‘I Was Not Circumcised’

Madonna made a bold and confusing statement Friday on her Instagram Stories when she told her 18.5 million followers she “was not circumcised.”

If you’re baffled by the declaration, you’re not alone. The music icon posted a series of selfies to her Instagram Stories with single-word captions written atop each one. Fans who clicked through the images and read the messages one word at a time would soon realize the bizarre message formed by the text on each slide: “I was not circumcised,” Madonna wrote. Instagram Stories expire after 24 hours unless saved by the user who posted them.
