“All I can say is thank you. Thank you wifey 
,” Morris captioned the post. “Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate with me last night. Thank you to those who worked behind the scenes to create such an unforgettable vibe. It meant so much to have the people I love and respect all in one room. It was a special night, and the energy in the room was nothing but love. Blessings to @ygmarley for the performance

Two months later, Morris shared a photo of Madonna sitting on his lap via an Instagram carousel, captioning the November 2024 post, “1BURNER
