Although the DJ did not reference the Covid-19 pandemic in his tweet, many of Harry’s followers had taken offense to the message about Brazil, as there is a high rate of coronavirus deaths and millions of cases in the country.
Some Twitter users pointed out that the DJ was making fun of Harry Styles fans who often ask him to go to Brazil.
One fan tweeted: “so no one realises that he’s making a joke about ppl constantly saying “come to brazil””

Nooooooo, I was so excited 😭😭😭
Understand, everyone should keep safe and healthy during these scary times
It’s the right thing to do, have to be absolutely sure you can keep the safety of the audience and crew members.
