"Madonna was down to mud wrestle with Miranda Kerr": Miley Cyrus recalls lining up her squad for a music video; the record label shut down the idea

Miley Cyrus
, the 'Angeles Like You' singer, revealed that she had her whole squad lined up to star in her music video, including the Queen of Pop,
Madonna
. Not only was the 66-year-old down to feature in Miley's video, but she also gave a green signal to mud wrestle with Miranda Kerr.
Madonna was ready to mud wrestle...
In an interview with the Ringer's Every Single Podcast, the 32-year-old singer revealed that she had convinced her celebrity friends to star in her '4×4' music video. 'I had everyone already lined up. Nelly … Madonna was down to do the video,
Miranda Cosgrove
,' she said.
Miley Cyrus had an original squad before
Taylor Swift
...
Referring to Taylor Swift's 'Bad Blood' from '1989' music video, Miley jokingly said, 'This was before Taylor [Swift] had a lot of famous people in her crew. I was friends with famous people first.
I wanted to do that. I had a f—ing squad, and my squad was very, very cool.'
Even Madonna was ready to sign up for the music video, but Miley's record label, RCA, had other plans - and they eventually shut down the idea. She quipped that her record label didn't want her 'taking about pit bull [and] piss' in the song they would be promoting, according to Billboard.
The Grammy winner recalled, 'Madonna was down to mud wrestle with Miranda Kerr.'
"I was like, 'I'm gonna get all these girls, all these supermodels, all these Victoria's Secret models and all of these pop icons to come to my dad's farm, get in the back of 4x4s, and we're gonna mud wrestle, and we're gonna go out and do doughnuts,' Cyus explained the idea for her music video.
Dua Lipa
shouldn't have featured in 'Prisoner'...
Later in the episode, the 'Wrecking Ball' singer stated that she and her former record label, RCA, weren't on the same page. Miley said that she wouldn't have collaborated with Dua Lipa in the song 'Prisoner' in the album 'Plastic Hearts.' 'No shade to Dua Lipa, it just isn't cohesive with the album,' Miley said without any hesitation. Instead, Cyrus said that Dua Lipa would be better in something like 'Endless Summer Vacation' or 'Wildcard' - even 'River.

Indian-origin Canadian rapper Tommy Genesis faces backlash for dressing as Goddess Kali: 'Deliberately chose to mock Hinduism'

Indian-origin Canadian rapper Tommy Genesis slammed for mocking Hinduism and Christianity in her latest album. Canadian rapper Tommy Genesis's Indian-origin was dragged as she received a massive backlash for her music video True Blue in which she dressed as Goddess Kali. Both Hindus and Christians slammed the music video as dressed as Goddess Kali, the singer provocatively posed with a Christian cross. Indian rapper Raftaar publicly condemned the video on Instagram, calling it a 'mockery of my religion' and urging fans to report it on YouTube. Tommy Genesis, also known as Genesis Yasmine Mohanraj, was born in Canada to a Malayali-Tamil-Swedish family. Her father, Mohanraj, is a Tamil-Malayali Christian who emigrated from India to Canada when he was young. His parents, Tommy Genesis's grandparents, were a scientist and a nurse who moved to Canada in response to a newspaper ad seeking professionals in their fields. Tommy Genesis' mother is of Swedish descent. Tommy is known for her provocative, genre-defying music that explores themes of gender, identity, and sexuality, often describing herself as a 'fetish rapper.' She gained prominence in the underground rap scene, with Dazed magazine labeling her 'the internet's most rebellious underground rap queen' in 2016 "Tommy Genesis, from a Tamil-Malayali Christian background, mocks Hindu symbols in her 'True Blue' video for shock value. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Run Your Business Like a Pro - Top Trending Accounting Software (Check Now) Accounting ERP Click Here Undo This isn't art, it's cultural insult, plain and shameless," a social media comment said. "bro i'm not even a hindu or a christian but this was so uncomfortable to watch like it just feels so off. what's with the mindset of mocking other religions culture and beliefs for clout? the insane part is that tommy genesis is an indian plus the song and music is just AWFUL," another wrote. "Her character in the latest track TRUE BLUE is described as 'Freak Of India' on the posters as you can see on the top of the poster below. Her ancestors were priests. Her father is a converted Christian. So she is apparently angry on hindus for the way they treated her father and then she is also angry on christians as they did not allower her in the church because she is a queer. And she made this video mocking both the religion," one wrote.
