People all spot the same awkward thing as Ricky Martin performs at Madonna's show

Ricky Martin is thought to have raised more than his heart rate during an enthusiastic appearance at a recent Madonna gig, and fans can't help but call attention to it.

The 'Livin' la Vida Loca' singer appeared on stage with Madonna in Miami, Florida as she continues her Celebration tour, which is set to run until later this month.

Madonna was performing her hit song 'Vogue' when she invited Martin out on to the stage, where they took seats next to each other and held up score cards as Madonna's dancers put on a catwalk-like performance in front of them.

In footage shared by Martin himself, the two singers can be seen rating the dancers a 10/10, with Martin using the scorecard at one point to fan himself.

A few moments later, one of the dancers ripped off his tearaway pants and strutted up to Martin to grind on his body.

The dancer dropped to his knees and continued to move his head around Martin's crotch while another dancer joined in behind him, prompting Martin to turn his head to the crowd to show his apparent enjoyment.

The crowd cheered as the performance went on, but as the dancers stepped away fans couldn't help but notice that Martin's pants appeared to feature a bulge that hadn't been there previously.

"Wait a minute Ricky Martin is that a...." one person wrote on X, while another was a little less subtle as they commented: "Not Ricky Martin posting pole on main!!!"

Fans are desperate for Martin to explain whether the video showed him getting aroused by the dancers, with one X user responding to his post to say: "Address the elephant in your pants…I mean…room."

Martin hasn't spoken out about the alleged incident at the time of writing (9 April), but he didn't seem to be embarrassed by the footage as he happily shared it to his own social media page.

Alongside the video, he tagged Madonna and wrote: "Thank you @Madonna my love! Always fun to be invited to the party! You all, CAN’T MISS THIS SHOW!"

Whether the footage really does show what it appears to or it's simply a wardrobe malfunction, a lot of people have praised Martin for owning whatever was going on on stage.

"Omg what did I just watch, Ricky Martin living his best life and I am totally here for it, yes honey," one comment reads.

UNILAD has reached out to representatives for Martin for comment.
