Backlash! Katy Perry's fans voice their anger over her new single Bon Appetit which features 'homophobic' rap group Migos
Katy Perry is getting raked over the coals again for another misstep.
The 32-year-old pop star's fans are not too pleased she has worked with Migos on her new single Bon Appetit.
As soon as the cover art for the track was released on Wednesday, many of her 97 million followers expressed their anger because the rappers have made homophobic and misogynistic comments in the past.

Katy shared a photo of the single art that had her face on a plate of fruit.
Three hands - some tattoo'd, all with diamond jewelry on - reached for a piece.
It clearly stated that Perry had created the song with Migos, an American hip hop group composed of three rappers, known by their stage names Quavo, Takeoff and Offset. They formed in 2009 and are from Lawrenceville, Georgia.

The Ur So Gay singer's caption read: 'Compliments of the chef: 4.28.17.'
Migos made homophobic and misogynistic remarks in the past year, it has been claimed.
Quavo said 'the world is not right' when Atlanta rapper iLoveMakonnen came out as gay.

Soon after they changed their tune on Twitter and said they are 'fans' of the artist. They added: 'We have no problem with anyone's sexual preference.'
Perry should be more careful, cautioned fans, because she has accepted an award at the Human Rights Campaign gala in March so she should know better.
Katy was also criticized for not letting Ariana Grande sing with her on Bon Appetit.
The Grammy winner hit back: 'LOVE ARI. We tight. That has always been fake news baby. Live and learn.'

Last week Katy was slammed for sharing a picture of a Hindu goddess on Instagram on Wednesday, which she captioned with the words 'current mood.'
Social media users immediately took to the site to criticize the post, describing it as 'offensive.'
On a brighter note, Perry is set to close out the highly watched 42nd season of Saturday Night Live as musical guest. The NBC comedy show announced Wednesday that Katy will perform during its May 20 season finale.
It was previously announced that Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, 44, would host the season finale.
