Instagram flagged the singer’s account and then removed a post, after the artist sought to spread information. The post, which was shared Tuesday, appeared blurred with a warning over the video: “False Information.” Instagram removed it by Wednesday morning “for making false claims about cures and prevention methods for COVID- 19,” Raki Wane, Instagram’s policy communications manager, told USA TODAY in a statement. The now- deleted video and caption focused on unproven coronavirus conspiracy theories and a fake cure, which echoed misinformation in a clip that was taken down from Twitter after President Donald Trump shared it.
