As her new Migos-assisted single, ‘Bon Appetit,’ continues to underwhelm on the critical and commercial front, singer Katy Perry is seeing her name served a-front controversial headlines.
The singer/songwriter took to live stream to scold followers who weren’t exactly fond of her new blonde hairdo by stating:
“Oh, someone says, ‘I miss your old black hair,'” she said before sarcastically replying, “Oh, really? Do you miss Barack Obama as well? Oh, OK. Times change. Bye! See you guys later.”
Granted, Perry has been a longtime supporter of the former president, but many didn’t appreciate the comparison – some even claiming the quote housed hints of “racism” and “privilege.” Needless to say, as the story made its rounds, Twitter was set alight.

Boycott ??
Wait, huh? Wasn’t she just saying that things change, and people should get over it? Like … yeah, y’all miss Obama but he couldn’t have been President any longer than he did. This is internet stupidity!
Stick a fork in her. She’s done.
Kitty Scary thought her new flop single would have Bieber’s success by cutting her hair like his lol #Sorry
Bye Katy Kat !!
Wow is all I can say, I killed a fraud & obviously haven’t been a fan in years…
Oh please at the overreaction, her point was that things change. Not these people overreacting over nothing.

You have the worst taste in music
You determined this based on my defense of a statement Katy made which has been blown out of proportion. There is no correlation there sweety, apply for one of Bey’s scholarships so might get yourself to the IQ level needed to argue against me.
Secret and open racist support her, I’m sure. If black people stop supporting her, I doubt those white people will. I’m sure they found this “funny” and “it’s not a big deal”…
Yikes! She’s getting dragged by the Weeknds producer too for allegedly using the the n word. Is this the beginning of the end for Katy?
Taylor wins!
She hasn’t been the same since dissing Britney Spears.
Katy’s time is UP. Bad single performance, harsh bad hair. Bad live performances. Taylor Swift has that lane on LOCK. Katy corny and old.
Wow! She is over now.
Not her fan, but people nowadays are offended by f****** EVERYTHING! It s just a bad joke, take it as it is and stop being so stupidly dramatic
You can say you love fried chicken and black people will get offended hahaha
The joke was dumb ass hell. And made no sense poor comparison . why not pay the haters no mind if she’s unbotheted or better yet said I’m comfortable with the choice of hairstyle I’m rocking. She would’ve got praise for sticking up for herself than to randomly throw Obama name in a discussion of her hair. Smh
It was a bad joke. She’s just an idiot who became famous because there are idiots out there who have ideas about what they think music is. Another idiotic comment from an ill informed white woman in America who will play dress up and fight for women’s rights then make ignorant dumb ass statements. Katy, Ur So Gay!
Ever since Katy chopped it off she been catching L’s. B**** give Sinead her look back! Bout saying this her “purposeful pop” era. You fraud. Go find your purpose, pop an apology & then disappear. Ya cancelled and permanently pulled…. No syndication!
