Madonna liked Kanye West‘s album “DONDA” (Ye). She told V magazine that currently this is the only work that inspires her. She also said that she has issues with the rapper’s political positions, but that his artistic work is really rich.
“The only thing I’ve heard recently that inspired me was Kanye’s ‘Donda’ album. There are very few artists working towards failure (without being held hostage to success). And I feel like he is. I can’t say I agree with all of his policies and the way he thinks about women, single people having sex or the gay community. But his work is on the razor’s edge and it’s inspiring, it’s rare. Everyone had been waiting for so long for their album to be released and when it finally did, everyone else’s album was released too.
And he still stood out”, she praised.
