In 1989, Madonna starred in a Pepsi commercial that never saw the light of day – until now. The star shared the commercial on Instagram, saying that 34 years after it was canceled, Pepsi was finally revealing the spot.
Madonna said that before the commercial could premiere, her “Like a Prayer” music video came out – and proved controversial. “The commercial was immediately canceled when I refused to change any scenes in the video where I was kissing a black saint or burning crosses,” she wrote on Instagram.
“So began my illustrious career as an artist refusing to compromise my artistic integrity.” “Thank you [Pepsi] for finally realizing the genius of our collaboration,” she wrote. “Artists are here to disturb the peace.”
