Madonna Demanded Private Elevator Camera At The Standard Hotel Be Turned Off To Avoid Beyoncé/Solange/Jay-Z Type Leak
Madonna was so paranoid about a potential embarrassing video leak that she had hotel security disable her private elevator camera for her pride performance last week.
On Thursday, the pop star appeared at the Boom Boom Room inside The Standard, High Line hotel in New York City. Madonna killed her set and received rave reviews from the packed house.
The 62-year-old singer wasn't playing any games during her stay at the fancy hotel, which was the site of the infamous 2014 elevator fight between Beyoncé, Solange & Jay-Z.
A video leaked of the three in a private elevator at the same hotel Madonna performed at. in NYC. We're told her team was well aware of the past incident involving the superstars and did not want a repeat.
Sources say there was also huge drama with cell phones at the show. An insider claims Madonna wanted everyone’s phones removed before she took the bar stage.
We’re told the ageless icon was told that was not possible which caused a huge meltdown. At one point, it looked like Madonna was not going to make it to the floor and ready to leave. Eventually, things were worked out behind the scenes and Madonna walked out to an adoring crowd.
