The Black Madonna "furious" over learning Amazon is presenting Intersect Festival

UPDATE: Amazon Web Services “released” The Black Madonna from her “contractual obligation” to Intersect

Amazon Web Services-presented Las Vegas music festival Intersect just added artists to the lineup of its inaugural edition, which happens in December. One of those artists is musician, producer and DJ The Black Madonna, who joins Kacey Musgraves, Beck, Foo Fighters, Anderson .Paak and The Free Nationals, and others. However, as Pitchfork points out, The Black Madonna took to social media to say she wasn’t aware that Amazon was involved in presenting the festival, and she’s “furious.” “What the fuck is this Amazon shit?,” she writes. “I absolutely didn’t agree to this. Oh hell no.” She continues that their name was “on NONE of the offers or paperwork.”

“If you were shocked I’d play for Amazon, well that makes two of us,” she concludes. “Please be patient and while I burn some bridges. Updates soon.”
