Katy Perry had a bad hair weekend after coming under fire for a reference to former President Barack Obama, E! reported.
During an Instagram Live exchange in which a fan commented on the singer turning her black hair blonde, the “Bon Appetit” performer replied: “Oh someone says, ‘I miss your old black hair.’ Oh, really? Do you miss Barack Obama as well? Oh, OK. Times change. Bye! See your guys later.”
Harsh online reaction to Perry somehow connecting her formerly dark locks to the ex-commander-in-chief continued into late Sunday. Comments ranged from calling her an “underground racist” to “insensitive” to that she merely made herself “look stupid.”
Others Twitter users accused critics of overreacting, writing that Perry said “nothing offensive” while dismissing the “dumb outrage.”
Vibe wrote that Perry “allegedly mentioned the former president because the fan’s username was “MsBarackObamaAsWell.”
People noted Perry’s support for Obama previously, but her hair comment had a part of the internet tressing-out.
HuffPost reached out early Monday to a Perry rep for comment.
