 <\/p>\n

In recent weeks, singer Katy Perry has inadvertently sparked speculation that she’s actually JonBen\u00e9t Ramsey – a six-year-old girl that was brutally murdered in 1996.<\/p>\n

In fact, the\u00a0bonkers theory<\/a>\u00a0took off to such an extent that the 40-year-old has been forced to address the secret identity rumours, and this week, she released a controversial\u00a0social media<\/a>\u00a0comment on the matter.<\/p>\n

For those out of the loop, there has been baseless talk of a hidden connection between\u00a0California<\/a>\u00a0hit-maker\u00a0Perry<\/a>\u00a0and murdered child pageant star\u00a0Ramsey<\/a>\u00a0for several years now.<\/p>\n

The Colorado youngster’s body was discovered in the basement of\u00a0her family home in December 1996<\/a>. Her skull had been fractured, and a garrote was found tied around her neck.<\/p>\n

Though her death was classed as a homicide, no killer has ever been brought to justice.<\/p>\n

This tragic reality, however, has meant that the case has long been considered ‘open’ for many\u00a0true crime<\/a>\u00a0fanatics, with many since having suggested that Ramsey is still out there somewhere alive. Or, apparently, making hit records under the\u00a0stage name<\/a>\u00a0‘Katy Perry’.<\/p>\n

More recently, an AI-generated video of the\u00a0mother-of-one<\/a>\u00a0went viral on social media, showing an infant Ramsey slowly morphing into an adult Perry. The post – which was set to her 2012 track ‘Wide Awake’ was captioned: “Wake up ppl.”<\/p>\n

The comments also read, ‘iykyk’, meaning, ‘if you know, you know’.<\/p>\n

In a surprising twist of fate, however, Perry – who shares a four-year-old daughter with actor husband Orlando Bloom – this week responded to the wild theory. Taking to the comments, she penned: “Wait, am I?”<\/p>\n

Naturally, the remark has sparked mass debate online. Many have seemingly found the lightheartedness in Perry’s choice of words, with one writing on social media: “lmao this is amazing.”<\/p>\n

Another added, ‘this is my roman empire’, whilst a third went on to jibe, ‘omg mystery solved’.<\/p>\n

“omg the queen hath spoken,” another continued.<\/p>\n

Some critics, however, have since slammed the star for her lack of sensitivity on the matter.<\/p>\n

“no please don\u2019t joke like this. The little girl was murdered and her family destroyed,” one begged. Another added: “KP, that is disgusting. If you\u2019re going to encourage this and not offer proof\u2026.how could you?!”<\/p>\n

A third went on: “this is psychotic Katy, someone’s child died.”<\/p>\n

The controversy comes just weeks after Ramsey’s father, John Ramsey, issued a plea to police, imploring with them to retest all the initial evidence they collated when his daughter’s body was first found.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the Mail, the 81-year-old focused on one woman’s claim that her ex-lover might be the killer, as well as the unidentified male DNA found on the child’s underwear and beneath her fingernails.<\/p>\n

“DNA technology has advanced dramatically since the last round of testing was done in the mid-2000s,” he\u00a0told<\/a>\u00a0the publication.<\/p>\n

“If it doesn\u2019t work then I\u2019ll praise the police for trying everything they could […] but, to me, it\u2019s just so obvious where the police’s time needs to be spent.”<\/p>\n
