Gossip singer Beth Ditto has criticised Katy Perry for her pretend-lesbian single 'I Kissed A Girl', describing the track as a "boner dyke anthem for straight girls who like to turn guys on by making out or, like, faking gay", when speaking to Attitude magazine. She's also quoted as saying: "I hate Katy Perry! She's offensive to gay culture, I'm so offended. She's just riding on the backs of our culture without having to pay any of the dues and not being actually lesbian or anything at all".
Asked for a response by thelondonpaper, Perry commented: "I heard that she said something about me. I don't want to get into a slanging war with anybody so I don't want to say anything bad about her. But I'm not impressed. I've learnt in the past year that one artist should never insult another artist's music - it's tacky. And with me, it always comes back to bite me on the ass!"
I'm not sure that it was the music Ditto was complaining about, really. But whatever.
