Katy Perry has landed on hot water after comparing her old hair color to former president Barack Obama. The "Bon Appetit" songstress took to Instagram Live on Saturday, April 29 to respond to a fan who preferred her typically dark locks.

"Aww, someone says, 'I miss your old, black hair,' " Perry read the fan's message loudly, before she sarcastically replied, "Oh, really? Do you miss Barack Obama as well? Oh, OK. Times change. Bye! See you guys later." She then started giggling and turned around to look at her friends. "I should leave now," she said as someone off the camera could be heard telling the singer, "You're cut off!"

Her sarcastic comment sparked negative feedback on Twitter as some users felt she mocked people who missed Obama. "Wow Katy Perry. The reference to former Pres. Obama was offensive & a poor, tasteless attempt at humor. Your privilege is showing," one user tweeted. Another commented, "What does black hair have to do with Barack Obama? You're cancelled @katyperry."

Perry previously faced backlash after making a not-so-subtle joke about Britney Spears' mental health and infamous head-shaving incident. When asked by Ryan Seacrest about her comeback after taking some time away from music, the 32-year-old songstress responded, "It's called taking care of your mental health," before adding, "I haven't shaved my head yet."
