Ariana Grande's speech in "God is a Woman" is recited by a legendary music icon

Now, you've probably heard the song, seen the video, and obsessed with the words ad nauseam. Here is a fun fact that you may not have understood: The speech of the video "God Is A Woman" of Ariana Grande, that the singer dropped on July 13, is recited by Madonna – Yes, Madonna . And if its original context of pop culture is an indication, as emphasized Vulture Grande's opposition should be shaken right away. It's a moment, all of you. A great thing.

The first thing is the first: here is a small glimpse of this doubly famous spoken interlude. The passage Madonna quotes (as said by Great around the mark 2:23) – Ezekiel 25:17 – is from the Bible. Before starting to go to church, however, know that it was used in another iconic moment of pop culture in 1994.

So, there is an infamous scene in Pulp Fiction ] Quentin Tarantino (19459004) can look here, but it's certainly NSFW) where Samuel L. Jackson (who played Jules Winnfield) and John Travolta (Vincent Vega) visit guys who raised a suitcase belonging to their boss. This is … violent.

Before one of the robbers knows an untimely end, Jackson asks him if he reads the Bible. When the thief says, "Yes," Jackson tells him, "Well, there's that passage I've memorized." This passage is Ezekiel 25:17 – AKA, the same passage that Madonna recites in the video of "God is a Woman" of Great – and after Jackson gives his impromptu sermon, well … let's just say that it would end up being the last thing the thief heard.

Jackson takes a bit of poetic license with his recitation, but the passage reads,

"And I'm going to hit on you with great revenge and furious anger those who are trying to do it." poison and destroy my brethren, and you will know that my name is the Lord when I will cast my vengeance upon you. "

Madonna's speech version underlies" brothers "for" sisters "and is followed by a moment when Grande throws a giant mallet in the air, and literally and figuratively, it crosses the glass ceiling.They did not come to play.

Great hinted a clue on Madonna's involvement on her new album in a then-mysterious tweet on July 11. The 25-year-old pop star shared a picture of her "I know why."

At the time, Grande's tweet was sending fans in a frenzy. "[Plot] twist, Madonna helped you write that god is a woman!", a speculator speculated . "[Maybe] Madonna helped w sing [on “God Is A Woman”] or idk omg maybe she sampled a Madonna song?" Another fan made an assumption . "Legends supporting legends omg," a third fan, clearly shaken, commented .

In retrospect, however, a fan (@dangerousblazed) was quite close to by hitting the nail squarely on the head. . "IT IS IT IN THE GIAW MUSIC VIDEO," he asked. "PLS SPILL THE THE", and "A LEGENDARY DUO OF POWERFUL FEMALE WBK", he commented on two other tweets . Alas, Grande did not, in fact, spilled the tea that day, but now we know that the tea was hot – even burning – and that it was really worth the wait.

Bringing Madonna into the mix for "God Is A Woman" was a huge move, and definitely qualifies as the female equivalent of BDE. The song is sexy, empowering, and should probably be a little more terrifying for anyone at the end of Madonna's wrathful speech. God is a woman, and she has an ax (er, a mallet) to grind. Bow down.
