Media wants to create feuds between strong women, says Madonna

Pop diva Madonna says there is no bad blood between her and fellow singer Lady Gaga.

Madonna, 56, took to Instagram to set the record straight after her manager Guy Oseary shot down rumours that the diva dissed Gaga and called her "a copycat" on a leaked song called 'Two Steps Behind'.

"There are those who want to shut me up but they cannot! We still live in a world that discriminates against women. (They) are people that are so hateful," Madonna wrote.

She went on accusing media of trying to create feuds that don't exist. "They want to create feuds between strong women that do not exist! I do not wish ill will towards any other female artist and I never have!" she continued. "The world is big enough for all of us! I will fight for my rights as an artist, a human and a woman till the end of my days! Because I am a #rebelheart."
