the show’s Classroom Instruments segment, where The Roots, Fallon and a musical guest perform one of the guest’s songs with toy instruments.For their version of the segment – which last took place in 2021 when Justin Bieber performed ‘Peaches’ – Madonna sang and played triangle.
