So much for wanting to share some personal news.
Pop star Demi Lovato was hit by a firestorm of haters on Twitter after sharing the results of a DNA ancestry test on Friday.
Lovato, 24, revealed that she's mostly Spanish, with Native American, Scandinavian, Irish and British roots. She also said she's 1 percent African.
Lovato's clear excitement was perhaps expected, since she's been outspoken about her love of Africa. After celebrating her 21st birthday by volunteering with a children's charity in Kenya, she got a tattoo of the continent on her arm.
"I went to Kenya and it was just a very, very inspirational journey that I feel like really had a huge impact on my life," she told iHeart radio while discussing her ink. "I would've gotten Kenya but then people would have been like, 'What's that?' So Africa's a little more distinct."
Her test results were not well received.
