“No Labubus,” she was heard shouting into the mic.

The now-deleted video, originally posted by @ellietaraa on TikTok earlier this week, has since gone viral.

Meanwhile, some fans, including the OP, clarified that Perry’s dislike for Labubu is a running joke between the singer and the fandom.

They added that fans often bring Labubu toys to events “just to play” with the singer, urging others not to take the incident seriously.

The singer has also left a mischievous “😈😈😈” on the OP’s post.

Earlier this month, at another concert in Australia, Perry was also seen widening her eyes after seeing a fan holding a Labubu in the crowd.

Fan allegedly brought Labubu to draw reaction from singer

The OP has since deleted the video as “many people have taken it the wrong way” and began to call Perry “rude and mean” for it.

She also explained that the fan who handed the blind box had commented on the video, explaining that they brought the Labubu on purpose to elicit a reaction from the singer.

Labubu is a plush toy collectable created by Hong Kong artist Kasing Lung and is sold by the toy company POP MART.

Its popularity shot to fame after K-pop group Blackpink’s Lisa posted photos with various Labubu dolls last April.
