"Thank you for your loyalty! 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."  



Madonna, who has hasn't yet revealed the official title and release date for the album, followed up her initial Instagram post with a more controversial message. 

"This is artistic rape!!" the pop icon pointed out, adding: "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???" Madonna asked, wondering: "Why steal? Why not give me the opportunity to finish and give you my very best?"

Fans took to social media to attack Madonna for her post. "@Madonna how appropriate do you think it is to refer to the theft of your music as "terrorism" days after 132 children are massacred!?" one individual shared, referring to the Taliban's attack on a school in Pakistan. Another person tweeted: "You know what else is like rape, Madonna? Nothing. Nothing is like rape. Shut up." Another wrote: "How dare @madonna compare a leaked album to "rape or terrorism". Silly cow. It's theft and wrong but hardly the same."
