Revealed! Drake and Madonna had secret fling

Drake and Madonna had a secret romance back in 2015 that they've never spoken about.

According to the Sun, Drake who is 28 years Madonna's junior, hooked up with the Queen of Pop after his relationship with Rihanna stalled,but both parties vowed to keep it quiet.The Sun claims their affair was going on before that infamous on-stage kiss at Coachella, which went viral for Drake's expression of disgust.


But he was reportedly just caught by surprise at Madonna's very public advances - not grossed out, as a lot of people thought at the time.A source told the newspaper:
"Everyone in Madonna's circle was totally aware there was a brief fling between Madonna and Drake in 2015.They knew it wasn't going to last forever, obviously, but both of them were single at the time."There was definitely a massive attraction between them. Drake has a track record with older women too so Madonna is absolutely his type."

Please bring Mercy to me-Grandmother of adopted African daughter begs to see her

A heartbroken grandmother in Malawi has begged Madonna: “Please bring my little Mercy to me.” 

Sickly 73-year-old Lucy Chekechiwa pleaded for “one last chance” to be with the grandchild she has not seen since her controversial adoption by the singer in 2009.

Madonna – who had adopted another orphan, David Banda, three years previously ,promised to keep them in touch with their African roots and heritage.

But Lucy said:

 “I have not seen Mercy since she left and it leaves me in pain.

"Madonna has not been in communication with me and I cannot understand why. She brings Mercy to Malawi but not to see me.

“Why won’t she just come to see me? The pain is in my heart. I am old and ill and anything could happen. I want to see her before it is too late.”

Lucy had just visited her poorly-supplied local clinic to ask for help for a fever and cough. Her failing physical health is compounded by her despair.

Her teenage daughter Mwandida died eight days after giving birth to Mercy in January 2006. The child was taken into an orphanage because Lucy could not afford to look after her.

Sitting on reed matting on the red earth outside her mud hut home, Lucy said:

 “I am thankful for Madonna in what she has given Mercy but I did not expect to never see her again or hear nothing.

"It would not take too much to come and see me and make me happy. It would be good for Mercy as well.

“I am heartbroken and think about her every day.

“I am asking Madonna to bring Mercy to see me next time she comes. Please bring my grand-daughter to me.”

Neighbours feel she has been cheated and one said:

“She carries the loss of Mwandida and Mercy around with her. You can see it.

"All she wants is to see her grandchild and for the grandchild to see her. Madonna should do that.”

Madonna, who has two natural children – Lourdes, 19, and 15-year-old Rocco – returned to Malawi in 2010, 2013 and in 2014, when she took Mercy with her.She says Mercy and David, both aged 10, will visit annually so family and heritage feature strongly in their upbringing.

But Lucy said the visits have yet to include a trip to her home, even though Blantyre has an airport.

“I hope Mercy is happy and I am sure that is what Madonna wants as well,” she said, as she gazed at local newspaper cuttings of the star’s last visit to Malawi.

“Whatever she feels about me, it will be bad for Mercy not to see her grandmother once more.

“I only have love for her.”

Madonna blast critics of her racy Met ball outfit..

Madonna has fired back at critics over her Met ball outfit ..The 57 year old was blasted for flaunting her body at her age ad some termed it disgraceful and desperate.In response, she says women should be allowed to wear what they want irrespective of their age.

"We have fought and continue to fight for civil rights and gay rights around the world. When it comes to Women's rights we are still in the dark ages. My dress at the Met Ball was a political statement as well as a fashion statement. The fact that people actually believe a woman is not allowed to express her sexuality and be adventurous past a certain age is proof that we still live in an age-ist and sexist society. 

I have never thought in a limited way and I'm not going to start. We cannot effect change unless we are willing to take risks By being fearless and By taking the road leas traveled by. Thats how we change history. If you have a problem with the way I dress it is simply a reflection of your prejudice. I'm not afraid to pave the way for all the girls behind me‼️ As Nina Simone once said, the definition of freedom is being fearless. I remain Unapologetic and a Rebel ❤️ in this life and all the others. Join my fight for Gender. Equality!"

Father of Madonna's adopted son blasts singer's lifestyle

 

The father of Madonna 's adopted son David Banda has slammed her lifestyle following her public fallout with other son Rocco.Yohane - who gave up David for adoption in 2006 when he was seven-months-old - told The Sun: “

Madonna and Guy’s custody battle turning bitter and nasty is a huge concern.I’d like to know what’s going on behind closed doors and why Rocco wanted to leave his mum and live with his dad like that."“My children are all very close and have lots of fun together, which is how life should be for brothers and sisters.One child living in New York and another in London sounds like an unhappy situation to me.”

Madonna's behaviour in general, he believes, is a bad influence on David: He continued

"What I have heard about Madonna’s lifestyle since her divorce from Guy sounds quite shocking.Her having much younger boyfriends isn’t in line with Malawian culture at all. David would not be exposed to that sort of thing here. It’s not how we live. We have strong family values."
