ENTERTAINMENT NEWS - Madonna has spoken of her "specific memory" of receiving and reading an "intensely personal" letter from her former lover Tupac Shakur.
The 59-year-old singer can vividly recall reading a 1995 note from her former lover - who died in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas in 1996 - after it was hand-delivered by a friend when he wrote the missive while behind bars.
In an affidavit filed at Manhattan Supreme Court and seen by the "New York Daily News' newspaper as part of a legal bid to prevent an auction house selling her personal items, including the letter.
Madonna recalled: "I have a specific memory of receiving that letter because I had a close personal relationship with Tupac Shakur and I specifically remember receiving a phone call from him while he was in jail.
"My recollection is that he had one of his friends hand deliver the letter to my home in Manhattan.
"I also have a specific memory of reading the letter. In particular, I remember that he apologised to me. I never gave this letter away. It is intensely personal."
