Katy Perry Seeks Chief Keef Remix, Fans Bring Up Sexyy Red

1w ago

Katy Perry wants a Chief Keef remix. The pop star’s public call for a collaboration has sent social media into a frenzy, especially as fans quickly brought rapper Sexyy Red into the conversation, given her long-standing, often playful, connection to Chief Keef.

The buzz began after a fan-created mashup featuring Perry’s 2013 track “Legendary Lovers” blended with Chief Keef’s song “Save Me” started making serious waves online. Various versions of the audio began circulating on platforms like YouTube around April 2, 2026, quickly gaining significant traction. This viral success seemingly caught Perry’s attention, prompting her to make a direct appeal to the Chicago drill pioneer.

On April 20, 2026, Perry took to her social media channels, posting a video with the explicit goal of connecting with Chief Keef. Her caption for the clip left no room for doubt, stating, “attempting to summon Mr. Keef.” Further reports indicate that Perry confirmed her plans for the remix during a stream party, directly addressing the rapper with, “Hey Chief, let’s do the remix? Let’s go!”

This recent development is particularly noteworthy because it marks a significant shift from a prior, publicly documented exchange between Katy Perry and Chief Keef, whose real name is Keith Cozart. Back in May 2013, Perry had publicly expressed criticism of Chief Keef’s song “I Hate Being Sober,” tweeting that the track “made me have serious doubts about the world.” Chief Keef responded with strong words, including a tweet that stated, “I’m a smack the shit out her.” Perry later issued an apology, clarifying that she hadn't realized it was him on the track and was a fan of his “Don’t Like” video, expressing a general opinion on the generation's desire for constant intoxication. Chief Keef accepted her apology, even suggesting a “New Katy Perry Song Coming Soon” and later a “I Get It Now Dont Worry” tweet with emojis, signaling a truce.

The immediate mention of Sexyy Red in response to Perry’s video stems directly from Red’s ongoing and publicly ambiguous relationship with Chief Keef. Their connection has been a consistent topic of fan speculation, fueled by numerous “cozy” social media posts and flirtatious comments over an extended period. In August 2024, Sexyy Red openly discussed her bond with Chief Keef during an interview, describing him as “my peoples, that’s my dawg” and confirming, “We like each other.” She even made a lighthearted joke about him potentially becoming her “third baby daddy.” The two artists have also collaborated musically, releasing the song “Bow Bow Bow (F My Baby Dad)” in December 2024.

Further fueling public speculation, Sexyy Red posted a series of intimate photos and videos with Chief Keef in February 2026. These posts included clips of them riding in a luxury vehicle, with her legs draped across his lap, and a photo showing Chief Keef positioned behind her with a “cozy grip on her chest.” Despite the intimate nature of these images, Sexyy Red referred to Chief Keef as “bestie” in the comment section, a term that has done little to quell fan theories about the true nature of their relationship.

Online reactions to Katy Perry’s video were swift and often centered on Sexyy Red. Comments across social media platforms, including those shared in The Shade Room’s comment section, clearly reflected this sentiment. Instagram users noted the potential for drama, with one user writing, “Not today Katy I already gotta fight Sexy Red over my BD.” Another commented, “Yeah ok sexy red coming for u.” Similarly, another user tagged Sexyy Red, urging, “Sis , you may have to get in the field. You seen this? Lmaooo,” while a separate user plainly stated, “Sexy Red Will Fight You.” These public reactions highlight the widespread awareness of Sexyy Red’s notably possessive and protective stance concerning Chief Keef, regardless of their officially undefined relationship status.

The storyline between Sexyy Red and Chief Keef has also included other notable incidents. In May 2024, Sexyy Red shared an account of her baby’s father reacting negatively after discovering her text messages with Chief Keef while she was in the hospital. Additionally, in May 2024, Sexyy Red posted a provocative tweet directly aimed at Chief Keef, further showcasing their explicit and playful interactions. The dynamic was again on display in May 2026, when Sexyy Red posted cozy photos with singer Chris Brown, which reportedly prompted a reaction from Chief Keef himself, indicating his continued engagement with her public associations.

This current interaction highlights the complex intersection of pop culture, hip-hop, and the ever-evolving landscape of social media. Fan-driven narratives and past celebrity interactions frequently converge to create new, unexpected viral moments, demonstrating how public perception and social media engagement can significantly shape celebrity dynamics and potential collaborations. The potential for a Katy Perry and Chief Keef remix, set against the backdrop of his ambiguous relationship with Sexyy Red, ensures that all eyes will remain on how this unfolds and what it means for the artists involved.
