Madonna has been in showbiz for decades now. As she achieved success, the "Vogue" singer has also hurdled tons of controversies in the past and continues to do so at present. New rumors have it that the Queen of Pop has been dumped by her younger boyfriend and it's taking a toll on her concert tour.
The National Enquirer published a story this week claiming Madonna's 25-year-old boyfriend, Ahlamalik Williams, broke up with her recently and because of it, her tour crew has been struggling in dealing with her drama. A source of the outlet claimed Madonna, 61, has been "hell to deal with" as she is lashing out on everyone on her Madame X tour.
Madonna's suffering, allegedly, started when she tried to justify her love for Ahlamalik to his parents over the holidays. The insider claimed the singer got rejected and the "humiliation" has negatively impacted the singer's recent performances.
The source claimed Madonna has been checking herself in the mirror a lot more lately. The tabloid added Madonna has also canceled eight shows on her Madame X tour and it was allegedly due to the singer's reaction to being dumped.
Gossip Cop has debunked the National Enquirer story. The site stressed that Madonna and Williams are still very much together. In fact, the "Vogue" singer shared on Instagram a photo of her and her beau kissing after she wrapped up the London leg of her Madame X tour.
"Thank you London. Could not have done it without the support of all my loved ones," Madonna wrote in the caption.
Gossip Cop also noted that Madonna doesn't need to "justify" her love for Williams. Ahlamalik's father has publicly stated late last year that he has no problem with his son dating an older woman. There were also reports that she invited Ahlamalik's parents to her 2020 shows in London and France.
Madonna and Ahlamalik Williams first met in 2015 when he auditioned for Madonna's Rebel Heart Tour. He has been joining the pop superstar's tours as her backup dancer since then.
On the issue of canceled tour stops, Gossip Cop noted that the "Like a Virgin" singer has been canceling shows since her tour started but it was because of physical injury. Earlier this year, Madonna announced that she had canceled the first London show of her Madame X world tour because of injury. In November, she told her audience in San Francisco that she had a torn ligament and a bad knee.
Madonna's next tour stop is in Paris. She is supposed to kick off Madame X in the French city on February 20. However, the first day of her Paris tour has already been canceled, so as the February 25 performance. The "Like A Prayer" songstress will start her Paris concert on February 22 instead.
