Madonna reportedly disappointed as 'Michael' dominates box office
The singer is reportedly unhappy as Michael Jackson's blockbuster biopic continues its record-breaking run at the global box office
Madonna is reportedly frustrated by the blockbuster success of the Michael Jackson biopic, with a new report claiming the film's record-breaking box office run has revived the long-rumoured rivalry between the two music icons.
According to Radar Online, the singer has struggled to watch Michael, starring Jaafar Jackson, become one of Hollywood's biggest hits while her own long-planned biopic continues to face delays.
The report cites unnamed sources who claim Madonna has always viewed Jackson as the artist she measured herself against throughout her career.
One insider alleged that seeing Hollywood celebrate the King of Pop's legacy while her own project remains stalled has been difficult for the Queen of Pop.
Madonna has spent years developing a film based on her life, taking an active role in writing and shaping the project, but the production has experienced multiple rewrites and setbacks.
Neither Madonna nor her representatives have publicly commented on the claims.
The reported reaction comes as Michael continues its strong theatrical run, cementing its status as one of the year's biggest box office successes and drawing renewed attention to the enduring legacies of both global music superstars.
