Kim Petras says her website was hacked after messages appeared in a fan chatroom criticising Nicki Minaj.
The posts, which referred to Minaj as a “beast of a lady” over past comments about trans children, quickly circulated online.
Petras and Minaj previously collaborated on the track ‘Alone’ from Petras’ 2023 album ‘Feed the Beast’.
In a statement to People, a representative for Petras said the messages were not written by the singer.
“Kim Petras launched a new chat feature on her website yesterday where her name was meant to be user-protected, however earlier today someone other than Kim was able to use the name and type things without her knowledge or approval,” the statement read.
Following the incident, the chat feature was disabled.
Petras also posted on X about it, saying: “Website was hacked, nothing in that chat room came from me. You’ve lost your chat room privileges.”
Fans in the replies were quick to respond. One said: “OMG good cause that chat was just straight evil.” Another said: “This is why we can’t have nice things… stay strong, we know it wans’t you!” A third added: “People always ruining it for us.”
Meanwhile, some joked the message was reminiscent of Rita Ora’s infamous 2014 post on what was then Twitter.
A tweet appeared on Ora’s account which read: “Dropping my new song Monday if this gets 100,000 retweets.”
Not long after, and when the post was nowhere near that number, she tweeted: “By the way my Twitter got hacked somebody is threatening to release new music I’ve worked really hard on. Nothing comes out until I’m ready.”
