Katy Perry Slammed for Jeffrey Dahmer Lyrics
- Funny
- Offensive
Some Fans Suddenly Don’t Like Lyrics About Cannibals
September 28, 2022 – Just when you thought it was safe to listen to Katy Perry songs, think again. The recent release of Netflix’s, Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, has brought attention to Perry’s 2013, Dark Horse. The true crime drama reveals how the Milwaukee cannibal, Jeffrey Dahmer, came to murder seventeen boys and men between 1978 and 1991 and many 2022 fans aren’t finding Perry’s lyrics too tasty.
The song features a rap verse by Juicy J, during which he sings:
“Uh, she’s a beast. I call her Karma.
“She eats your heart out like Jeffrey Dahmer.”
One person wrote on Twitter: “It still upsets me when I hear the line in the song Dark Horse “She eats your heart out like Jeffrey Dahmer” and I always make my daughter turn the station. It’s so disrespectful to the victims families. I hope people remember them while watching Netflix. Sorry for their losses,” while another tweeted, “why isn’t anyone calling out Katy Perry for allowing such a vile & terrible lyric to be included in one of her hit songs? Jeffrey was a notorious serial killer & Katy CHOSE to romanticize his criminal & inhumane actions. I actually feel sick to my stomach. She NEEDS to apologize.
Perry isn’t the only singer to name drop the serial killer in her music. One fan pointed out that Kesha has also referenced Dahmer in her song “Cannibal.” Other artists have also mentioned Dahmer in their music including Eminem, Marilyn Mason, and Nicki Minaj.
