The Facebook page "Venus of Sound" which was used to promote the story had a page transparency tab (archived here) indicating it was run by several people in Vietnam, among others.
The Vietnam connection is significant, since fact-checkers, including Lead Stories, have identified a major source of AI-generated false stories coming from a single operation based in that Southeast Asian country. We have published at least 70 fact-check articles in 2025 focused on this content.

(23,633 posts)See link above. The viral story about the singer reacting to a supposed rant from Leavitt about out-of-touch celebrities who think they can lecture America originated on a network of websites and Facebook pages run from Vietnam.
My suggestion would be to self-delete.
