Madonna has revealed she once dated legendary rapper Tupac.

During an interview on Howard Stern's SiriusXM radio show, the Queen of Pop confirmed decades of speculation that she was once romantically involved with the Hip-Hop star before his death in 1996.

Her confession came after Stern quizzed her about an interview she did with David Letterman back in the nineties, when her relationship with Tupac was first revealed.

When asked if she liked Letterman after appearing hostile in their chat, the Living For Love singer replied: “I was mad at [David Letterman] when I said the F-word a lot.

“I was in a weird mood that day. I was dating Tupac Shakur at the time and the thing is he got me all riled up about life in general.”

She went on: “So when I went on the show I was feeling very gangsta.”

It is the first time the 56-year old has spoken about her romance with the rapper, with Tupac branding Madge “real nice” and someone who “helped” him a lot just before his passing.

In the same interview, Madge also admitted to being sexually assaulted in the past, stating: "I was raped. The first year I lived in New York was crazy.

"I was going to a dance class and the door was locked and I needed money for the payphone. [A man] gave it to me… he was a very friendly guy. I trusted everybody."

First you love me, and I let you in
Made me feel like I was born again
You empowered me, you made me strong
Built me up, and I can do no wrong
I let down my guard, I fell into your arms
Forgot who I was
I didn't hear the alarms, now I'm down on my knees
Alone in the dark
I was blind to your game, you fired a shot in my heart

Took me to heaven and let me fall down
Now that it's over
I'm gonna carry on!
Lifted me up, and watched me stumble
After the heartache...
I'm gonna carry on!

Living for love!
I'm living for love!
I'm not giving up!
I'm gonna carry on!

Living for love!
I'm living for love!
Not gonna stop!
'Cause love's gonna lift me up!
(Love!)
(Lift me up!) Love's gonna lift me up!
(Love!)
(Lift me up!)

I could get caught up in bitterness
But I'm not dwelling on this crazy mess (Oh, yes!)
I found freedom in the ugly truth
I deserve the best and it's not you!
You've broken my heart
But you can't break me down! (Come on!)
Had fallen apart, what was lost has now been found
Picked up my crown, put it back on my head
I CAN FORGIVE, BUT I WILL NEVER FORGET!

Took me to heaven and let me fall down
Now that it's over
I'm gonna carry on!
Lifted me up, and watched me stumble
After the heartache...
I'm gonna carry on!

Living for love!
I'm living for love!
I'm not giving up!
I'm gonna carry on!

Living for love!
I'm living for love!
Not gonna stop!
'Cause love's gonna lift me up!

(Love!)
(Llift me up!) Love's gonna lift me up!
(Love!)
(Lift me up!) Love's gonna lift me up! (Lift me up! Lift me up! Lift me up!...)
'Cause love's gonna lift me Up! Up! Up! Up!
Love lift me Up! Up! Up! Up!
'Cause love's gonna lift me Up! Up! Up! Up!
Love lift me Up! Up! Up! Up!
Love's gonna lift me up! (Gonna lift me up!)
Love lift me Up! Up! Up! Up!

Living for love!
Living for love!
I'm not giving up!
I'm gonna carry on!
Living for love!
I'm living for love!
Not gonna stop!
'Cause love's gonna lift me up!
(Love... Love... Love...)
