Madonna has admitted that she found it hard to share, what she called “diva space”, with Justin Timberlake and Pharrell Williams.

Both of the performers appear on the singer’s new album ‘Hard Candy’.

In an interview about the album, which can be watched in full here, Madonna said: “I don’t usually work with other artists who are also performers, so I had to adjust to sharing diva space.”

Although Madonna admitted that it was “fun”, she conceded that “sometimes there were fireworks.”

“My perspective is that they were difficult and I wasn’t,” Madonna joked.
