Beyonce has never been shy about expressing her admiration for Queen of Pop Madonna over the years, and she’s reiterating the stance after the two joined forces for the “Queens Remix” of the chart-topping hit ‘Break My Soul.’
Ahead of reports the tune is set to maintain its grip atop the Billboard Hot 100 for a second week, Bey gave Madge flowers literally and figuratively in show of gratitude for letting the iconic hit ‘Vogue’ serve as an interpolation for the revamped version of ‘Soul.’
Read Bey’s sweet words to the Pop icon inside.
Just days before Madonna’s 64th birthday (August 16), she took to Instagram to reveal Beyonce had sent her a floral arrangement of white flowers as a “thank you” for the “Queens Remix” of ‘Break My Soul’ (as seen above).
Alongside the gift was a note from the ‘Renaissance’ diva.
“Thank you, Queen,” the note read. “I am so grateful for you. You have opened so many doors for so many women. You are a masterpiece genius. Thank you for allowing me to sing in your song and thank you for naming the remix. Love always and forever, B.”

As reported, the “Queens Remix” twists the Rap-sung portion of 1990’s ‘Vogue’ by toasting to the Black Queens of music history instead of Hollywood’s golden era.
“Rosetta Tharpe, Santigold / Bessie Smith, Nina Simone / Betty Davis, Solange Knowles / Badu, Lizzo, Kelly Rowl’ / Lauryn Hill, Roberta Flack / Toni, Janet, Tierra Whack / Missy, Diana, Grace Jones / Aretha, Anita, Grace Jones / Helen Folasade Adu, Jilly from Philly, I love you, boo / Don’t just stand there, get into it / Strike a pose, there’s nothing to it / Vogue!,” Beyoncé raps on the track.
Aaliyah, Whitney Houston, and Destiny’s Child alum Michelle Williams are just a few of the other names who also get shout-outs on the record.
