Much has been said lately about Katy Perry working with P.O.D. back in 2006 on their track “Goodbye For Now” (from 2006’s “Testify“) before she struck it big. P.O.D. themselves have now clarified the situation with the below video and post, stating that she was never a ‘backup singer’, while also tooting their own horn a bit. You can take that all in below. As for Perry‘s involvement in the band, you can see her performing with the band in the videos at the end of the post
“This is revisionist history and disrespectful to our girl Katy Perry who was NEVER a backup singer … We invited her to participate on our record as she was and is still is one of the few pop artists with strong musicianship roots … She paid her dues not as a backup singer but in a van going town to town. This is the problem with music journalism today … Shabby reporting. No research. No history.”
