Madonna and Karol G are rumored to release a collaboration.

The rumored collaboration between Madonna and Karol G was met with diverse reactions from fans, with one fan asking Madonna for a solo album with no features or remixes.

"I have NOT waited 6 years for a new madonna record only for it to feature garbage. enough. we want a solo album. weve had enough garbage features and awful remixes, stick to the alleged confessions 2.0."

@ThePopTingz No, no, no! If her next album must have collaborations, they have to be with strong Grade A artists, or alternatively, a next trend / next big thing, that will have an effect. Nobody in the UK knows Carol G and it would flop like Medellin did if a single!

@ThePopTingz Just a rumor I hope. Madonna doesn't need another failed collaboration with a Latino artist.

@ThePopTingz Out of every name she could peak, she chooses only some annoying a** singers, oh Madonna the dumb b***h that you're

Madonna recently celebrated her 67th birthday

On August 18, 2025, Madonna celebrated her 67th birthday with a trip to Siena, Italy, joined by her boyfriend and children. The singer checked off a long-held wish from her bucket list as she finally experienced the historic Palio horse race (which occurs on July 2 and August 18 every year) on her birthday this year.

The Queen of Pop shared a video montage on Instagram documenting the celebration. The clips showed her and her children watching the race, mingling with locals, and celebrating the occasion with a Labubu cake that read, "Happy Birthday Madudu."

She captioned the post:

"My Dream for many years has been to watch the Palio horse race in Siena that takes place on my birthday, August 16, since 1482!! There are no words to describe The excitement , the suspense and the Pageantry!! A truly sacred ritual to witness thousands of people hushed to a silence before the race begins! The race itself is impossible to describe. Grazie Mille! Dreams do come true! Happy Birthday to me!!! Ciao Italia!"

On a musical front, the singer is currently working on the follow-up to her 2005 album, Confessions On A Dance Floor. She announced the project, tentatively titled Confessions 2, via a social media post on Valentine's Day this year, though no release date has been set.

An insider told Page Six that the singer has been "throwing herself into the studio" to work on the album. According to the report, dated August 23, 2025, the source stated that Madonna found Confessions 2 therapeutic, adding:

“She is throwing herself into the studio again, and it’s healing for her. She keeps calling this album medicine. She says the album is about ‘dancing through the pain’ and it has a story to it. The first ‘Confessions’ was about escape, but this one is about survival. She’s lived a lot since 2005, and this is therapy set to a beat.”

According to the source, the singer was reportedly disappointed by the low sales of Veronica Electronica, which she partly attributed to ageism. However, she was looking to reinvent herself with Confessions 2.

Veronica Electronica (2025) was named after Madonna's alter ego from her Ray of Light era, following the original album's release in 1998.
