The Queen of Pop has revealed that she gave a young Kim Kardashian several of her iconic rubber bracelets after she told her that she loved her music.

Speaking to 'Extra' about the encounter, Madonna explained that she met the reality television star years ago and was flattered after she told her how great her songs were so gifted her a few pieces of the jewellery she was wearing at the time:

"I met her years and years ago when she was a little girl, believe it or not. She told me she was a huge fan of mine, and it was during the time I was wearing all of the rubber bracelets on my arms."

"I took off all of the bracelets and gave them to her, and then I completely forgot about it. She reminded me when I saw her the other night. Now she's a pregnant lady!"

She also opened up about being a working mother to her four children, adding that finding a balance is the most important thing: "I try to find the right balance between being there for them and guiding them, and also being an artist. I'm trying to find enough time in the day to do those jobs well."

"I try to be very clear with them. This is my persona for work. What we aspire to do is to work and to be good people. If you don't have those two things, fame is nothing, so I try to drill that into their heads."
