Madonna is reportedly struggling to watch the success of the Michael Jackson biopic as her own long-awaited film project remains stuck in development.

According to Radar Online, the Queen of Pop is frustrated after Michael reportedly crossed the $900 million mark at the global box office, becoming one of Hollywood's biggest music biopics.

Sources quoted by the outlet claim the film's success has reignited Madonna's long-rumored competitive rivalry with the late King of Pop.

"Madonna is incredibly competitive, and Jackson was always the one artist she measured herself against," an insider reportedly said.

The singer has spent years developing a biographical film based on her own life, taking an active role in writing and shaping the project. However, the movie has faced multiple delays, rewrites, and production setbacks.

According to the report, Madonna is disappointed to see Hollywood celebrating Jackson's legacy while her own project has yet to move forward.

"She's watching Hollywood celebrate Michael, while her movie cannot get made," the source claimed.

Another insider added, "Madonna hates losing. With Michael crossing $900 million, she sees it as another win for him in a rivalry that never really died."

Madonna has not publicly commented on the report or the claims surrounding her reaction to the film's success.
