Having conquered the charts, Katy Perry is looking to make a major mark on the music business with quite the power play.
For, the ‘Dark Horse’ singer has revealed that she is launching her own record label.
Details below…
The surprise move was announced by Perry on Twitter moments ago. There, she wrote:
I am so ECSTATIC to finally announce my NEW label Metamorphosis Music & my first signing, the incredibly talented & soulful FERRAS! @ferras
Shortly after, the 29-year-old posted the label’s logo on her Instagram with the caption:
Introducing my new label venture with @capitolrecords featuring my first artist FERRAS @ferras
************
Congrats to Katy. As much stick as she gets from some sects, there’s something to be said for an act that realizes the importance of diversifying their brand. Chart dominance doesn’t last forever. Hence, it makes ample sense to have one’s hand in as many pots as possible — stirring them all.
That said…
Are we the only ones somewhat alarmed? For, as inoffensive as Ms. Perry is, this all feels fairly…rushed. After all, despite amassing hit after hit, there’s no hiding the struggle that are her live vocals. And while her sales are indeed solid, they seem indicative of an act who still has room to get better and bigger.
Put simply, why is there such haste to become a jack of all trades, when – at this point – Perry is a master of nothing? Echoing the point above, we’re all for diversifying one’s brand. Yet, when there’s so much work to be done on self (see: stage presence, live vocals), is it really worth diving time that could be spent bettering self to spend on other artists? In any case, what’s done is done. It’ll be interesting to see how it all plays out.
More than anything, it could always be worse. It could be Rihanna.

Eww she’s talentless but yeah she could be Rihanna kii
Queen!
Wish her the best, it’ll be nice to see a woman run a label. But I’m just worried because time and time again, unless you’re a rapper, pop stars labels don’t go so well. MC had a lable, crashed and burned. Usher had a label, crashed and burned, hell even MJ had a lable… crashed and burned (other than his HIStory album and the Free Willy soundtrack.) So good luck Ms Katy.
Following in Jenny’s footsteps I see. Branding yourself is so important if you want to make serious money. I mean think about it, who wants to be a puppet forever like Puppethana over at String Pulling Nation.
30k dear.
360 h**.
^ O_o
LMAO Rihanna will be at the bottom of the Forbes list again!! She’s like the brokest popstar ever!!!
Is Ciara even on the Forbes list?
clocked.
Is Ariana Flopde?
She’s on the Hot 100 b****. #2 to be exact, ugly.
oop!
That wasnt the question you impaired faggott!
–
Where is she on Forbes List? since you tryna clock other people for being on that list, Where is ya girl at?
–
She Busy studying Mariahs eras to steal for her new album?
–
I like your failed attempt to divert the attention to her single in the Hot 100… but the bittch cant even get her Freshman album to scrape any certifications!
Flopara stans lost there right to call anyone a flop looong time ago. Besides moo of course
Not with multi platinum albums, a Grammy, RECENT top 30 hit, Millions of albums sold and stage performance like none other, and many other achievements.. While still being a signed artist……
–
This isnt Ashanti, or Kelly Rowland were talking about here… BYE
So the logo is obviously a butterfly!
And the name hints at “MK Ultra Mind Control” Something she has been under her entire career.
–
–
I wouldnt sign with her if I were you!
Hell I wouldn’t sign to Ciara if she had a record label. I want a promised; guaranteed musical success, please and thank you. And that Ciara can’t.
Ciara is in that Kelly Price lane………
Ciara is a damn irrelevant ass flop #57k
At least Ciara could perform when her vocals are not at her best. Katy sounds like a gangbanged cat
But your fave Tinashe is inspired by Ciara!
Have a seat! And come back when she makes any type of impact outside of the ghetto strip clubs in the bankrupt city of Detroit.
–
And not a Ariana Flopde stan co-signing with anybody when she cant even get a Certified Freshman album!
LMAO!!!! No one is inspired by your fave. Tinashe will do more than a 40 – 50k when her album comes out. Unlike Ciara, she actually has REAL & Dedicated fans that will go and pick up the album because they know it’ll be the best thing that has come out since a long time.
Time to look for a new fave because QUEEN Tinashe is already passed Ciara, your girl has no steam anymore.
In the words of Tinashe “Ciara’s lame n!gga and she ain’t makin’ no noise” 😀
Delusion. She will be a one hit wonder with her Cassie-like vocals. Gurl bye.
GORL!!! LMFAO!!! THE REACHING!!!!!!!
–
Her are seats I booked you and the rest of the 10 TinaFLOP stans…
_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/
Nobody’s wide enough for that KP lane…
Nobody is wide enough for that KP lane…
I wonder how many Pop crap artist will be part of it.
good move though it will flop, I pray it works… Rihanna should learn, her time to be doing less than ciara’s number is near
You look like a poor THOT!
