Madonna Responds to Deadmau5: VIDEO
After being attacked yesterday by Deadmau5 for remarks she made about "Molly" (street for Ecstasy) at the weekend's Ultra Music Festival, Madonna responded during a Q&A session on Twitter last night with the post above.
Said Madonna: "From one mouse to another, I don't support drug use and I never have. I was referring to the song called "Have you seen Molly?" written by my friend Cedric Gervais who I almost worked with on my album."
Deadmau5 appeared to accept the explanation, tweeting: "fair enough, I was just voicing my concerns as I usually do. +1 respect for clearing it up personally."
NOTE: You decide what Gervais' "Molly" is about.
A teaser video for the forthcoming track, posted, AFTER THE JUMP...
Imma call BS on that, Madge.

I like Deadmou5's music but he's such a prick! He goes after anyone who has a negative opinion of him, tries to arrogantly explain himself, claims he's not a role model, then goes and bashes another artists for being a negative role model and hurting the "scene". Get off your high horse Joel. Everyone knows you're rolling your ass off at your shows.
And to tall the queens on this blog complaining about this post having nothing to do with gay culture, get over it. I'm gay and I enjoy the variety of posts on this website. Some of us don't live in a bubble. Gay culture is dying and you need to come to terms with that.

Really Marcito? I look at this blog virtually every day and don't see it, and I'm very perceptive........

@Atomic and the other Marys bitching about the relevance (or lack thereof) of Madonna:
No one forced you to read this post that was clearly about Madonna. Stop drama trolling.

I completely understand why Madonna is covered on Towleroad. But how about covering ACTUAL gay artists instead of numerous posts (often in one day) devoted to an artist whose only success comes from taking advantage of a certain group of people...

Anyone who has a problem with coverage on Madonna and then clicks to read the article AND leaves a comment clearly doesn't understand how blogs and internet ad sales work. If you don't like something on the internet, the LAST thing you should do is click to the link and/or read what's there. When you do so, you've supported it, no matter your profession to love or hate it. It seems that a lot of Madonna articles get TONS of comments, thus she brings traffic and interest. Same with Gaga.
Also, I hate when people say whether an artist or musician is "relevant." If an artist is relevant to YOU, that should be enough.

Even if they come to understand this, they will still keep posting negative stuff. It's called LACK OF F*CKIN COMMON SENSE.

Gay men are the only people I know attacking Madonna - and the bulk of it is ageist hate. (I won't even go into the painfully ironic attacks on her physical upkeep.) Not a single straight man or woman or lesbian I know has been as virulently nasty about the singer who has NEVER behaved in any manner the general public at large approves of. Very interesting indeed.

Madonna, always underestimating everyone else’s intelligence. But I get she was successful for a reason, isn’t it? Sad for her that no one is buying her BS about not advocating that drug trying to appeal to that audience. Come on hag, don’t be so obvious.

Lame. She knows damn well what she meant by Molly. And she doesn't support drug use, yet she names her album MDNA, a play off of the word MDMA? She's so lame. Anything to get attention.

deadmau5? isn't that cat all, mr. meth? interesting.

While I too found her Molly reference a bit forced on her part, but to be thrown shade from a 'rave' DJ is laughable at best.
Haters gonna hate. For those who claim to dislike Madonna but for whatever reason still feel the need to share their 2 cents about her I find a bit "reductive". Guess what in the end it doesn't matter what the haters gotta say, she has a #1 CD in 40 countries right night and a sold-out stadium tour about to start.

Madonna's non-fans will say she's "not relevant" but then if she tries to be "relevant" they will say she's just desperate to be "relevant". She, quite literally, can't win.

eeeeesh this is super awkward. i am a big huge madonna fan/supporter but drug talk is so embarrassing. like do what you want, i'm certainly not against using drugs, but i am against advertising it. how try hard can you get.

What's beyond funny is how 53 yr old Madonna still perceive's herself...just look at her videos. Case closed.

give it up madge,your an embaresment,you never did have any class or style and was always a bit of a tramp,you are no longer relevant and only your moronic fans think otherwise,media creation built on hype,headlines and shock value,you cant even sing,lypsyncher,at the super bowel and in concert always did,please bring back real singers with real voices who dont need headlines and dancers and effects to sell.
