Singer Madonna recently opened up about her fight against ageism in the music industry and stated that she is being punished for turning 60.
In a recent interview, Madonna, who has sold more than 300 million records worldwide in a nearly four-decade career, detailed her fight against ageism. "People have always been trying to silence me for one reason or another, whether it's that 'I'm not pretty enough', 'I don't sing well enough', 'I'm not talented enough', 'I'm not married enough', and now it's that 'I'm not young enough'," said Madonna.

"Now I'm fighting ageism, now I'm being punished for turning 60," added the songstress, who turned 60 in August last year. She went onto speak candidly about her relationships with her children Lourdes (22), Rocco (18), David and Mercy (both 13) and Esther and Stella (both six).
Madonna said that she regretted giving her children phones. "I'm going to stick that one out for as long as possible because I made a mistake when I gave me older phones when they were 13. It ended my relationship with them, really. Not completely, but it became a very very big part of their lives. They started to compare themselves with other people, and that's really bad for self-growth," she said.
