Madonna Pepsi ad. Thirty-four years after Madonna’s $5 million Pepsi commercial was yanked from the air due to the controversy surrounding her provocative “Like a Prayer” music video, the iconic ad is finally back on MTV.

During the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards, which aired Tuesday, the cola company surprisingly resurrected the long-shelved commercial for the beverage’s 125th anniversary, and Madonna seemed pleased, posting on social media: “34 years ago I made a commercial with Pepsi to celebrate the release of my song ‘Like a Prayer.’
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. 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. Artists are here to disturb the peace.”
