The Prodigy's Liam Howlett has admitted he thinks Madonna's music is shit.
Liam accepted Madonna's invitation to DJ for her when she played at Wembley Arena last month.
Howlett, whose band are signed to Madonna's Maverick label, says he did it for the money.
He also says that the Beastie Boys asked him to DJ before their Reading Festival performance telling him what he could and couldn't play.
He told the San Francisco Chronicle, 'I think I've still got a little bit of an issue with the time the Beastie Boys called me up at home before the Reading Festival and said, `You can't play Smack My Bitch Up. You can't do this, you can't do that.'
'I hate their new record. It's weak and dated. But, I mean, I don't ring them up and tell them their album's crap, do I.?'
The band's latest album, Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned, debuted at No. 1 in the UK last month. The album is released in the US this week.
The band begin a UK tour at the Birmingham Academy on December 2.
