Katy Perry’s ‘Woman’s World’ Video Sparks Controversy
Katy Perry’s latest music video for “Woman’s World” drew significant attention but not necessarily for the intended reasons. Released as the lead single from her upcoming seventh album, the video features Perry in a surreal, hyper-feminine construction site setting, where she encounters bizarre and disjointed scenarios including being flattened by a CGI anvil and donning robotic armor.
Despite Perry’s energetic performance, the video left many fans perplexed and critics questioning its alignment with feminist themes, particularly given its production by Dr. Luke, who has faced allegations of sexual assault from Kesha in the past.
Criticism of the video extended to its portrayal of a supposed “women’s world,” which some viewers felt fell short by focusing on hyper-sexualized depictions of predominantly white women with similar body types. The choice of predominantly male crew members further fueled debate about the video’s message and production decisions, highlighting a disconnect between the video’s intended message and its execution.

Nigerian singer Speed Darlington speaks with regret as he reflects on his life. He shared that he is disappointed in himself for still being single at his age and not having any children.
The singer said “Up till now, I’m not married and I don’t have any children. All I have to show is an American passport. I want more than American papers—I want a family and respect.”
Nigerian singer Tems reacts to comments linking her with Nigerian goalkeeper Maduka Okoye.
During a recent interview, the singer spoke about the African music movement.
“It’s amazing, you know, coming from Nigeria. I’m just really happy where African music is going right now. Everybody’s popping off and everybody’s shining. So I’m just happy to be a part of that.”
She was then asked if she knew the goalkeeper, to which she replied “Do I know him personally? “I think I do. No, no, no, no, no. I don’t.”
The host then teased her, saying “We should shoot our shot.”
