Madonna doesn’t give a … in the face of criticism regarding her 2023 Grammys appearance.

The singer posted a wild video montage on Instagram of herself backstage at the awards show with Sam Smith, Cardi B, DJ Honey Dijon, rapper Ab-Soul and songwriter Jozzy.

Madonna, 64, slyly French-kisses Jozzy, 32, in one clip. In another, she mimes fellatio while Smith, 30, giggles.

The Queen of Pop also intones, “Jesus is in the house, and so is the mother of God”.

Elsewhere in the video, Cardi, 30, says to the camera, “Erotica”, naming Madonna’s 1992 album.

The legendary entertainer attended Sunday’s 65th annual Grammys to introduce Smith and Kim Petras’ controversial Unholy performance.

Madonna’s physical appearance caused some viewers to melt down, with Twitter users comparing her ever-changing features to a vampire, a Madonna impersonator and even “haunted Tupperware”.

The songstress hit back at her haters in a lengthy caption alongside her NSFW video with Jozzy and Smith.

“Once again I am caught in the glare of ageism and misogyny that permeates the world we live in,” she wrote.

“A world that refuses to celebrate women past the age of 45. And feels the need to punish herif she continues to be strong willed, hardworking and adventurous.”

Madonna went on to note that she has “never apologised” for what she has worn over the years and is “not going to start” now.

The star has courted controversy for being sexual and provocative ever since she rose to fame in the mid-80s.

“I have been degraded by the media since the beginning of my career,” she wrote. “But I understand that this is all a test and I am happy to do the trailblazing so that all the women behind me can have an easier time in the years to come. In the words of Beyonce ‘You won’t break my soul’.”

“I look forward to many more years of subversive behaviour, pushing boundaries, standing up to the patriarchy and most of all enjoying my life,” Madonna concluded, thumbing her nose at critics.
