Inside the Stars' Feud
Katy Perry and Chief Keef released a song together a decade after their feud exploded.
The pair's original animosity stemmed from when the pop star, 41, dissed one of his tracks, writing on social media at the time, "Just heard a new song on the radio called 'I Hate Being Sober' and I have serious doubt for the world."
The 30-year-old responded by writing, "Dat b---- Katy Perry Can Suck Skin Off my D---. I'll smack The S--- out her."

The pop star called their duet a 'legendary link up.'
The mom-of-one then apologized for her diss, penning, "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." (The song also featured Wiz Khalifa and 50 Cent.)
"I’m a fan of your ‘Don’t Like’ video [to be honest]," she added. "I was really just having a general opinion on our generations [sic] desire to be constantly intoxicated."
The rapper accepted her olive branch and replied, "Oh Im Sorry Too Then."
"Believe me, I'm a lover not a hater. x," Perry added.
When debuting their new song, the "Firework" crooner also included screenshots of their apologies to each other.
Katy Perry Is at Odds With Ruby Rose
Katy Perry and Chief Keef apologized to each other shortly after the spat.
Though the stars have clearly put their past behind them, the same can't be said for Perry and former friend Ruby Rose.
As OK! reported, the Australian actress, 40, claimed the singer sexually assaulted her years ago when they were in their 20s.
"She saw me 'resting' on my best friend's lap to avoid her and bent down, pulled her underwear to the side and rubbed her disgusting v----- on my face until my eyes snapped open and I projectile vomited on her," she alleged. "I told the story publicly but changed it to be a 'funny little drunk story' because I didn't know how else to handle it. Later she agreed to help me get my US visa. So I kept it a secret."
Katy Perry denied Ruby Rose's claim she sexually assaulted her.
The "Roar" vocalist's rep denied the claims, stating, "The allegations being circulated on social media by Ruby Rose about Katy Perry are not only categorically false, they are dangerous reckless lies. Ms. Rose has a well-documented history of making serious public allegations on social media against various individuals, claims that have repeatedly been denied by those named."
Nonetheless, the Batwoman alum filed a police report over the incident in Australia, which is currently under investigation.
