With special guest Bob the Drag, the tour will showcase her unrivaled body of work from the past 40+ years and provide a one-of-a-kind experience. Amidst this, a recent video clip of Madonna dancing went viral on TikTok. This has somehow come back to NBA legend Charles Barkley and the rumor he once had an affair with the pop star. One fan poked fun at this and a former MLB star responded.

The rumor has it that Barkley had an affair with Madonna during his time in the NBA. This was a major gossip at the time. Also, notably, the Queen of Pop had a short “fling” with another NBA legend Dennis Rodman.

Lenny Dykstra gives Charles Barkley “a pass”

A fan on Twitter trolled Madonna after her dance went viral on TikTok with the caption, “If you have bought tickets to Madonna’s up coming concert, get your money back😂😂😂”. This caught the attention of former MLB star Lenny Dykstra who shared the video clip. One fan wondered, “What was Charles Barkley thinking”, referring to the age-old rumor that Barkley and Madonna were once together. Dykstra replied to the comment saying that the 1993 NBA MVP “gets a pass” because it was Barkley’s era of the Phoenix Suns at the time.

Apparently, the rumor has still not died down with fans still recounting it. Interestingly, Madonna’s comments at the time could be a major reason the story is still going around.

She replied, “Charles Barkley is God. Denzel Washington is married, and you know what? I think Charles is probably married. See, all the good ones are taken…but that doesn’t mean they can’t father your children!”
