Katy Perry compared her old hairstyle to Obama and people are not happy

A major gaff.
Katy Perry

In case you missed it, Katy Perry chopped her hair off into a buzzcut a few weeks ago, however she’s now found herself the centre of controversy over the new style.

You see K-Pez has come under fire for comparing her old hairstyle to that of former US President Barack Obama.

Yes, we are also having trouble making the connection but let us explain…

Before and after.

In a recent Instagram live video, Katy responded to a fan who commented that they miss her long, black, but as you can witness here, Katy doesn’t have much sympathy for them.

“Oh, someone says, ‘I miss your old black hair, oh, really? Do you miss Barack Obama as well?” Katy mocked. “Oh, OK. Times change. Bye! See you guys later.”

People quickly took to Twitter to call out Katy’s inappropriate comments.

Hopefully everyone forgets about this ‘foot in mouth’ incident by tomorrow’s Met Gala, or it’s going to be mighty awkward for Katy who’s co-hosting the event.
