Waching daily Apr 30 2017

For Complex News, I'm Hanuman Welch.

Katy Perry, on the heels of her just released Migos collab bon Appetite is catching a ton

of heat online after an Instagram live video of the pop star delivering a defense of her

new haircut by name-checking President Obama

In case you missed that,

"Aww, someone says, 'I miss your old, black hair' Oh, do you miss Barack Obama

as well?

Okay, times change.

Bye."

It's unclear if users interpreted the Obama joke as a Trump endorsement, despite the fact

that Perry was an outspoken Hillary Clinton supporter leading up to the 2016 election.

Clinton, of course, lost the 2008 Democratic primary race to Obama causing no small amount

of tension between the candidates' supporters at the time, before accepting a cabinet position

as his Secretary of State from 2009 through 2013.

The IG video was filmed during Perry's promotional run in New York City and you can hear one

member of Perry's entourage say "You're cut off " during the clip.

The newly-woke Perry 2.0 faced similar backlash in 2013 after performing in a geisha-inspired

outfit during the American Music Awards.

Naturally twitter had its piece to say after the Obama video quickly went viral.
