Rodman was asked why they got along so well. He said,” Well, her career was going down, that’s the truthful thing right there because no really gave anything about Madonna at that time. She needed something to boost her career back up, like a bad boy.” 

“She loved bad boys, so basically I was the bad boy of the NBA, so basically came to San Antonio and chased me down,” Rodman said.

Rodman said he didn’t want to put her down, but he knew that this was the case. He said that he even told her that her music was trash and he can’t listen to it. But he said she was attracted to him because of who he was. And he revealed that he and Madonna are cool now.

The Chicago Bulls legend and Madonna were on and off for a couple of years before they ended it for good. After that, Rodman would go on to date a few other celebrities as well.