–
Bye
b**** show yourself, you look like Katy Perry without make up. #fanofnobody.
Gurl…..
floptureciara
GORRRRRLLLLL not a poor Thot! Lmao
Why are you so ugly?
at least I look better than your mummy… #lowbudgetbitch.
People shouldn’t call others ugly when you’re hiding behind an account name. Post your real FB or twitter and then let’s talk.
Bittch Im OVAH!!! Trust I have ZERO worries!
–
U tried my confidence though…
–
BYE MARK378978192
Post your real profile or forever shut the hell up.
Gurl your still pressed i see
A bunch of rubbish. Too generic for my liking.
Katy sucks and Birthday flopped. She won’t get another #1 out of this album with her ugly ass!!!
2 #1’s, plat and a tour. The album is already a success. When will Nacho top the BB Hot 11 chart?
Sam, this was forced. Are you that desperate for a hit? Sounds like someone we all know…
I wish her the best as well, I do agree with TGJ about her focusing on more music and getting bigger as a star then having a label with artists more talented than her.
Katy Basic White Trash Perry. She’s such a coke head.
they read katy perry for filth lol
Why ya’ll gotta bring Rhi in this tho?
Well get those coins i guess! Not her growing as a business person faster than Rihanna slow asss who still relies on everyone else. Dead.
ciara’s stans are so bitter, it must be hurtful to stan for a certified flop..I like her though for a throwback.
Gurl your Avi is a FLOP!
Doesn’t change the fact that Ci is a flop tho
Sure, If FLOPS still get Top 40 hits on the Hot 100….
–
The only FLOPS are the ones who cant get their Freshman albums off the ground.
–
Ciara is unbothered even when her Flop album debuted at #2 on the Billboard charts, only right behind JayZ..
–
Stay pressed tho
B**** f*** you and your dollar general shades
DEATH!!!!!!
She got gutts. That’s a huge step.
he like george michael
not in a good way
As a businesswoman, this is a smart move. She’ll cash on some money if this works, and if it doesn’t, Capitol Records will take the hit.
She’s definitely aiming for Mariah Carey’s crown with all the number ones, butterflies, and ‘own’ record labels though. Meanwhile, Rihanna isn’t involved in any of this, it boggles the mind why she was even mentioned.
Very smart!!! Why is everyone hating? Everyone can’t be at the top forever. Why not make money cultivating other peoples careers? No one said Katy perry was quittin the business as a solo artist but I think it’s really genius on her end to get a head start on the next step. What does her voice or stage performance have to do with any artist she signs? Nothing. She will be making money from different angles. I can’t wait for the day beyonce launches hers. Well technically I guess she has already with roc nation.
TGJ MAKE A POST!
–
They finally combed Blue Ivys Hair!
–
Praise Jesus!!!!
Why Blue Ivy’s hair more relevant than Ciara though?
For all the wrong reasons babe, for all the wrong reasons…
Why is a Ciara stan talking? The only show Ciara can perform on is the BET Awards & 106 & Park. She can’t even get on an American Idol anymore to perform.
Lmao uhm sweety what stage has Tunafish what your fave is booked?
*whatever
Oh HELL NAH, not a cheapy a** Katy “I Can’t Sing” Perry is talking! LMAO at that “TunaFish” comment though, I was waiting for someone to say that.
But at the end of the day, Katy is white (Which means everyone will buy into her cheap pop songs) and makes white “Yo Gabba Gabba” music so there is no argument here. Katy isn’t real talent to me! Thank You!
Rihanna and Katy are the same, they both can’t sing and they’re only famous because they are doing cheap pop songs to gain a fast hit and they have people writing for them. BYE!
You cannot be shading Ciara when your fave hasn’t and isn’t doing SH!T *exits left while playing 2On ;)*
Right, isn’t that because Tinashe just started? Yeah, close your gap and leave! Tinashe has a huge legacy to fulfill right now! 😀
Lmao this bish gets one minor hit and her stan gets cocky. Foh dummy!!
Tinashe is a FLOP,
You will deal!
–
–
She wishes she was on Ciaras level!

Cassie >>>>> TinaFLOP
You and your troll accounts lmao. Get a life! Nobody cannot get me in my feelings. I’m 2 On right now!
“Kay is a lame nlgga and the he/she ain’t makin no noise”
Who do you stan for? I’ve never heard of it.
Lame ass me? no darling but savor this moment cause from today on I aint replying to b!tches who’s faves can’t get a thread so bye b****.
Why won’t Sam post about J. H** selling 736 copies first day in the UK?
Lana Del Rey can’t even sing and she suck but is still getting big numbers smh.
It’s all in the look department.
Jealous much? LMAO again!!!
Fake troll account
Someone’s mad.
Nice try using my name!
