In Katy Perry’s Dark Horse, rapper Juicy J says: “She’s a beast I call her Karma. She eats your heart like Jeffrey Dahmer.”

Fans have called the lyrics “wrong” and “disrespectful” and decided to hold Katy accountable.

One person tweeted: “Katy Perry should catch some heat for using the lyric, ‘She eat your heart out like Jeffrey Dahmer’. The level of disrespect to the victims and their families.”
