They continued: 'Whitney Houston's hologram tour was panned by critics and Madonna refuses to let money-hungry bosses do the same to her.
'She has spent her whole life calling the shots and maintaining cultural relevance — and there is no chance she's letting all her hard work be tarnished.'
Whitney's 2020 tour was slammed as exploitative' and a 'soulless money grab' - eight years after the singer's death.
It is also believed in a bid to avoid family squabbles over her eye-popping $850M fortune she plans on sharing the rights to her songs equally between her six children.
Madonna is mother to Lourdes, 26, Rocco, 22, David, 17, Mercy James, 16, and twins Estere and Stelle, 10.
It comes after Madonna was spotted back on her feet on Sunday in New York City just 11 days after her deadly hospital dash.
The 64- pop superstar was seen taking a stroll with a friend in her Upper East Side neighborhood, according to an article by PageSix.

Madonna wore large sunglasses, wide-brimmed hat and Nike sneakers and sources said she appeared happy while chatting with a pal.
The Material Girl had her hair in braided ponytails and accentuated her natural beauty with red lipstick.
Madonna was given an injection of the drug Narcan - commonly used to reverse suspected drug overdoses - to combat acute septic shock before she was rushed on June 28 to hospital, reported Radar Online.
The singer has been mostly bedridden as she remains 'weak and very tired' following the ordeal.
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition caused when the body releases chemicals to fight an infection.
These chemicals damage the body's own tissues and organs and can lead to shock, organ failure and death.
Organ failure and death are more likely if sepsis is not recognized early and treated immediately.

DailyMail.com has contacted representatives for the star for comment.
The Vogue singer's health crisis came ahead of her postponement of The Celebration Tour, an 84-date trek which was slated to kick off July 15 in Vancouver at the Rogers Arena.
Last week, Madonna's manager Guy Oseary said that 'at this time we will need to pause all commitments, which includes the tour.'
Madonna had dealt with a fever for a month, insiders told the outlet, but kept things under wraps in hopes of keeping her tour intact.
The singer was not planning on jeopardizing her recovery to keep the show going, sources told Wednesday.
'Although Madonna is looking forward to getting back to work as soon as possible,' sources said, 'she's also taking her recovery seriously and isn't going to rush anything because she is focused on her health above all else.'
The insider said the singer 'has an incredible support system around her and appreciates all the love she's received' since she was taken to a hospital June 24.
They added: 'It's a work in progress but she's feeling confident and better every day.'
DailyMail.com has reached out to reps for the musical artist for comment on the topic.
