Madonna Promises A Nipple-Free Superbowl

in News

Madonna has promised to avoid any kind of “wardrobe malfunction” at this year’s Superbowl performance.

Speaking on The Tonight Show, the singer told Jay Leno about the rules she has to follow in order to perform.

“Well, for sure no nipples, but I wasn’t gonna go there. I mean, I don’t like to repeat myself, or do what other people have done before me,” she said in reference to Janet Jackson’s “nipplegate” performance in 2004.

Madonna will provide the halftime entertainment at the Superbowl this weekend on February 5. She is expected to be joined by M.I.A. and Nicki Minaj who both feature on her single Give Me All Your Luvin’ which will be released this week.

Madonna’s twelfth album MDNA is due to be released at the end of March. It will be her first album in four years.
