Katy Perry, Kesha Among Artists Under Fire For Jeffrey Dahmer Lyrics in Wake of Popular Netflix Series

Nearly 10 years after its release, Katy Perry‘s 2013 chart-topper – ‘Dark Horse’ – has ridden into another storm of controversy thanks to lyrics housed in the portion rapped by its feature, Juicy J.

Although EMMY Award-winning actor Evan Peters continues to win praise for his transformation into the 80’s serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer aboard Netflix’s September 21-released mini-series ‘Dahmer,’ the gruesomeness of the latter’s crimes – as he was arrested in 1991 – is being placed front-and-center for an entire new generation via the gory show.

Because of this, some music lovers have taken to social media to slam work like ‘Horse’ that referenced Dahmer’s acts in a positive or minimized light.

In Perry’s tune, found aboard her chart-topping album ‘Prism,’ Juicy utters: “She’s a beast/ I call her Karma/ She eats your heart like Jeffrey Dahmer.” Now, people are calling for her to take accountability for the insensitive line.

Katy’s not the only Pop diva battling backlash due to a Dahmer reference. Kesha, thanks to lyrics found inside her 2010 tune ‘Cannibal,’ is also under fire for comparing herself to Jeffrey.

“I want your liver on a platter / Use your finger to stir my tea / And for dessert I’ll suck your teeth / Be too sweet and you’ll be a goner / Yeah, I’ll pull a Jeffrey Dahmer,” she croons on tune from her EP of the same name.

As a result, she landed on the radar of critics as well – with some even calling for ‘Cannibal’ and ‘Dark Horse’ to be pulled from airwaves.

At writing, Kesha nor Katy have responded to the hoopla.
