Madonna posted a controversial coronavirus conspiracy video on Instagram, but the posts has since been removed from the social media site after fans reportedly flagged the questionable clip.
The Like a Prayer songstress, 61, shared a video from divisive US figure Dr Stella Immanuel, who has also been backed by President Donald Trump after he retweeted one of her clips.
Captioning her post, Madonna hailed the Dr her “hero”.
During the video, Dr Immanuel claims malaria drug hydroxychloroquine was a “cure” for covid-19.
She said she uses hydroxychloroquine, zinc, and antibacterial drug, Zithromax to treat Covid-19 patients in the United States of America.

Dr Immanuel also claims face masks are unnecessary.
Madonna’s post has since been taken down from Instagram while the viral video has been banned from a number of other sites including Facebook, YouTube and Twitter.
The World Health Organisation, which Trump has accused of helping to cover up the spread of coronavirus early in the pandemic, does not recommend it as a treatment.

And Dr Immanuel has made a number of other questionable claims, believing demon sex causes sickness and that reptilians help run the government.
She has most recently said Jesus will destroy Facebook’s servers after the social media platform pulled her coronavirus video.
