“King of Pop- Michael Jackson
Queen of Pop- Janet Jackson
Prince of pop- Bieber
Princess of Pop- Britney Spears
The Pop princess- Rihanna
Queen of music- Beyonce,” she wrote on the social media platform.

Madonna (mostly white) fans were tight at Madge’s omission from the Queen of Pop title. Clearly, they take their mediocre idols seriously. Of course, they sounded off on Twitter. But if we’re keeping it a buck– Madonna could never. And rightfully so. In 2017, Complex reported that 90s Madonna was something like a hater after she penned a nastygram calling songstress Whitney Houston and actress Sharon Stone- “mediocre.”
“It’s so unequivocally frustrating to read that Whitney Houston has the music career I wish I had and Sharon Stone has the film career I’ll never have,” Madonna wrote. “Not because I want to be these women because I’d rather die, but they’re so horribly mediocre, and they’re always being held up as paragons of virtue [or] some sort of measuring stick to humiliate me.”
Whitney Houston > Madonna. PERIOD.
Anyway. Some of the “Take A Bow” singer’s delusional fans called Lizzo “disrespectful.”
@lizzo stop smoking crazy!!!! If this is an inspirational tweet? OK… but facts are facts, Madonna is Queen of POP… So disrespectful to Madonna. #Madonna #queenofpop #Queenpic.twitter.com/yF98dFuN8k

Madonna is the top selling pop artist of all time.
Janet isn’t even in the top 20.
Ergo, Madonna is the Queen of Pop.Sorry, Lizzo. 🤷🏽♀️

Fortunately, some folks set the Madonna stans straight.
It’s sucks that people don’t know music,janet has her own fans base which is white and black facts…Madonna has mostly white folks I’m just keeping it real.most people would listen to janet before her..I can even name one Madonna song but like a virgin and that shit was trash 🤷🏽♂️

What people have to understand is that no one officially holds these titles and it is all a matter of opinion. I like your choices Lizzo and for me the King and Queen of pop are Michael and Janet Jackson. They are both real, talented musicians that no one can touch.

Although Madonna may be an icon to many, she doesn’t have the range to compete with Janet- Ms.Jackson if you’re nasty.
