This is growth, baby. Katy Perry and Chief Keef put their 2013 drama behind them like professionals—Perry extending the olive branch after realizing she didn't even know Sosa was on that track, and Sosa showing maturity by eventually apologizing for his heated response. Now they're in a studio making music together. That's called evolution.
The internet went absolutely feral when footage dropped of these two linking up. Fans have been living for this enemies-to-friends arc for over a decade. But here's the real question: does a 'Legendary Lovers' remix actually slap, or is this just savvy public relationship repair ahead of Perry's The Ones That Got the Plays compilation debuting at No. 117 on Billboard 200? Timing is everything.
In June 2013, Perry wrote: "Just heard a new song on the radio called 'I Hate Being Sober' and I have serious doubt for the world." Chief Keef—still a teenager at the time—responded with an NSFW threat and later said he'd "smack" her. On May 27, 2026, they were filmed in a parking lot together before heading to the studio where Perry posted a TikTok captioned "Legendary link up."
Thirteen years is a long time to hold a grudge, but apparently not long enough for these two to resist making music together. The 'Legendary Lovers' remix drops at the perfect moment—just in time for them to pretend they've always been fans of drill music and pop crossover collabs.
Well, well, well. Looks like Katy Perry actually managed to summon Chief Keef after all. Footage emerged Wednesday night (May 27) showing the pop superstar linking up with the Chicago drill pioneer in a parking lot with their respective teams flanking them—talk about a glow-up from their Twitter war days.
Sosa kept it relatively casual in a green jacket and jean shorts, while Perry pulled up in head-to-toe black leather like she was about to star in her own action movie. Whatever tension existed between these two clearly evaporated the moment cameras started rolling. For those who need a refresher on how this beef even started: back in 2013, Katy heard Chief Keef's "Hate Bein' Sober" featuring Wiz Khalifa and 50 Cent on the radio and couldn't resist sharing her thoughts with the world.
"Just heard a new song on the radio called 'I Hate Being Sober' and I have serious doubt for the world," she tweeted, apparently unaware that Sosa himself was behind the track. The then-teenage drill star did not take that criticism quietly—he fired back with an explicit threat and even said he'd "smack" her. Classic 2013 energy, honestly.
But here's where it gets interesting: Perry eventually walked things back, sending a public apology that read, "I'm sorry if I offended you. I heard a lot of people guesting on the song & didn't even know it was you in particular." Sosa also acknowledged he could have handled his response better. And just like that, internet peace was restored—until now, when Perry decided to try her luck at "summoning Mr.
Keef" via TikTok over the weekend. Apparently, the summon worked. The two apparently headed straight to the studio after their parking lot meetup, because Perry wasted no time posting a TikTok dap ping up Sosa with the caption "Legendary link up" soundtracked by her 2013 Prism deep cut "Legendary Lovers." And get this—Chief Keef appears to have blessed the remix with new vocals.
The track originally landed on Katy Perry's 2013 album Prism, but she's since added it to her compilation LP The Ones That Got the Plays, which dropped earlier in May and debuted at No. 117 on the Billboard 200. Whether this collaboration will move that needle remains to be seen, but one thing's for certain: the internet is absolutely eating up this full-circle moment.
