Madonna Speaks Out About Divorce, A-Rod Rumors

Tweet

Even though her publicist clarified the state of Madonna's relationship last week, the Material Girl still released a personal statement this weekend, saying she and her husband Guy Ritchie are not getting divorced. In the aftermath of New York Yankees' Alex Rodriguez separation (and impending divorce) from his wife following rumors he and Madonna had an affair, Madonna reiterated that she and A-Rod only share a manager and that they are "not romantically involved." "I have nothing to do with the state of his marriage or what spiritual path he may choose to study," Madonna said in the statement. A-Rod has reportedly taken to Kabballah since being introduced to the singer. Madonna was recently seen sitting in Rodriguez's seats at Yankee Stadium, fueling whispers that the All-Star and the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer were having an affair. Rodgriguez's wife Cynthia (who has recently been linked to rocker Lenny Kravitz) is expected to file divorce papers today.

“Jimbrowski”

Jungle Brothers | 1988

Jungle Brothers sampled, among other things, jazz, James Brown and house music. The New York crew's lyrics were equally diverse but never short on clever wordplay or a playful sense of humor, as exemplified by this song from 1988's Straight Out the Jungle. "The idea for that came at the end of a studio session, with Mike, me, Red Alert and a woman Red was dating at the time," says the group’s Afrika Baby Bam. "Red was flirting with her and kept saying 'Jimbrowski' the whole night. Mike and I wrote the rhymes on the way back from the subway."
