Video: Drake Looks Horrified After Madonna Kisses Him At Coachella

Drake got a surprise make-out session with Madonna on stage at Coachella on Sunday—and he looked pretty grossed out afterward as he bent over, covered his mouth and grimaced.
Madonna's still got it. The 28-year-old "If You're Reading This It's Too Late" rapper brought the 56-year-old pop diva on stage as a surprise guest for his track "Madonna," according to E! Online. As he sat on a chair, Madonna came out and laid a big one on him. It was a confusing moment as he tried to touch her hair and she moved his hand away as they kissed for what felt like an eternity. But then he threw a baseball cap on the ground and pretty much look horrified after they stopped locking lips. He yelled out to the crowd, "Oh, shit! What the fuck just happened?"
In what could only make things more amazing, she yelled out "I'm Madonna, bitch!" before walking way.
Drake should've seen it coming that Madonna would give him a big sloppy kiss on stage. After all, she seems to have a penchant for kissing other performers on stage like Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and Miley Cyrus. And she did tell US Weekly in an interview last month: "The lifelong ambition I still want to fulfill is to go on a dream date with Drake—and only kiss him."Madonna seemed proud of the whole thing and even tweeted this:

Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
