Madonna canceled her Miami show Sunday night just before her ex husband Guy Ritchie filed in divorce court.
Fans were outraged Sunday as the Queen of Pop canceled her Madame X tour performance just two hours before showtime.
The next day DailyMail.com revealed that Guy Ritchie filed a motion in their divorce case asking for ‘the enforcement or execution of a judgment or order’ in Manhattan Supreme Court.
The timing of the motion – which was filed on December 23 – suggests that there could be a disagreement over where some of Madonna’s six children should be spending Christmas.

Fans were shocked to learn via Ticketmaster that Sunday night’s Miami performance was canceled
The motion in the case was filed at the Manhattan Supreme Court in Madonna, 61, and Ritchie’s divorce case.
The matter was settled in 2008 but any disputes over their children are dealt with there.
The night before the filing, Madonna angered fans by canceling her Miami performance of the MadameX tour just two hours before showtime.
Enraged fans took to Twitter disappointed in the cancellation and looking for answers.
Many were angry that Madonna canceled without a statement, while others explained they had flown hours to see her perform.
One fan posted a photo of himself giving two middle fingers to a promotional poster outside the Fillmore where she was set to perform.
Others claim a ‘furious’ Madonna threw a tantrum during warm ups, fired two employees and then canceled the show.
‘She threw a fit rehearsals and was upset for low ticket sales and the venues unprofessionalism and said she’s out,’ one Facebook user said.
The 61-year-old’s team has yet to give a reason for the cancellation nor have they confirmed or denied the reports of an alleged tantrum.

Madonna – who was recently pictured with new toyboy Ahlamalik Williams in Miami – and Ritchie have a son Rocco, 19, together over whom they waged a bitter and public custody battle over in courts in London and New York.
That ended in 2016 with Rocco being allowed to live in the UK with his father, a director whose films include Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.
During her eight year marriage to Ritchie Madonna adopted David Banda, 14, from Malawi. Their younger son has recently been spending time with Ritchie in London.
The court docket states that the defendant, in this case Ritchie, 50, has filed a motion asking for ‘enforcement or execution of a judgement or order’.
The matter has not been ruled on by Judge Deborah Kaplan, who is overseeing the case.
During the previous dispute over Rocco, Christmas was the cause of a flare up in 2015.
At that time Judge Kaplan ordered the boy, who was 15 at the time, to return to New York to be with his mother but Ritchie’s lawyers said he did not want to.

Ritchie and Madonna got married in 2000 in Skibo Castle in Scotland in a high profile ceremony attended by Gwyneth Paltrow, Donatella Versace and Stella McCartney.
Under the terms of their divorce he reportedly got around $92 million, which includes the Punchbowl pub in Mayfair, London that they owned and their estate in Wiltshire.
Madonna has occasionally spoken about their marriage and in an interview with Newsweek she said that the romance died.
She said: ‘When you start off, everything’s great and lovely, and the person you’ve married is flawless, and you’re flawless.
‘Then time goes by, and you share a life, you have children, and there are cracks in the veneer.’
In another interview she said that at times she ‘felt incarcerated’ by Ritchie.
She said: ‘If you’re an artist you’ve got to find someone who accepts who you are and are comfortable with that.’
Ritchie has been far more vocal and has said that whilst he does not regret his time with Madonna, the drama was too much and that their life became a ‘soap opera’.
Friends of his have also claimed that her strict diet, her Kabbalah religion and obsession with yoga made her hard to live with.
After divorcing Madonna Ritchie, 50, married his second wife Jacqui Ainsley in 2015, with whom he has three children.
In July they posed with David Banda at the premiere of the Lion King in London where the boy beamed a smile as he wore black tie.
Madonna has four other children, Lourdes, 23, Mercy James, 13, who was adopted from Malawi, as were twins Stelle and Estere, 7.

Madonna has recently moved to Portugal to be nearer David Banda and to help his career in soccer as he trains there with Benfica.
Her latest social media posts give no clue about the nature of the dispute.
She is currently on her Madame X world tour, though she is taking a break for Christmas.
Her latest post on Instagram was video of a group of women singing. She wrote: ‘Thank you so much to all the lovely Batukadeira’s!! You mean the World to me! And Of course I will Rise and hopefully see you all very soon!! #family #iiwillrise #madamextheatre
Among those commenting was futurelover1974 who wrote: ‘Hope you feel better soon. and we get to see your show in London but put yourself first and make a full recovery’
Madonna has recently been dating a new toyboy, Ahlamalik Williams, 26, a backup dancer who she was seen in Miami with her on the Florida leg of her tour.
His parents have reportedly given their consent to their relationship despite the 35-year age gap.
