In a series of posts on Instagram, Madonna has replied to yesterday's leak of her new album, which seems to be titled Iconic.

Madonna has seen photos, demos and more leaked in recent weeks, but the album leaking yesterday is the biggest. She has claimed that they are a set of old rough copies never meant for the public eye.

In an Instagram post (since deleted), Madonna said:

"This is artistic rape!! 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?"

This anger belies her first response, which is still available to view via her account.

Thank you for not listening! 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
