Pop princess Madonna will be joined by Diplo on some tour dates of her Rebel Heart tour 2015. Moreover, Diplo had shared his thoughts on Madonna's influence in the music indursty. Madonna and Diplo are co-producers of the former's 'Rebel Heart' album. On the other hand, Madonna compared herself to one of the greatest painter in the world, Pablo Picasso.

"She created the world we live in. It already sucks to be a woman in the music industry, but to be a boss woman is even harder. She sold out her tour in minutes, but no one seems to want her to succeed -- 'Madonna, we've been there, done that, now we're about Kim Kardashian,'" rapper/songwriter Diplo said during a Rolling Stone interview via a Billboard report.

Diplo was so amazed with Madonna's craft, even said "She created the world we live in. It already sucks to be a woman in the music industry, but to be a boss woman is even harder."

Madonna has co-produced her album 'Rebel Heart' with Diplo, real name Thomas Wesley Pentz. Diplo will open for Madonna on some dates in the 'Rebel Heart' tour which will start in September, with Montreal as the first stop.

Meanwhile, Madonna compared herself to Pablo Picasso, one of the world's greatest artists. The 56-year old pop singer said "I like to compare myself to other kinds of artists like Picasso. He kept painting and painting until the day he died. Why? Because I guess he felt inspired to do so." Madonna also added that "Life inspired him, so he had to keep expressing himself, and that's how I feel."

Madonna stated before that if you've got nothing to say anymore, artists should stop doing their thing, according to Page Six. In her latest interview, she said that there is no expiration date for being creative, adding "I think you go until you don't have any more to say."
