Madonna Falls In Love With An Armed Rubber?

A man convicted for robbery says he used to date pop super star Madonna back in the 80s before she became a legend. Now, speaking from jail, he claims he never ever wanted people to know the "4 Minutes" singer was his ex lover.

Lamont Clarke reportedly dated a kooky girl with big dreams and 30 years later she is Madonna and he is behind bars for theft!

The New York Post Reports:

They knew she had talent, but never imagined she'd become an international superstar. Three decades on, the early portraits of the pop diva have resurfaced in photographer Richard Corman's book "Madonna NYC 83" and were featured in a recent exhibition.

But it was only after The Post published an article about Corman's work that Clarke, now serving a prolonged prison term for robbery, saw himself in the pictures and recalled the shoot.

"I'm a humble guy and never told no one that I knew Madonna," Clarke, 44, told The Post in an exclusive jail-house interview at the Eastern Correctional Facility upstate in Napanoch, NY.

"But fellas kept coming to me with the paper and asking if one of those kids was me. I couldn't lie and told them the truth." He hopes Madonna, whom he called "Sis", will get in touch so he can hand her a personal letter explaining how much she meant to the gang and how much pride they take in her success.

"I am happy for her because she is a beautiful person," says Clarke. "She didn't judge or discriminate and helped all the people she could. "She had a lot of love in her heart, and she’ll always be my older sister.”

Aww, so sweet but do you think Madonna will pay Lamont Clarke a visit?
