Katy Perry is in trouble.

For reasons her label will be keen to understand, the general public’s perception of the usually likeable entertainer seems to have sullied since her decision to step out to support the Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

Since then the star, who enjoyed a scandal-free and drama deficient run atop Pop before then, now finds herself becoming public enemy #1 within music industry circles.

Now, as she faces fire for an Obama-related joke shared here and “leaks” said to be coming from those close to her see baseless rumours about her splattered all over blind items pages, she has been hit with another scandal.

The Weeknd‘s producer Mano shocked his Twitter followers recently when he claimed that Perry called him a ni**** and used the disgusting word regularly and comfortably.

she couldn’t understand why and we had 2 explain 2 her that it wasn’t endering and it was really offensive — 20/3 CrashOvrrd MANO (@CallMeMano) April 30, 2017

Mano’s story comes after industry murmurs rise about a video which allegedly captures the star in problematic action.

There is no proof that such a video exists.

Why do you think Katy has suddenly found herself in all this PR trouble?
