iHype.

A$AP follows Chris on Instagram, I don't think if they still had active animosity he would be following Chris on social media. Unless you think her current man / father of her kids doesn't gaf about her feelings I'm not pro-Chris whatsoever but objectively none of this really makes sense.

"Rihanna gonna **** you up too. I'm gonna beat you just like her" sounds like him defending her and saying he's gonna beat the person in the game just as Rihanna would for talking about her?

Never understood the logic of that counting as "general field" when it is literally limited in who can be eligible for it similar to a genre category lol.

It was also still calling her a throwback essentially + throwing in an ageism jab (bringing up she was a kid when Madonna was popular). Janet also has the infamous "it got shipped back" comment. Every pop girl has had some type of cockiness when they were on top that's just how it works. Stop fixating on it so much and making it bigger than it was.

So she "shades" another female artist and you have an issue She praises another female artist in the interview and you have an issue with that too And yes, your bitterness came out by calling Beyoncé's release a "stunt" and downplaying Katy praising her. Nobody forgot your history of being a Britney stan that came at Beyonce frequently then.

Literally every pop girl has gotten cocky during their prime eras so I'm really not sure why it's turning into "Katy got her karma" and having a discussion of it being some major flaw that derailed her entire career. This was relatively harmless, light, and inoffensive. The way you all continue to hold onto this and make it bigger is exactly why pop girls now never do interviews and when they do it's scripted and rehearsed with the fake "I love everyone" bs lmao. Y'all want pop girls to have personality but then cry and over sensationalize when they say the slightest thing you detect as shade.

If a 2026 artist said Katy was good for a throwback when her name is brought up in discussion of the CURRENT biggest artist in the world it wouldn't be seen as shade because she genuinely hasn't had a hit in years and nobody gaf about her new music. Use the same logic here. Do yall want someone to just lie or…

It is so absurd and sad that all the new female artists rising have been products of nepotism with rich families that fund them. Being a musician used to be a thing for the poor/working class, now we have a bunch of rich kids copy and pasting the same schmalzty singer-songwriter drivel. I think it's late stage capitalism that an arts career is not tangible for working class who have to survive more and more and is instead reserved only for those who have the luxury and connections

Or maybe Beyonce was actually a contender as the biggest female artist currently during that time Reducing that era to a "release stunt"… I guess your trauma as a Britney stan is still there from December 2013 lmao

Saying she wasn't the biggest female currently and was moreso a legacy artist isn't coming at her it's telling the truth. I like Mariah's music 10x more than Katy's, and even Mariah's recent album is better than Katy's last disaster but facts are also facts. You're just looking for a reason to be offended honestly lol.

She wasn't the biggest female artist at the time, and saying that isn't shade. This site is getting way too old to still be stan brain rotted lol.

That was an interview on an Australian Morning Show, so all time US success isn't even relevant. They were talking about the biggest female artist currently, the hosts suggested it was Katy and she actually was humble and replied "no it's not me Beyonce is". She wasn't even boosting herself up in that interview.

Why do yall insist on clinging to this and making it absolutely bigger then what it was The interviewer suggested Mariah was the biggest female singer in the world, and ofcourse at the time in 2014-2015 that wasn't true in any capacity. Katy saying that wasn't wrong, and Katy flopping after didn't make it less true. Quite literally the same as if someone suggested Katy is the biggest female artist today. Yall wouldn't be on someone's throat for years and paint them as a mean girl for simply refuting that and saying Katy is now more nostalgic.

Definitely can see that but even then why not release it for Self-Titled's anniversary at some point Putting songs recorded for an entirely different era on another's album tracklist messes with the body of work. I'm surprised she of all people would do that

Why use a song from another era for B'Day anniversary if she definitely has unreleased + limited bonus tracks f
