Perry added, "More importantly, I wish the focus to remain on the great importance of the song and the message of the film." See the tweets below.
On Monday, Perry claimed that Gaga changed one line in the song and that doesn't constitute a co-writing credit. She added, "I credit Diane for writing the song, it is her experience, her pain, her words."
Diane Warren took to Twitter following Perry's claims and wrote, "The song is the result of a special collaboration between myself and Lady Gaga. As Lady Gaga and I have consistently said. 'Til it Happens To You' was inspired by the countless survivors of abuse who need our support and love so they know they're not alone." See Perry's apology here.

"He didn't have to do that and that's a great lesson not only for me, but anybody in this business: to never get above your raising."
Other stars took their social media accounts to share their thoughts. Read about those and watch the video here.

"From the age of six, me and [ODB] used to push shopping carts around grocery stores and try to get nickels. There are very few people who know the real him as much as me.

The two men have had some serious drama. Wayne had previously sued Birdman for $51 million over purported unpaid profits and rights. Last year, Birdman was accused of conspiring with Jimmy Carlton Winfrey, who was indicted on 30 counts including charges of aggravated assault and racketeering, after allegedly shooting up Wayne's tour bus after an April 26th performance in Atlanta. The indictment states that Winfrey called cellphones connected to Young Thug and Birdman, although neither artist was charged in any crimes associated with the shooting.
"This my motherf-- son and I'ma die for him, Ima live for him, and I'll motherf-- kill for him," says Birdman as he stands next to Wayne on stage. 'That ain't gonna never change, n--. It's YMCMB for life, and we gon' live this s-."

The Game believes it's nonsense the way beefs play out online. "Hip hop beefs were healthy & consisted of rap battles between dope M.C.'s like the legendary KRS-One & Busy Bee beef, the Nas & Jay-Z beef, The Real Roxanne & Roxanne Shante beef," he wrote in the caption accompanying the image.
"But now, so much of this bulls- going around, it's even hard for me not to get sucked into this social media way of beefing�. & even though some of these memes be funny as f-�.. Why do they determine who won a rap beef ??? WTF happened to REAL hip hop & the classic way of handling rap feuds ???" he asked.
The Game has famously been involved in a back-and-forth beef with Stitches after his manager punched out the rapper in Miami. Stitches has since requested The Game fight him in a Celebrity Boxing Match, but The Game has only offered several increasingly confusing responses.
Check out the state of beefs today according to The Game here.
