Madonna dropped a bombshell in a recent interview on the Howard Stern show, confirming what has been speculated for close to 20 years. Turns out the Grandmother of Pop dated Tupac in the mid-90s and credits the relationship with making her feel ‘very gangsta’ (omfg). Currently on the promo trail for the forthcoming release of Rebel Heart, Madonna told Stern she had assumed most people knew about the brief romance.

Check out the full interview above and if you’re just after the ‘I was feeling very gangsta at the time’ for sampling in your next Soundcloud mix, it’s around the 28:00 minute mark.
