Aging musical legend Madonna irked many in and outside of her fan base by taking to social media to slam the leak of her upcoming album as a “form of terrorism” — against a backdrop of Taliban terrorist attack that killed more than 100 students in Pakistan.
The Material Girl wrote on Instagram of her leaked demo, the Daily Mail reported: “This is artistic rape! These are early leaked demo’s half of which won’t even make it on my album the other half have changed and evolved. This is a form of terrorism. Wtf!!!! Why do people want to destroy artistic process??? Why steal? Why not give me the opportunity to finish and give you my very best?”
The response to her post was swift.
“How appropriate do you think it is to refer to the theft of you music as ’terrorism’ days after 132 children are massacred!?” tweeted one, the Daily mail reported.
And another wrote: “Madonna has called the theft of her demos a form of ’rape’ and ’terrorism.’ Her hysteria and ignorance know no bounds.”
And one more: “Ooook I have a prblm w/ @Madonna claiming the leaks are a form or ’TERRORISM’ Really? There are ppl dying. Get a clue.”
Madonna’s post has since been taken down, the Daily Mail reported.
