I’m sure most of you have seen the commercial by now, Madonna and Missy Elliot shilling for the Gap’s new campaign. Looks as if there was some controversy at the filming last month as Missy was less than courteous to her legendary co-star.
According to reports in New York Metro Magazine, Missy kept Madonna and the crew waiting for 45 minutes while she sat in her car talking on her cell. That was in addition to declining on Madonna’s offer to come and visit her LA home.
Since the reports of Missy’s actions circulated, she issued a statement to the magazine explaining her actions. Stating a personal crisis as the reason for her behavior, she added, “Madonna came to me and asked what was wrong, and I told her in a roundabout way. She called her spiritual adviser over the day of the shoot; he gave me, like, the red string, and he prayed for me. The rest of the shoot was fine…I would never disrespect her.”
