Madonna’s bitter Instagram tirade
MADONNA has taken to social media to post an angry tirade against “a world that discriminates against women” after tracks from her forthcoming album nosedived in sales on iTunes.
The singer has been having a bad time recently after 13 unfinished tracks and 14 completed tracks that she had been working on for her new album Rebel Heart were leaked online.
The misery continued when she later released six tracks from her first album in three years, including a duet with Nicki Minaj. The tracks initially shot to the top of iTunes but after a week suffered a dramatic dip in sales.
The 56-year-old posted a glamorous photo of herself with a plug in her mouth alongside an invective against her critics.
She ranted: “Their are those who want to shut me up but they cannot!(sic) We still live in a world that discriminates against women.
“Their are People that are so hateful. they want to create feuds between strong women that do not exist! I do not wish ill will towards any other female artist and i never have!
“The World is big enough for all of us! I will fight for my rights as an artist, a human and a woman till the end of my days!”
The star posted three more pictures, one of her in a revealing bra top, one of her dragging a tote across the floor and another with Minaj.
In the same tirade Madonna, whose career has flagged in recent years due to poor album sales and a lack of interest among younger listeners, said she would “not apologize. Or defend my unpublished, unfinished, STOLEN work.(sic)”