–
Lifeless bytch!
Girl that was NOT me, she didnt even link my Twitter account,
–
Amateur Troll
Oh S*** Sam’s top b**** done flopped don’t expect a post though babe
CRYYYING @ y’all mentioning Rihanna! Y’all’s shade filled posts on Queen Mariah weren’t getting that many hits anymore so I guess it’s Queen Rihanna’s turn. SMH It must suck hating those two so much but have to rely on them to keep this site afloat! Carry on!
Why won’t Sam post about the shades of cool video?
I love it. So much better than West Coast.
You mean FLOPcoast sis
The same flop that charted in more countries than Pills N Plastic?
Again, same stuff. 1930s depression era budget and tease
And you still watched it. Thanks for contributing towards its VEVO views/streaming points.
Likewise with cheryl babe
Katy is cute!!
Ferras slays tbh. He’s not a typical pop act and can siiiiing
Unlike your fave?
Absolute death from a nicole “your love makes me feel Like a FlOPPp”
Why is the TinaFLOP stan trolling under my name in reply sections, and then replying to it as herself…..
–
Really girl?
that is not me. quit tryi ng to make me look bad. if you dont know the truth, don’t accuse.
No shade but who is Tinashe?
Cassie’s lessor
Someone greater than a CiError.
That error sound has been sounding off since 2007 when Ciara lost steam with her music. Now check that!
Continue on with your Phaedra Parks Hashtag phrases…
Anyways all I gotta say to you is “You’re not ready
To open up your mind and be mature already
You focused on the s*** you seen before already
Never laid no visions till they pure already
I’m bored already
Of all the judgement they so insecure already…” – Queen Tinashe
Ciara stays in that Ashanti and Keri Lotion level. BYE! This is embarrassing. A CiError stan lmfao. No wonder Charlamagne got at her, she is wack (Her music)!
http://youtu.be/0WD-9osReFI
FLOPPPPPPPPPPPPP!
Your faves self titled album, what we call that…… oh yeah “FLOP.”
1, 2 step the fck outta here, please lmao.
Guys go out and support Mariah’s BUTTERFLY, “a melodic beverage inspired by the magic of Mariah Carey”. Available at Walgreens and Duane Reade.
Will flop worst than her album tbh 🙁
Or Nicole’s entire career as a solo artist?
@Kay/Scherzinger
Listen troll, Your fave Nicole is trapped in the UK right now because nobody likes her in the States. Even Cheryl Cole sells more than her. SMH. Stan for someone else please. 🙂
Who is tinfoil though? Does anyone know her? Hello? Anybody? Didn’t think so.
Nicole is much more relevant then Throwback Carey 🙁
“I’ma shade no” -Got 2 b Real
Girl I searched for Tinashe on Billboard.com to view her chart history, and bittch there wasnt any!!!
–
Why did some white man pop up when I searched????
did ciara’s begin in 04 and end in 07?
No babe, Its still current and very up to date?
–
Im Still baffled as to what a Monica is though! If I search her on Billboard what will come up?
a gold album and platinum singles in 2010. when was cierrors last certification hun? 07 like i said
U do realize 2010 was only 3 years before 2007……?
–
–
The self dragging tho!!~
–
Heres your seats as well
_/_/_/
Monica will Flop worse than JLo
you do realize basic instinct came out in 2010? 37k i aint forget. she couldnt even outsell new life lol
DEATH @ all these flop stans going back and forth. Tinshe(who???), Monica, Mariah, Nicole Sherloser LMAO shut the hell up
How fast did Ciara’s last album fall off the charts is the real question lmao. 9wks? LMFAO!!!!
It was actually 6 weeks loooooooooooool
LMAO she is a non factor. her baby is more relevant than her pathetic ass
I think she has already reached her full potential when it comes to performing. I don’t think it’s going to get any better. She’s never going to master it, so she may as well branch out. Good for her.
I heard the Monster Tour is giving The Run Tour a RUN fir its money.
I don’t know why! Cause, Eminem & Rihanna cannot perform LIVE to save their own LIVES…
Neither can Jay Z, but carry on.
You dirty hos so damn bothered by Rihanna
so Katy kidsbop perry is getting a record label….. it would make sense for her to sign other kiddy artist in her lane like selena gomez and demi lovato.
I’m screaming!
God help the artists signed to her label. Also death at the unknown stans popping up all of a sudden trying to defend their irrelevant fave.
#I don’t know her
Lmao now s***** perry’s kids anthems will have more relevance since she started a label that will generate them for her. Haha and yes
Demi,Selena, zendya, Bridget mendler and Bella thorn can all be signed to her
Seen things like this before. I’ll make a judgement if an Artist comes out.
What happened to JTs artist Esmee Denters??
Still boss move by her BUT one awaits….
