The musician also kissed Ariana Grande and teased ex-husband Sean Penn, who crawled through her legs at one point as the two tried to coerce the audience to bid higher.
Madonna repeatedly criticized President-elect Donald Trump, said she was “ashamed to be an American,” flirted with ex-husband Sean Penn and kissed Ariana Grande at a star-studded benefit in Miami Friday night that raised more than $7.5 million for her Raising Malawi charity that she founded to help children in the African nation. The sold-out $5,000-a-head event was the hottest ticket of Art Basel in Miami Beach.
The focus of the evening’s festivities, which promised “An Evening of Art, Mischief and Music,” was a marathon auction where Madonna sold off several of her possessions to benefit Raising Malawi. The African country is close to the pop icon’s heart because that’s where her adopted son, David Banda, is from.
During the auction and concert, Madonna made a number of provocative comments. The staunch Hillary Clinton supporter, who had promised to perform sexual favors for those who voted for the Democratic presidential nominee, revealed she’d “slept in Donald Trump’s bed.”
“Now don’t go jumping to conclusions because he wasn’t in that bed. He wasn’t anywhere near that bed. He wasn’t even in the room. I was just doing a photo shoot in Palm Beach for the Versace campaign in his house,” she said, before criticizing the president-elect’s sheets. “I just want to mention that his sheets were not 100 percent Egyptian cotton. Yes. Cheap slumlord. Here’s what I’m wondering: Do you think he’s going to have nice sheets in the White House? Here’s one thing I’m sure of. They won’t be Egyptian cotton because we all know how he feels about Muslims, don’t we?”
