Madonna claims driveway outside her house to be personal

Madonna claims the curb outside her New York City residence is her private driveway that leads into her private parking garage.

Madonna just Instagrammed a picture of the curb and wrote, "Yes Bishes I am Madonna and that is my driveway and if people park in front of it I can't drive in my driveway! So sorry the city doesn't like the color yellow! We will paint a nice dull grey to keep our neighbors happy! Sorry. I'm saying 3 extra Hail Mary's this Easter for this transgression," reports TMZ.com.

According to the Department of Buildings, the 57-year-old singer does indeed have the right to a clear driveway, but she doesn't have the right to paint the curb or put up no parking signs on public property.

Earlier, it was reported that the 'Devil Pray' hit-maker's neighbour was pissed with her 'Tenant Parking Only' sign-board and a yellow-painted curb in front of her place.

The neighbour looped in the Department of Transportation, who demanded Madonna to remove the fake sign in addition to the DOT re-painting the curb.

According to the Dept. of Buildings, Madonna has the right to tow people using her spot, but she can't deter them with unauthorised signs.
