Miley Cyrus’ brother Trace has called out Katy Perry’s space trip in a wild rant about the “lame” singer on Instagram.
The musician, 36, accused Perry of copying his pop star younger sister’s music career in a wild video shared on social media on Friday.
Cyrus then claimed Perry’s 11-minute Blue Origin mission to space earlier this week was an attempt to stay relevant that “wasn’t working” and begged her to “stop”.
The singer, 40, joined five other women for the first female-only space mission in more than six decades on Monday, flying through space for several minutes before returning to Earth.
Stars like Emily Ratajkowski, Lily Allen, Amy Schumer, and Olivia Munn blasted the Jeff Bezos-funded flight, calling it “disgusting”, “out-of-touch”, and “planet-destroying”.
Cyrus was the latest to call out Perry, raging “Now they’re going to send your a** to space. Didn’t f***ing work! It’s not working. It’s backfiring. Stop!”
He started off the video by saying: “I first knew Katy Perry, though, and her team were lame as f*** when her career was first dying.
“And they were like, ‘Hmm, what can we do? Well, what worked for Miley? She cut her hair off and it broke the internet and everybody freaked out and she bleached it blonde. We should do that with you, Katy!’”
Miley cut her hair into a blonde pixie bob in 2012 and Perry opted for a similar hairstyle in 2017.
Cyrus also claimed Perry went for a more “hip hop” sound by collaborating with Migos on her song Bon Appétit in 2017 like Miley, who worked with stars like Mike WiLL Made-It, Wiz Khalifa and Juicy J on her Bangerz album in 2013.
Cyrus claimed Perry did the “same stuff that Miley did” and was expecting to “blow up”.
He raged: “Guess what? It didn’t f***ing work. And then they just tried some EDM song or some s*** because EDM’s hot. Didn't f***ing work.”
The guitarist captioned the clip, “Didn’t work.. try again,” and added a dice emoji.
The Standard has contacted Perry’s representative for comment.
Perry was joined in space by five other women - journalist Lauren Sanchez, broadcaster Gayle King, civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen, former rocket scientist Aisha Bowe and filmmaker Kerianne Flynn.
Blue Origin is owned by 61-year-old billionaire Amazon founder and commercial space flight entrepreneur, Jeff Bezos, who is engaged to Sanchez, 55.
Many called out the environmental impact of the trip, while others mocked Perry’s enthusiastic reaction when she stepped off the spacecraft, including kissing the ground and saying she felt “super connected to love”.
Amid the outrage, sources claimed the Firework singer regrets the mission being turned into a “public spectacle”.
Ahead of flight NS-31 taking off, actress Olivia Munn called the mission “gluttonous” due to the extraordinary cost for just 11 minutes in space, pointing out: “Some people can't even afford eggs!”
Model Emily Ratajkowski 33, raged on TikTok: “You care about Mother Earth and it's about Mother Earth, and you're going up in a spaceship that is built and paid for by a company that's single-handedly destroying the planet?
“Look at the state of the world and think about how many resources went into putting these women into space. For what? What was the marketing there? And then to try to make it like... I'm disgusted, literally I'm disgusted.”
