Who dated Madonna (entertainer)?

Madonna Louise Ciccone ( chih-KOH-nee; born August 16, 1958) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, and actress. Commonly referred to as the "Queen of Pop", she is known for her continual reinvention and versatility in music production, songwriting and visual presentation. Madonna's works, which incorporate social, political, sexual, and religious themes, have generated both controversy and critical acclaim. A cultural icon spanning both the 20th and 21st centuries, she has become the subject of various scholarly, literary and artistic works, as well as a mini academic sub-discipline called Madonna studies.

Madonna moved to New York City in 1978 to pursue a career in dance. After performing as a drummer, guitarist, and vocalist in the rock bands Breakfast Club and Emmy, she rose to solo stardom with her 1983 eponymous debut album. Madonna has earned a total of 18 multi-platinum albums, including Like a Virgin (1984), True Blue (1986), and The Immaculate Collection (1990)—which became some of the best-selling albums in history—as well as Confessions on a Dance Floor (2005), her 21st-century bestseller. Her albums Like a Prayer (1989), Ray of Light (1998), and Music (2000) were ranked among Rolling Stone's greatest albums of all time. Madonna's catalog of top-charting songs includes "Like a Virgin", "Material Girl", "La Isla Bonita", "Like a Prayer", "Vogue", "Take a Bow", "Frozen", "Music", "Hung Up" and "4 Minutes".

Madonna's popularity was enhanced by roles in films such as Desperately Seeking Susan (1985), Dick Tracy (1990), A League of Their Own (1992) and Evita (1996). While she won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress for the lattermost, many of her other films were not well received. As a businesswoman, Madonna founded the company Maverick in 1992, which included Maverick Records, one of the most successful artist-run labels in history. Her other ventures include fashion brands, written works, health clubs and filmmaking. She contributes to various charities, having founded the Ray of Light Foundation in 1998 and Raising Malawi in 2006, and advocates for gender equality and LGBT rights.

Madonna is the best-selling female recording artist of all time and the first female performer to accumulate US$1 billion from her concerts. She is the most successful solo artist in the history of the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and has achieved 44 number-one singles in between major global music markets. Her accolades include seven Grammy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, 20 MTV Video Music Awards, 17 Japan Gold Disc Awards, and an induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in her first year of eligibility. On Forbes annual rankings, Madonna became the world's highest-paid female musician a record 11 times across four decades (1980s–2010s). Billboard named her the Artist of the Decade (1980s), the Greatest Dance Artist of All Time, and the Greatest Music Video Artist of All Time. She was also listed among Rolling Stone's greatest artists and greatest songwriters ever.

Kravitz has sold over 40 million albums worldwide and was ranked 93 on VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock".

Jean-Michel Basquiat (French pronunciation: [ʒɑ̃ miʃɛl baskja]; December 22, 1960 – August 12, 1988) was an American artist who rose to success during the 1980s as part of the neo-expressionism movement.

Basquiat first achieved notoriety in the late 1970s as part of the graffiti duo SAMO, alongside Al Diaz, writing enigmatic epigrams all over Manhattan, particularly in the cultural hotbed of the Lower East Side where disco, punk, and street art coalesced into early hip-hop culture. By the early 1980s, his paintings were being exhibited in galleries and museums internationally. At 21, Basquiat became the youngest artist to ever take part in Documenta in Kassel, Germany. At 22, he became one of the youngest to exhibit at the Whitney Biennial in New York. The Whitney Museum of American Art held a retrospective of his artwork in 1992.

Basquiat's art focused on dichotomies such as wealth versus poverty, integration versus segregation, and inner versus outer experience. He appropriated poetry, drawing, and painting, and married text and image, abstraction, figuration, and historical information mixed with contemporary critique. He used social commentary in his paintings as a tool for introspection and for identifying with his experiences in the black community, as well as attacks on power structures and systems of racism.

Basquiat died at the age of 27 in 1988 of a heroin overdose. Since then, his work has steadily increased in value. In 2017, Untitled, a 1982 painting depicting a black skull with red-and-yellow rivulets, sold for a record-breaking $110.5 million, becoming one of the most expensive paintings ever purchased.

In December 2016, Billboard magazine ranked him as the 99th most successful dance artist of all-time.

Vanilla Ice, né Robert Matthew Van Winkle à Dallas au Texas, le 31 octobre 1967, est un rappeur, acteur et animateur de télévision américain. Vanilla Ice publie son premier album, Hooked, en 1989 sur le label Ichiban Records, avant de signer un contrat avec SBK Records, un label dirigé par EMI Group qui publiera une version rééditée sous le titre de To the Extreme. Son single Ice Ice Baby, publié en 1990, est le premier single de hip-hop à atteindre les classements du Billboard.

