Direct Beef
Elton John vs. Madonna
Music · Resolved · Beef Score 75 · Started November 2002
A long-running public feud between Elton John and Madonna began in November 2002 when John publicly criticized Madonna's James Bond theme song 'Die Another Day'. Over the next two decades, John repeatedly criticized Madonna's live performances and lip-syncing, while her team defended her artistry. In April 2025, Madonna confronted John backstage at Saturday Night Live, where John apologized and both artists announced that they had buried the hatchet.
