The internet ran wild with a ridiculous claim on May 28, 2026: that Justin Trudeau dumped Katy Perry because she got caught flirting with rapper Chief Keef. The rumor spread fast across social media, but there is zero truth to it.
The false story started with an X post from the account Hoops Crave, which shared a cozy picture of Trudeau and Perry alongside a photo of the pop star with Chief Keef. The caption read: “Justin Trudeau has ended his relationship with Katy Perry after Katy was caught flirting with Chief Keef.”
Here is the catch: Hoops Crave’s bio clearly states it is a parody account. The profile says “Craving Hoops Culture | parody account not affiliated with @popcrave.” Despite that clear warning, the post still pulled in over 45,800 views before the truth caught up.
No official statement has come from Perry, Trudeau, or Chief Keef about any breakup. That is because nothing happened. The former Canadian Prime Minister and the “Roar” singer are still together as of late May 2026.
Sexyy Red Jumps Into The Drama With A Warning For Katy Perry
The fake breakup rumor got even louder when rapper Sexyy Red added her voice to the conversation. Hip-hop news account Kollege Kidd posted about Perry and Chief Keef’s new studio session on Instagram. Sexyy Red commented directly under the post:
“Katy u coo but watch out, gang.”
Her short but sharp comment sent fans into a spiral. Some thought she was warning Perry about getting too close to Chief Keef. Others saw it as a simple joke between hip-hop artists. Either way, her reaction helped push the fake story to even more people.
Neither Perry nor Chief Keef has responded to Sexyy Red’s comment. Justin Trudeau has also stayed completely silent on the matter, which is not surprising since the rumor has no basis in reality.
Katy Perry And Chief Keef Drop New Song Together After 13 Years
So why did anyone believe Perry was “flirting” with Chief Keef? Because the two artists just released a new song together called “Legendary Lovers (Save Me)” on May 28, 2026. The timing of the music release made the fake breakup story spread even faster.
Perry teased the collaboration earlier in the week on Instagram. She shared a carousel of pictures and videos from their studio session with the caption: “LEGENDARY LOVERS TONIGHT 9pm PT. YABADABADOOOO.” Chief Keef reposted her announcement on his Instagram Stories.
The song is a blend of Perry’s original 2013 track “Legendary Lovers” and Chief Keef’s 2014 song “Save Me,” which actually sampled Perry’s work years ago. This new version brings the two artists together after more than a decade of bad blood.
A 2013 Twitter Fight Started It All Between The Two Stars
The fact that Perry and Chief Keef are now working together is shocking to fans who remember their 2013 social media war. Back then, Perry tweeted about Keef’s song “Hate Bein’ Sober,” which featured 50 Cent and Wiz Khalifa. She wrote: “Just heard a new song on the radio called ‘I Hate Being Sober.’ I now have serious doubt about the world.”
Chief Keef did not take the criticism lightly. He fired back with a series of angry posts, including one that read: “Dat btch Katy Perry can sk skin off my dk.” In another tweet, he wrote: “I’ll smack the sht out her.” He also warned that a song directed at her was coming soon.
But Perry quickly tried to make peace. She tweeted: “Mr. Keef! 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. Actually…” She added that she was a “lover, not a hater” and said she enjoyed his “Don’t Like” music video. Chief Keef then appeared to squash the beef by replying: “Oh [sad emoji] I’m Sorry Too, Then [sad emoji]”.
Perry Playfully Summoned Chief Keef On TikTok Before The Release
Earlier this week, Katy Perry posted a TikTok video that now makes perfect sense. In the clip, she is seen doing her makeup while sitting on a couch in a meditative pose. The caption read: “attempting to summon Mr. Keef.” It was a funny way to tease their upcoming collaboration.
Fans who saw the TikTok had no idea a full song was coming. When “Legendary Lovers (Save Me)” dropped, the internet exploded with reactions. The song marks a full-circle moment for two artists who once publicly hated each other.

Trudeau And Perry Are Still Going Strong Despite Online Chatter
While the breakup rumor is fake, Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry are reportedly doing very well. The couple is set to celebrate one year of togetherness in June 2026. Their relationship became public in July 2025 when they were photographed walking together in Montreal’s Mount Royal Park during Perry’s Lifetimes Tour.
In January 2026, Perry shut down earlier breakup rumors by posting never-before-seen photos of the couple on Instagram. One picture showed Trudeau swimming at the beach, and another showed Perry kissing him on the cheek in a selfie.
However, not everyone close to Trudeau is happy about the relationship. Sources told Closer magazine that Trudeau’s inner circle fears the romance is moving too fast. One insider claimed: “Things have burned so hot and fast between them. The worry is that eventually it will flame out and it will be Justin that pays the price”. Friends have reportedly noticed a major style shift in the former Prime Minister, especially after photos surfaced of him at Coachella wearing a backwards baseball cap and casual clothes.
But for now, both Trudeau and Perry seem happy and committed. The breakup story over Chief Keef is nothing more than a parody account’s joke that got out of hand.
