Pop star Katy Perry has received some instant backlash over an upcoming Migos collaboration. New reports claim people have lashed out at the crooner for associating herself with the Atlanta trio.

According to gossip news, Migos’ past remarks about openly gay rapper iLoveMakonnen have forced people to blast Perry.

Perry’s new song, “Bon Appetit,” will be released Friday, but the backlash has already begun when the cover art revealed she collaborated with the rappers. Fans are pissed because they’ve made homophobic and misogynistic remarks … notably, when an ATL rapper came out as gay, Quavo said, “This world is not right.” Now, Perry’s getting heat … especially after accepting a National Equality Award last month at the Human Rights Campaign gala.

Earlier in the week, Katy announced their new “Bon Appetit” collabo is dropping Friday (April 28).

Back in February, Migos apologized for controversial remarks they made about iLoveMakonnen’s sexuality.

In a recent Rolling Stone interview, Migos react to iLoveMakonnen’s headline-generating gay announcement.

And so I’m surprised by Migos’ reaction when I mention iLoveMakonnen, the local MC who just came out as gay on Twitter. “Damn, Makonnen!” Quavo bellows after an awkward interlude. I mention support I saw online for Makonnen’s decision. “They supported him?” Quavo asks, raising an eyebrow. “That’s because the world is f*cked up,” says Offset. “This world is not right,” Takeoff says. “We ain’t saying it’s nothing wrong with the gays,” says Quavo. But he suggests that Makonnen’s sexuality undermines his credibility, given the fact that “he first came out talking about trapping and selling Molly, doing all that.” He frowns. “That’s wack, bro.” (Rolling Stone)
