"I totally made her cry like a baby. I had to get her a towel. I said some really nasty stuff."--Pharrell

Madonna's 'Hard Candy' recording session was apparently very hard on her thanks to some "really nasty stuff" from the N.E.R.D. frontman.

Oh please. I wouldn't be surprised if he not-so-bluntly told her that she can't sing, isn't really pretty anymore(if she ever was) and that she is only famous for being "racy". It's probably the first time she's heard that.

Before you go jumping to conlusions it is best to do a wee bit of investigation.

Madonna HIRED Pharrell to make her cry. He's the producer of her new CD. She wanted it.

for those people sayin who is pharrel? havent listened to music in about more than a decade, hes been been a top producer for quite a few yrs and probably knows more about music in his pinky than madonna does, she has always needed the pharrels of the world to crank out hits, shes just a benficiary of good producers and scandlous news, which makes her marketable. pharrel has cranked out hits for alot of somebodies and thier mothers in rock, pop, r and b and hip hop and is quite good in the jazz style as his band n.e.r.d has shown in live jam sessions! he probably insulted her lack of musicality too. when ur working in music rubbish needs to be kept to a minimum and a real musician/producer who has balls wont take her crap! she cant even tell him whats a g chord!

wow queen you totally burned Steve BURN!!!!!!!!!! i think making madonna cry was wrong, but remember that video jenny from the block, she was picking something out of her eye and then poper said ben made her cry, i mean i know that was fake an in her video but maybe it was like that, maybe he said something so nasty about one of their dancers that was so funny she started to cry thats why hes braggin LOL
