Madonna’s Knife Work!

Madonna took to Instagram to announce a new collaboration with photographer Steven Klein and V Magazine. The star put together a book filled with photos of herself taken by Steven and posed with the book and the photographer for a few promo photos in which Steven has a knife to Madonna's neck.

Apparently a lot of people are upset with the photo, saying Madonna is normalizing violence or something, but most people are just mad that Madonna said she didn't pay Steven for his work because they had nearly zero budget for the project.

"the fact that we did it with almost zero budget we were still able to make ART! Art is not dead if you have the strength to fight for what you believe in !!
Thanks to all who did support us and slept on couches and worked long hours and for free all to support madame X"
