As you can imagine, Madonna’s newest album, “Hard Candy” has leaked all over the internet.
But, unfortunately, Madonna’s people are threatening to sue us, and we don’t want any bad blood. We still think her new album is off the hook. And as always, we recommend you buy the album when it comes out on April 29th.
Here is the letter her peeps just sent us:
