“I was like, ‘Oh, you’re so cute. Who, um—mom and dad, is it okay if I give the real answer?’ And they were like, ‘Sure, I guess, what’s the answer?’ And I was like, ‘Um, Jeffrey Dahmer’s pretty fascinating. I think I would have loved to have met him. Like, you know, maybe with a third party or something. I have questions I want to … I have a lot to … I don’t know, I would love to…’ And the parents were like, ‘We’ll explain it later, sweetheart.’ And I was like, ‘I’ll just sing “Problem” and go home.'”
The singer’s fans were shocked at her admission.
Dahmer killed 17 boys and men. Most of his victims were gay men and boys of color. His two youngest victims were 14 years old.
