Keri Hilson's co-signing of a coronavirus conspiracy theory has disappointed some on the Twitterverse.

As the coronavirus outbreak turned into a worldwide pandemic, information regarding the origin of the illness has been spreading online. While the first known case of the virus was traced back to China, according to LiveScience, a new theory arose stating that 5G network development is what led to the outbreak.

The latest person to support this theory is the 37-year-old singer.

The Georgia native took to Twitter on Sunday night to inform her 4.2 million followers that COVID-19 is a reaction to the effects of radiation.

“People have been trying to warn us about 5G for YEARS. Petitions, organizations, studies…what we’re going thru is the affects of radiation,” she wrote.

Hilson shared pictures of articles about high-speed internet and its relation to the global pandemic.

The “Knock You Down” singer went into further detail on Instagram, posting a lengthy video of a man explaining the theory.

5G was invented in…you guessed it—CHINA. It launched Nov 1, 2019 in 50 Chinese cities with btwn 86,000-130,000 5G base stations by the end of 2019. The 3 largest network operators worked together in a race to be FIRST…only 5 months after retrieving 5G licenses. Those vids we saw of people in China literally dropping dead out of nowhere?? Eerily close to the Nov launch. In a 2019 Netflix Documentary, Bill Gates himself warned of a global health pandemic that would originate in China. Researchers & organizations have done studies, made petitions, and issued warnings of the dangers of 5G over the past few years. A quick search will produce them. Residents of Australia have filed assault charges against phone companies—and WON. Lastly, while we were wondering if the virus was resistant to melanin as Africa went untouched for quite a while, could it have been because Africa is not a 5G region (on the whole)? If some African countries have launched pre-installed 5G network bases as of yet, there are certainly not as many as on other continents, by far. I saw this vid on my friend @chakabars page this am & researched the entire day. Not sold? It’s a lot. I get it. That’s fine. But Google or Youtube affects of 5G, EMF exposure, electromagnetic frequency, & radio frequency radiation for yourself… ???? And to those like me who want to take any measures of protection against it—(although the towers are more dangerous)—you can protect your home & family by going to ur phone Settings to disable LTE under “Cellular Data Options,” which knocks your data speed down to 3 or 4G. Top right corner will show you which network ur on. Also, turn your phone on Airplane Mode or Power them off when not in use or while you sleep. And keep them away from your bodies as much as possible during the day. I’m not an expert on anything. This is a think piece. The post intrigued me & illustrates a possibility based on the facts above. And please watch in entirety before commenting. I’m sure we all got time today…????????????‍♀️

Hilson also questioned why people in Africa aren’t getting the virus although there have been multiple African countries with confirmed cases of COVID-19. 

“Lastly, while we were wondering if the virus was resistant to melanin as Africa went untouched for quite a while, could it have been because Africa is not a 5G region (on the whole)?” she wrote on Instagram. “If some African countries have launched pre-installed 5G network bases as of yet, there are certainly not as many as on other continents, by far.”

The R&B artist advised everyone to disable LTE and turn their phone on airplane mode when not in use.

As soon as Twitter got a hold of Hilson's theory, social media users instantly began roasting her, as they do.

Some were angry she was spreading false information.

A few users — and by few I mean very few — agreed with the songstress.

But, most of them just made jokes.

Politifact has debunked the idea that coronavirus was used as a cover-up for "5G syndrome." There is no evidence to support the claim, and the article, which has been circulating on Facebook, has been flagged as misinformation. COVID-19 is a "zoonotic virus" which means it is spread from animals to people, with doctors believing bats were the source — not 5G internet.
