On Tuesday (October 22), the 'Like A Prayer' superstar shocked fans after she took to her Instagram Story to share a series of raunchy images.

The first picture was a selfie of the icon in her birthday suit, wearing a pair of black glasses and pouting for the camera.

The next image was Madonna once again naked, but this time in full glam makeup with braided pigtails, a glamorous silver necklace, and a pair of cross earrings. She is seen holding a white napkin to her breasts while holding a spoon and digging into her meal.

The final picture showed the 'Hung up' songstress about to put a spoonful of soup in her mouth while leaning forward, once again covering her chest with a napkin.

Many people were left perplexed by the pictures and took to social media to voice their disapproval.

"If you have talent then you don’t need to do this kind of thing," one critic commented on Facebook, while a second slammed: "Come on girl, can't you age gracefully like a decent person?"

A third blasted: "Seriously! Yes in the day she was amazing! Pure talent, but now she is just trying to embarrassingly stay relevant, for all the wrong reasons!"

Meanwhile, some of the 'Material Girl' singer's loyal fans rushed to her defense, with one person pointing out that "age doesn’t define you, you feel how you feel, no matter what your age is," adding: "I welcome Madonna to do this, just to push other [boundaries] of [society's] expectations of what the norm should be!"

"If you’ve got it flaunt it, it’s her choice in life. She’s happy that’s all that matters," another person hit back. "She [just] living her best life ... she is the Madonna after all remember?" someone remarked.

The controversial pictures come a few months after the Grammy-winning singer concluded her Celebration Tour, which was a celebration of her incredible 40-year career.

The show began on October 14, 2023, at the O2 Arena in London and ended on May 4, 2024, with a free concert on Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The tour grossed $178.1 million with a $208.85 average ticket price and an average attendance of 13,378 people per show, according to Forbes.
