When artists cover songs, it’s usually hit or miss. Sometimes, an artist can reinterpret a song and make it their own. Others might not be so fortunate. Case in point: Khia.

A user on Instagram got a hold of Khia laying down an interpretation of Michael Jackson’s classic song “Dirty Diana” off his seventh studio album, Bad. When they uploaded clips of her supposedly in a studio session, gossip sites like Baller Alert and The Shade Room picked it up quickly and shared it with their fans. Naturally, people were upset.

MJ stans even went as far as changing her Wikipedia page to say things like this:

Twitter was also unforgetting with their comments:

Khia attempting to remix Michael Jackson? No thanks.

But do you know what the craziest part about this whole thing? The song is seven years old. According to a press release by Brooklyn-based marketing and publicity firm Audible Treats, the "My Neck, My Back" rapper has been promoting “Can’t Let The Head Go” as early as July 2008. The song was uploaded to YouTube in May 2008. Their description of the song is as follows:

True to the title of her upcoming release Nasti Muzik, the a cappella "Can't Let the Head Go" is as dirty and raw as any of Khia's signature material. After a short (and familiar) instrumental introduction, she breaks into a soulful and jealous interlude about a crush overwhelmed by her sexual appetite. The whole track is only a minute and a half, ending with a tongue in cheek "thank you very much" to an imaginary audience. Always sexy and hardly serious, it captures what Khia and her new record are all about.

Thug Misses even marketed the song herself again in 2014.

It looks like she finally caught wind of people going in and stopped her "Yum Yum" single tweets on her timeline to say this:

☺️ "Let's Give Them Something To Talk About!" In my Bonnie Raitt Voice🔊🔊🔊

So there you have it. Everything truly lives on the Internet forever.
