AceShowbiz - Following her performance with hip-hop group Migos on "Saturday Night Live" last week, Katy Perry had to face major backlash from fans because her collaborators reportedly refused to work with drag queens during their performance. Unexpectedly, Katy has now decided to unfollow the group on Instagram. In response to Katy's bold move, Migos has returned the favor by unfollowing Katy.
Prior to this, Katy was slammed by fans for working with "homophobic" rappers on her new song "Bon Appetit". Adding fuel to the fire, she was said to be supporting Migos to exclude some of drag queens who were supposed to perform with them on "SNL". She didn't even invite any of the queens to the afterparty.
Migos are homophobic you have lost the gays on this one @katyperry Gaga truly won.

"I work at 'SNL' and the rumors are true! Migos held up rehearsal because they 'weren't comfortable with the drag queens' being there," an insider previously revealed. "They were initially more drag queens on the set for that song, but after Migos thre a fit, Katy Perry's team removed some of the queens from the performance. Additionally, Katy Perry didn't invite any of the queens to the afterparty... So, none of them were allowed in."
Migos had drag queens removed from Katy Perry's performance but keep telling me they aren't homophobic 🙃

It's not the first time Migos has been accused of homophobia. Back in February, the group made homophobic comments about rapper I LOVE MAKONNEN who came out as a gay. The group questioned people who supported their fellow rapper's sexuality. They even reportedly wouldn't perform in a gay club. Offset said, "Nah. Salute to everybody that chose their route, I just ain't gonna do that."
