A day after it was announced that a biopic named 'Blond Ambition' on Madonna's life in New York is in works, the singer finally took to the social media to show her displeasure about the project.
The 58-year-old singer took to Instagram and shared a post in which she wrote, "Nobody knows what I know and what I have seen. Only I can tell my story. Anyone else who tries is a charlatan and a fool. Looking for instant gratification without doing the work. This is a disease in our society."
Along the post, the 'Ghosttown' hit-maker also posted a photo of herself from early in career.
The screenplay from newcomer Elyse Hollander topped last year's list of the industry's best un-produced scripts.
Michael De Luca, who produced 'Fifty Shades of Grey' for Universal studio, is attached to produce the project along with Brett Ratner's RatPac Entertainment and John Zaozirny of Bellevue Productions.
The story is set early 1980s New York as Madonna Louise Ciccone works on her first album, struggling in a business that treats women badly, while also dealing with a burgeoning love life and the first hints of fame.
Universal has declined to comment on Madonna's remarks.
