Madonna Hall of Fame Speech
On March 11, 2008, Madonna gave a speech while attending her induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. She sparked a controversy when the pop music singer, without British accent, admitted to doing drugs, mimicked Michael Jackson and called the audience "motherf*&*ers." Justin Timberlake introduced the singer with his own racy speech including a jab at Britney Spears, "The world has always been full of Madonna wannabes," reports Us. "I might have even dated a couple."
