Whether on purpose or not, Madonna knows how to make provocative headlines, and her latest TikTok video is no exception. The Queen of Pop shared a clip of herself lip-syncing to trending rap music while flaunting her diamond and lapis grill. She was wearing a black robe with glittering accents, unapologetically showing off her edgy style.
However, fans quickly shifted their focus from her shimmering mouthpiece to something unexpected in the background, which appeared to be a toilet. A white flush bar behind her sparked speculation that she might have been filming from the bathroom. While the video was meant to show her jewelry, social media could not resist commenting on the setting.
Is Madonna embarrassing herself, or is she simply unbothered?

The comments section erupted with jokes about Madonna embarrassing herself by recording in a restroom. Some fans playfully asked if they were honored to be joining her in such a personal space, while others talked about her casually sitting on the toilet while participating in a TikTok trend.
Despite all the taunting, Madonna’s supporters defended her, citing that she has always been a trendsetter who does what she wants. They highlighted her boldness to haters, adding that she is still an icon in the music industry whether she was on the toilet or not.
Madonna is unmoved by the internet’s criticisms
This is not the first time Madonna’s appearance is getting criticized online. She has been scrutinized for everything from her style to rumors of plastic surgery over the years. However, she has consistently handled the attacks, sometimes blaming the entertainment industry for ageism and misogyny.
She even addressed her grills in a previous interview, saying she just likes the way they look and considers them mouth jewelry. Fans can find humor or criticism in that, but one thing is for sure, and that is Madonna still lives life unapologetically.
