Obviously, I grew up with extreme privilege. There’s no denying that,’ she explained to Interview magazine.’But I think my mom saw all these other kids of famous people, and she was like, “My kids are not going to be like this.”‘Also, I feel like if your parents pay for things, then it gives them leverage over you. My mom is such a control freak, and she has controlled me my whole life. I needed to be completely independent from her as soon as I graduated high school.’In a 2019 interview with Vogue, Madonna praised her ‘insanely talented’ eldest child but said that she lacked the same drive that had made her a household name.Since branching out on her own, Lourdes has found work as a model, a celebrity socialite and as an indie musician.
