Katy Perry’s PR problems are set to intensify this week after sources close to the ‘Saturday Night Live‘ production camp claimed she pulled drag queens out of one of her performances on the show.
Why?
Because her ‘Bon Appetit‘ collaborators Migos asked her to.
Already under fire for remarks Perry’s fans deemed homophobic, the thriving Hip-Hop group were said to be incensed when they discovered that the Pop singer had invited drag queens to perform the cut alongside them on Saturday night.
One dancer revealed…
I was one of the performers on that table with them the whole time, during the rehearsal for 3 days. On the day of the filming, when I got there, I was told to leave. I wasn’t on the set at the time, but we were asking what happened. They said it was because Migos doesn’t feel comfortable with having drag queens there.
An ‘SNL’ staffer supported this with…
I work at SNL and the rumors are true! Migos held up rehearsal because they ‘weren’t comfortable with the drag queens’ being there. There were initially more drag queens on the set for that song, but after Migos threw a fit, Katy Perry’s team removed some of the queens from the performance. Additionally, Katy Perry didn’t invite any of the queens to the afterparty… So, none of them were allowed in.
Why do you think Migos would have a problem performing with drag queens?
