Chris Brown claims deadly Ebola virus is "a form of population control"

 

The singer shared his theory on the virus which has killed over 4,000 people - before backtracking

Controversial singer Chris Brown is the latest celebrity to voice his opinion on the Ebola epidemic, which has killed over 4,000 people.
Taking to Twitter on Sunday night, Brown suggested that the lethal outbreak was deliberately triggered to deal with the world's growing population.
He wrote to his 13.7million followers: "I don't know... But I think this Ebola epidemic is a form of population control. S**t is getting crazy bruh.
His tweet was quickly met with disbelief, with one follower simply asking "seriously?".

 

He later backtracked

 And clearly not convinced by own his ill-advised musings, he later shared: "Let me shut my black a** up!"
Last week potty-mouthed telly personality katie Hopkins sparked outrage after she decided to declare deadly virus ebola an effective means to control population.
Which was a very stupid thing to say given that Britain just sent 750 troops to Sierra Leone to try and tackle the killer disease.

 

 

Taking to Twitter, Katie wrote: "I rather admire the efficiency of Ebola. From a Malthusian and marketing perspective, it is beyond reproach."
