Katy Perry Hot Song News 2014: 'Roar' Star Addresses Mummy Scandal
Katy Perry is on the cover of Rolling Stone, and she has opened up about cultural insensitivity and her fans.
The pop star has been accused of not respecting other cultures after dressing up as a geisha for the American Music Awards and having mummies with big butts on her tour.
"As far as the mummy thing, I based it on the plastic surgery," she said. "Look at someone like Kim Kardashian or Ice T's wife, Coco. Those girls aren't African-American. But it's actually a representation of our culture wanting to be plastic, and that's why there's bandages and it's mummies. I thought that would really correlate well together... It came from an honest place. If there was any inkling of anything bad, then it wouldn't be there, because I'm very sensitive to people."
She also addressed dressing up like a geisha, and expressed disappointment at it being something people take issue with.
"I guess I'll just stick to baseball and hot dogs, and that it," she said. "I know that's a quote that's gonna come to f--k me in the a--, but can't you appreciate a culture? I guess, like, everybody has to stay in their lane? I don't know."
Perry also said that artists are not the "Second Coming," and she appreciates her fans, but she's certainly not desperate.
Perry knows she wants to have children in the future, but she doesn't think now is the right time. She also doesn't see it happening in the following years, but maybe five years from now.
The singer doesn't want to take a child on tour with her, and she's not worried about whether or not she's in a relationship when the time is right.
"I don't need a dude," she said. "I mean, Neil and David, their twins are beautiful. It's 2014! We are living in the future; we don't need anything. I don't think I'll have to, but we'll see. I'm not anti-men. I love men. But there is an option if someone doesn't present himself."
