Thirteen years after their viral feud, Katy Perry and Chief Keef have collaborated. The pop star invited Sosa to appear on a remix of "Legendary Lovers (Save Me)," which was released on streaming services on Friday (May 29).
This week, Perry attempted to "call out" Chief Keef by posting a video on her TikTok, and then on Wednesday evening (May 27), a video surfaced of the duo meeting in the studio. Following this, KP posted another video, essentially confirming that Sosa would also be appearing on the remix.

After a long hiatus, Boards of Canada returns with the album "Inferno": listen to it now!
Hearing the Chicago drill pioneer rap over a Max Martin-produced beat was hardly something anyone expected this year.
«"You got a job interview, hope it goes smoothly/ Come back home and tell me how you did/ Here's some money, baby, I'm so proud of you/ She gon' go and make it, that's my type of bitch/ She make me party for her like Yabba Dabba Doo," he raps as Perry ad-libs.
The song "Legendary Lovers" was originally included on Perry's album Prism in 2013, and was later republished as part of a collection The Ones That Got the Plays , which was released in early May and debuted at number 117 on the Billboard 200 chart.
The viral feud between Sosa and Katy Perry began in 2013 when KP ignited tensions by expressing her distaste for Keef's song "Hate Bein' Sober" featuring Wiz Khalifa and 50 Cent on the radio.
«"Just heard a new song on the radio called 'I Hate Being Sober' and I'm having serious doubts about the world," she tweeted at the time.
The Chicago native didn't hold back and responded on Twitter with a lewd message, threatening to slap the pop star. He also planned to release a diss track against Katy Perry, which ultimately never materialized.
Perry later apologized. "Mr. Keef! I'm sorry if I offended you. I heard there were a lot of guest musicians on the song and didn't even know it was you," she tweeted. "Honestly, I love your video for 'Don't Like.' I was just making a general point about our generation's need to be constantly intoxicated.".
Sosa also apologized for how harshly he reacted during their conversation. "Oh, then I apologize too," he replied.
