The two bonded over dinner after Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards. At that event, Janet performed “Scream,” a track originally recorded with her sibling, and Madonna made a tearful speech about her regret at “abandoning” the pop icon before his death.
“It was a meeting of two great musical minds. Madonna was so impressed with Janet’s tribute to Michael that they started talking about how great it would be to honor him by doing something together,” a source said. “With that one performance Janet proved she’s back on top of her game. And who better to join forces with than Madonna? There was definitely something very interesting being planned between them.”
