Madonna has spoken out via Instagram to clarify the statements during the Women's March on Washington

Madonna took to Instagram to say she was using a 'metaphor' when she said during the Women's March on Washington that she thought about 'blowing up the White House'.

On Sunday she shared a photo with her 8.6million followers of her wearing in the same furry black coat she wore to the march, overlain with white lettering that stated: 'I choose love! Are you with me?'

She captioned the snap: 'Yesterday's Rally. was an amazing and beautiful experience. I came and performed Express Yourself and thats exactly what i did.

'However I want to clarify some very important things. I am not a violent person, I do not promote violence and it's important people hear and understand my speech in it's entirety rather than one phrase taken wildly out of context.'

She was a surprise guest speaker at the event. The Secret Service has reportedly said it planned to investigate her claims.

'My speech began with " I want to start a revolution of love." ♥️ I then go on to take this opportunity to encourage women and all marginalized people to not fall into despair but rather to come together and use it as a starting point for unity and to create positive change in the world.

'I spoke in metaphor and I shared two ways of looking at things — one was to be hopeful, and one was to feel anger and outrage, which I have personally felt.

'However, I know that acting out of anger doesn’t solve anything. And the only way to change things for the better is to do it with love.'

Madonna posted an Instagram with the caption 'Express Yourself' - an ode to her popular song which she performed, and continued 'So you can Respect Yourself'

The Secret Service has allegedly said they will open an investigation into pop singer Madonna after her intense speech at the Women's March on Washington on Saturday afternoon

Donning a black p***yhat, the music icon caused controversy by dropping the F-bomb four times, causing a slew of apologies from broadcasters airing the protest live. She went on to speak of her rage at the election result, telling the crowd she had thought a lot about 'blowing up the White House' but knew that it 'wouldn't change anything'

Donning a black p***yhat, she took the stage by storm, dropping the F-bomb four times, which sparked a slew of apologies from broadcasters airing the protest live.

She went on to speak of her rage at the election result, telling the crowd she had thought a lot about 'blowing up the White House' but knew that it 'wouldn't change anything'.

According to the Gateway Pundit, a spokesman for the Secret Service said it was 'aware' of Madonna's comments and will open an investigation, but the ultimate decision whether or not to prosecute is the decision of the U.S. Attorney's Office.

The Secret Service declined to comment on the matter.

Madonna stated in her impassioned speech: 'I'm angry. Yes, I am outraged. Yes, I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House. But I know that this won't change anything.

'We cannot fall into despair. As the poet W. H. Auden once wrote on the eve of World War Two, "We must love one another or die." I choose love. Are you with me?'

Her speech was met with raucous applause from the crowd of an estimated half a million people in attendance at the National Mall for the march.

The Women's March on Washington was declared to be largest inauguration-related protest in US history and comes the day after Donald Trump was sworn in as President of the United States

Not an inch of the street could be seen as the protesters packed tight to show their support for women's rights

Madonna also performed two of her classic hits, Express Yourself and Human Nature, changing one of the lyrics in the latter song to 'Donald Trump suck a d***'.

The pair were just two of the big names to speak at the march's rally at the National Mall for a sea of protesters in pink 'p***yhats', knitted beanies with cat ears that have become the unofficial accessory of the march.

Madonna, whose name was not on the list of speakers for the event, asked the crowd: 'Are you ready to shake up the world? Welcome to the revolution of love.'

'To the rebellion, to our refusal as women to accept this new age of tyranny,' she continued. 'Where not just women are endangered but all marginalized people.'

‘Where being uniquely different right now might truly be considered a crime. It took this this moment of darkness to wake us the f***k up,' she exclaimed.

'It seemed as though we had all slipped into a false sense of comfort, that justice would prevail and that good would win in the end. Well good did not win this election, but good will win in the end.'
