Madonna & Ex-Husband Guy Ritchie: Showdown in Child Custody War

Madonna and Guy Ritchie will square off in court Wednesday over custody of their 15-year-old son Rocco, and we've learned Madonna has changed her strategy. 

As we reported, the singer and Guy have not gotten along since their 2008 divorce. In fact, we're told they aggressively dislike each other.

Madonna's initial strategy to get her son back was to trash Guy's parenting skills. She believes he's way too permissive and Rocco suffers as a result. Our Madonna sources say she is an extremely strict and controlling parent ... which often benefits the boy, but at the same time pisses him off.

Madonna Calls Son N-Word On Instagram, Hits Back At Critics

Madonna seems to have a penchant for the outlandish dating back to the early stages of her career to even more recent outbursts. The latest for the pop diva involves her using the N-word on an Instagram post while giving her teenage son props and bashing critics for her use of the slur.

This morning (January 18), the 55-year-old entertainer posted a photo of her 13-year-old son, Rocco, during a MMA-styled workout. The caption read, “No one messes with Dirty Soap! Mama said knock you out! #disn---a,” and naturally a flood of comments starting flying in on the post. Some folks even went to defend Madonna's use of the term, but instead of apologizing the singer delivered more choice words.

“Ok let me start this again. #get off of my d--k haters!” wrote Madonna in response to the social media backlash, attaching the same picture that featured the controversial statement from before. According to Eonline.com, Madonna realized the folly of her words and apologized in a statement on Instagram that seems to have disappeared.
