Why is Madonna one of the most controversial pop stars of all time? Before cancel culture and social media outrage, Madonna was already at the centre of America's biggest culture wars. Hosts Kai and Emmanuel sit down with writer and Scamfluencers host Scaachi Koul to explore Madonna's most defining controversies, from Like a Prayer to the infamous Sex book, and reveal how she turned feminism, sexuality, and provocation into cultural power. A must-listen for fans of pop history, music, and feminism. Connect with the team!
