WARNING: Fans Tricking Artists by Sharing Fake Edits of People Singing Their Songs While Quarantined in Italy ❗️

Please be aware of fake videos currently going viral on the internet.

Celebrity fans have been editing videos of Italians singing from their balconies while in quarantine. The fans are removing the original music and adding random songs from American rappers and singers including Chief Keef, Ariana Grande, Shawn Mendes, Madonna, and Katy Perry. Some celebrities including Shawn Mendes and Katy Perry actually believed and reposted the edited clips.

Please share this article with friends and family. Currently, over 4,000 Italians have passed away from the coronavirus. This event should not be used to falsely portray Italians in quarantine.

The below video says, “A whole neighborhood in Italy is singing “Love Sosa’’ by Chief Keef while they’re on lockdown and self-quarantined. This video has been altered. Italians are obviously not singing to rapper Chief Keef.
