Katy Perry has been very visible on social media of late as she tries to drum up interest in her new single “Bon Appétit.”
She got herself a super short new haircut that makes her look like Guy Fieri and has been imitating the Kardashians.
Amazingly, however, it was her hair and not the Kardashian love that triggered people getting fired up on social media.
During an Instagram Live session Perry was reading some fan questions and one was about her new ‘do…
“Oh, someone says, ‘I miss your old black hair,'” said Perry, who then replied with, “Oh, really? Do you miss Barack Obama as well? Oh, Okay. Times change. Bye! See you guys later.” That was followed by some laughter and Perry saying, “I should leave now.”
And that was all it took for folks on Twitter to be off to the races…
I'm sure we can all do without @katyperry right ??? #Loser pic.twitter.com/r9bQcuaCBi

Wow Katy Perry. The reference to former Pres. Obama was offensive & a poor, tasteless attempt at humor. Your privilege is showing.

Katy Perry really fucking tried it with that white ass joke. What does Barack Obama have to do with your dry ass white hair?
