Katy Perry and Chief Keef reunite for ‘legendary link up’ 13 years after online feud
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: It looks like all may finally be calm between Katy Perry and Chief Keef, more than a decade after their brief but tense online feud.
The two artists, once linked to a spat over criticism of music and a viral 'smack' threat, were recently seen together in a series of videos. In the clips, they are casually talking and spending time in a group setting, as if the past conflict never happened.
Still, it remains unclear whether the reconciliation is official or if the encounter is tied to any upcoming collaboration. For now, the unexpected reunion has left fans guessing whether this is just a chance meeting or the quiet start of a new chapter between the two artists.
Katy Perry and Chief Keef reunite after 13-year feud
Keef’s 43B record label dropped two videos on Instagram showing Chief Keef and Katy Perry standing in a parking lot with a group of people. The vibe in the clips is surprisingly calm, with no sign of tension at all.
Perry also jumped in on the moment, posting a video on her TikTok where she and Keef are seen shaking hands. She captioned it, "legendary link up." The clip was set to a fresh remix of her 2013 Prism track 'Legendary Lovers,' now featuring vocals from Keef.
In one moment, Perry and Keef were even seen shaking hands, a gesture that added to speculation that whatever tension once existed has now been put to rest.
Originally released in December 2013, 'Legendary Lovers' wasn’t pushed as a single, but it later got new life when Keef sampled it for his 2014 track 'Save Me.' Fast forward to now - both songs have been blowing up again on TikTok and Instagram.
How did the 2013 Katy Perry and Chief Keef feud begin?
The drama dates back to 2013, when Perry posted on social media, "Just heard a new song on the radio called ‘I Hate Being Sober’ and I have serious doubt for the world." She was referring to Keef’s track 'Hate Bein’ Sober,' featuring 50 Cent and Wiz Khalifa.
Keef didn’t take the comment lightly and quickly fired back online with explicit posts, including a threat to "smack the s**t out her."
Perry later addressed the situation and apologized, saying, "Mr Keef! I’m sorry if I offended you. I heard a lot of people guesting on the song & didn’t even know it was you in particular," she wrote. "I’m a fan of your 'Don’t Like' video tbh. I was really just having a general opinion on our generations (sic) desire to be constantly intoxicated."
