Did Katy Perry claim cannibalism got a bad rep? It’s fake news

Bizarre claims are floating across social media that assert singer Katy Perry spoke to a French radio station and claimed human flesh is the “finest meat in the world”.

The claims link back to an article originally published on the website YourNewsWire.com that reads –

Katy Perry: ‘Human Flesh Is The Best Meat; Cannibalism Got A Bad Rap’
Human flesh is the finest meat in the world, according to Katy Perry, who puts the “exquisite flavor” of the meat down to “the taboo nature of the product” and the fact that “forbidden pleasures are always the most delicious.”
Going as far as to claim that cannibalism is “way more popular than you might think”, Katy Perry also claimed that “so many people in Hollywood tell you that human meat is the best, the absolute best, meat in the world.”
Speaking on French radio, the Bon Appetit singer also claimed cannibalism has “gotten a bad rap” due to “squeamish Christians and their hypocritical virtues and morals”, but consuming the flesh of humans is actually “super healthy and good for you.”
“There are life-enhancing vitamins and minerals in human flesh that you can’t get from animal meat,” Perry claimed.

Despite such claims, the news doesn’t appear to be true. No French media or radio stations have reported on Katy Perry making such remarks, and the story comes courtesy of a popular fake news website YourNewsWire.com.

That website has published a number of viral fake stories, many in the last week or so. YourNewsWire.com is given a FAKE NEWS rating over at ThatsFake.com.

Other than that, there isn’t a great deal to say about this fake rumour. Please don’t trust YourNewsWire.com to get your news – in fact give the entire site a wide birth.
