Madonna has spoken out against the leak of demos from her anticipated new album, describing the act as 'artistic rape' and 'an act of terrorism'.
Yesterday, a version of the singer's entire album, which is said to be called Iconic, appeared online - a total of 13 tracks. This includes a Nicki Minaj collaboration, 'Unapologetic Bitch', and two Avicii tracks. She revealed that they were 'unfinished demos stolen long ago' and sketches of what the album would become, but they've still spread like wildfire across the web.
She's since taken to Instagram to voice her hurt and frustration at the situation.
"This is artistic rape!" she wrote. "These are early leaked demo's half of which wont 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 post has since been deleted.
The final version of the album is due for release next year.
The tracklisting for the leaked version is:
'Unapologetic Bitch'
'Bitch I'm Madonna'
'Addicted (The One That Got Away)'
'Borrowed Time'
'Heartbreak City'
'Illuminati'
'Joan Of Arc'
'Living 4 Love (Carry On)'
'Make The Devil Pray'
'Messiah'
'Rebel Heart'
'Revolution'
'Wash All Over Me'