Bien que populaire, Vanilla Ice regrette rapidement sa décision prise avec SBK, qui le rémunère afin d'adopter une approche plus commerciale et grand public et qui publie des informations biographiques fictives sans son consentement. Après une tentative échouée de suicide, Vanilla Ice décide de changer de style musical et de mode de vie. Les albums qui suivent, moins commerciaux, n'atteignent pas les classements ou sont rarement joués à la radio, mais Vanilla Ice parvient à garder un public fidèle. En 2009, Vanilla Ice anime The Vanilla Ice Project sur la chaîne DIY Network. Son dernier album WTF – Wisdom, Tenacity & Focus est publié en août 2011. Vanilla Ice est désormais en contrat avec le label Psychopathic Records.

Dennis Keith Rodman (born May 13, 1961) is an American former professional basketball player. Renowned for his defensive and rebounding abilities, his biography on the official NBA website states that he is "arguably the best rebounding forward in NBA history". Nicknamed "the Worm", he played for the Detroit Pistons, San Antonio Spurs, Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles Lakers, and Dallas Mavericks of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Rodman played at the small forward position in his early years before becoming a power forward.

He earned NBA All-Defensive First Team honors seven times and won the NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award twice. He also led the NBA in rebounds per game for a record seven consecutive years and won five NBA championships.

In October 2021, Rodman was honored as one of the league's greatest players of all-time by being named to the NBA 75th Anniversary Team.

Rodman experienced an unhappy childhood and was often described as shy and introverted in his early years. After attempting to take his own life in 1993, he reinvented himself as a "bad boy" and became notorious for numerous controversial antics. He repeatedly dyed his hair in artificial colors, had many piercings and tattoos, and regularly disrupted games by clashing with opposing players and officials. He famously wore a wedding dress to promote his 1996 autobiography Bad as I Wanna Be. Rodman also attracted international attention for his visits to North Korea and his subsequent befriending of the North Korean supreme leader Kim Jong Un in 2013.

Tupac Amaru Shakur (Harlem del Este, 16 de junio de 1971-Las Vegas, 13 de septiembre de 1996), conocido como 2Pac o Makaveli, fue un rapero y actor estadounidense.​​ Es considerado por muchos como uno de los raperos más importantes de todos los tiempos, y más influyentes de la historia del rap.​​ Gran parte de la obra de Shakur se ha destacado por abordar los problemas sociales que plagaban los centros urbanos, por lo cual también es considerado un símbolo de resistencia y activismo contra la desigualdad.​​

Nació en el distrito de Manhattan de la ciudad de Nueva York, pero en 1988 se trasladó al área de la Bahía de San Francisco. Más tarde, hacia 1993, se trasladó a Los Ángeles para continuar con su carrera musical. Inicialmente, Shakur estuvo de gira y fue bailarín de apoyo del grupo del hip-hop alternativo Digital Underground.​​ En 1991, tras lanzar su primer álbum 2Pacalypse Now, se convirtió en una figura central del West Coast hip hop, introduciendo temas sociales en el género en un momento en que el gangsta rap era la corriente dominante.​​ Shakur alcanzó un mayor éxito comercial y de crítica con sus siguientes álbumes: Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z.. (1993) y su aclamado por la crítica Me Against the World (1995), que ha sido considerado como su obra maestra.​

A finales de 1995, después de ser condenado por abuso sexual y ser víctima de un robo y tiroteo, Shakur se involucró fuertemente en la creciente rivalidad entre el hip hop de la costa este y oeste.​ Su álbum doble All Eyez on Me (1996) fue certificado como disco de Diamante por la Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).​ El 7 de septiembre de 1996, Shakur recibió cuatro disparos de un asaltante desconocido en un drive-by en Las Vegas; murió seis días después y el tirador nunca fue capturado. The Notorious B.I.G., amigo de Shakur y más tarde, su mayor rival, fue considerado sospechoso al principio, pero también fue asesinado en otro drive-by varios meses después.​​ Desde su muerte han sido lanzados cinco álbumes póstumos, todos ellos certificados como disco de platino.​

Shakur es uno de los artistas musicales con mayores ventas de todos los tiempos, habiendo vendido más de 75 millones de discos en todo el mundo.​​​ En 2002 fue incluido en el Salón de la Fama del Hip-Hop.​ En 2017 fue incluido en el Salón de la Fama del Rock and Roll durante su primer año de elegibilidad.​ Además, la revista Rolling Stone incluyó a Shakur en su lista de los 100 mejores artistas de todos los tiempos, ocupando el puesto 86.​

Fuera de la música, Shakur tuvo un éxito considerable como actor, con sus papeles estelares como Bishop en Juice (1992), Lucky en Poetic Justice (1993), donde actuó junto a Janet Jackson, Ezekiel en Gridlock'd (1997), y Jake en Gang Related (1997); obteniendo en todas ellas elogios de la crítica.​​
