Thirteen years is a long time to hold a grudge — and apparently, neither of them wanted to anymore. Video surfaced Wednesday (May 27) showing Katy Perry and Chief Keef together inside what appears to be a rehearsal studio, officially putting a face-to-face stamp on one of pop culture’s most random feuds. The pop star, 41, and the Chicago drill pioneer, 30, were captured taking photos side by side, both rocking Glo Gang hoodies — Keef’s own brand.

In another circulating clip, Perry’s 2013 fan-favorite “Legendary Lovers” plays in the background as she sings along — a moment that has KatyCats buzzing over the possibility of an official collaboration with Keef.
How It All Started: A Single Tweet That Sparked Everything
The friction between the two dates back to May 2013, when Perry took to Twitter after catching Keef’s track “Hate Bein’ Sober” on the radio. Without naming him directly, she wrote that the song gave her “serious doubt for the world.” It was meant as a joke — but Keef wasn’t laughing.
The Chicago rapper fired back with a string of hostile tweets aimed at the pop star, including a threat and a teaser that read, “New Song Katy Perry Coming Soon.” What started as an offhand comment quickly snowballed into a full-blown celebrity spat splashed across every entertainment outlet.
The Apology That Cooled Things Down
Rather than let the situation escalate, Perry extended an olive branch publicly. She tweeted, “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. Actually…” It was enough. Keef accepted the peace offering, responding with his own mea culpa: “Oh [confused face emoji] Im Sorry Too Then [pensive face emoji].” With that, the feud quietly dissolved.
From Beef to Sample: Music Brought Them Together First
What makes this story even more interesting is that their connection didn’t stop at a Twitter truce. Just a year after their fallout, Keef actually sampled “Legendary Lovers” on his 2014 track “Save Me” — a subtle nod that the song had clearly left an impression. The record has seen a recent resurgence too, with Spotify streams reportedly jumping 70% in a single day back on March 23, according to Newsweek.
Perry reignited the internet’s memory of all this earlier in the week with a TikTok captioned “Attempting to summon Mr. Keef,” which sent fans spiraling into nostalgia. Clearly, the summoning worked. Whether a joint record follows remains to be seen — but the Glo Gang hoodies and studio setting suggest something could be brewing.
