Demi Lovato issued an apology on Twitter. The 23-year-old singer took a lot of heat recently after sharing a Snapchat video that showed her mother Dianna Hart joking about the Rio virus outbreak, "Everybody down in Rio gonna get the Zika virus!"

While Demi was not in the video, she was heard giggling in the background and added laughing emojis to the video. The "Skyscraper" crooner insisted that she didn't mean to offend anyone. It was her mother, and not the Zika virus, that she found funny.

"In no way did I mean to offend anyone last night. I was laughing at how southern my mom sounded, not the issue at hand. Deepest apologies," Demi told her online followers. "If you watch everything I do, you're still a fan.. I ain't goin nowhere b***hes."
