Madonna: ‘I Don't Support Drug Use And I Never Have’
March 27 2012, Published 7:00 a.m. ET
Madonna is denying she made a veiled reference to the illegal drug MDMA (street name: Ecstasy) during her appearance at Miami’s Ultra Music Festival over the weekend, when she asked the concertgoers, "How many people in this crowd have seen Molly?"
With “Molly” being an underground term for the illegal drug, many were upset that the 53-year-old music icon would seemingly promote self-destructive behavior to her massive fan base.

Madonna's new album MDNA is in stores now.
