It was a horrific week with the deadly hostage crisis in Sydney and the devastating Taliban school massacre in Pakistan.
So it seemed particularly insensitive when Madonna likened the leak of her upcoming album to a 'form of terrorism.'
Angered
fans took to Twitter to lash out at the Material Girl who also referred
to the theft of her 'unfinished demos' as 'artistic rape.'
Livid: After her new album leaked online, Madonna lashed out calling the incident 'artistic rape'
'How
appropriate do you think it is to refer to the theft of your music as
"terrorism" days after 132 children are massacred!?,' wrote @Merr1ngton.
A
fan who goes by @TrannaWintour added: 'Madonna has called the theft of
her demos a form of "rape" and "terrorism." Her hysteria and ignorance
know no bounds.'
@DustinAndrew
chimed in saying: 'Ooook I have a prblm w/ @Madonna claiming the leaks
are a form of 'TERRORISM' Really? There are ppl dying. Get a clue.'
The
criticism comes on the heels of the Queen of Pop's overly dramatic
comparisons on social media after an early version of her 13th studio
album surfaced on the Internet on Wednesday.
Lashing out: Many fans found the singer's comparisons inappropriate
Say what: It seemed particularly insensitive when Madonna likened the leak of her upcoming album to a 'form of terrorism'
Going too far: Angered fans took to
Twitter to lash out at the Material Girl who also referred to the theft
of her 'unfinished demos' as 'artistic rape'
'This is artistic rape!!,' Madonna cried out in an Instagram post that has since been taken down.
'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?'
Desperately Seeking Culprits: The 56-year-old was none too pleased and denounced the theft of her 'unfinished demos'
Earlier
in the day, Madonna took a gentler approach by reaching out to her
legions of fans in a more appreciative manner in the aftermath of the
album leak.
''Thank you for not listening! Thank you for your loyalty!,' the Vogue hitmaker said.
'Thank
you for waiting and if you have heard please know they are unfinished
demos stolen long ago and not ready to be presented to the world.'
A total of 11 songs surfaced, including tracks Bitch I'm Madonna, Joan Of Arc, Illuminati and Messiah.
Not happy: 'Thank you for not listening! Thank you for your loyalty!,' the Queen of Pop said to her 2.6m Instagram followers
While
Madonna had yet to announce an official title and release date, the
album is allegedly called Unapologetic Bitch - which is one of her
favourite hashtags - or Iconic.
The
Hung Up singer has been working with a treasure trove of the hottest
producers and songwriters including Diplo, Avicii, Natalia Kills and
Simon Cowell's favourite hitmaker Ryan Tedder.
The full album leak comes just weeks after the two tracks Rebel Heart and Wash All Over Me hit the Internet.
At
that time Madge's manager Guy Oseary took to Twitter in an attempt to
find the culprits by writing: 'I would be grateful to any @madonna fans
that can assist us in finding those responsible for the leak.. We
appreciate your help..'
Who did it: Her manager Guy Oseary took to Twitter to try and find who leaked two tracks last month
What's in a name: While the Material
Girl had yet to release an official title and release date, the album is
allegedly called Unapologetic Bitch - which is one of her favourite
hashtags - or Iconic
On Tuesday, the Taliban attacked a school in the Pakistani city of Peshawar killing over 132 children and nine staff members.
It was the country's deadliest terror attack ever.
This
horrific incident followed just two days after a lone gunmen held
patrons of a local Sydney cafe hostage for nearly 16 hours, leading to a
standoff with police.
In the end, two hostages and the suspect were killed after authorities stormed the restaurant.
Express Yourself: In support of the upcoming album, Madonna is said to be plotting another world tour in 2015
