Kim Petras Beats Social Media Censorship After ‘Problématique’ Album Release
The artist's account had been blocked on X (formerly Twitter) after posing nude, covered only by a piece of jewelry
Kim Petras made a surprise release of Problématique on September 18. The launch of this album was originally scheduled to happen before Feed The Beast (2023). However, her record label halted its release due to a massive leak on the internet. Now, these 10 songs that seemed to have been lost (and distributed) on the deep web have been re-edited and released, wrapped in a visual aesthetic more in line with the sexually bold EP Slut Pop.
With the release of this album, the German artist has transported us to the most sensual France, to the world of Parisian cabarets oozing with eroticism, much like the Moulin Rouge. In this case, we should speak of a «Moulin Bleu» due to the color palette chosen for its cover. Our protagonist poses completely naked, accompanied only by a beret and leather gloves, wearing intense blue eyeshadow. It’s the brilliant title of her new project that strategically conceals certain parts of her body.
Alongside this image, the singer has shared other photos that belong to this «problematic» French-accented universe. Among them is one where she lies down, once again displaying her figure entirely uncovered, covered only by a couple of pieces of jewelry. This post led to her account on X (formerly Twitter), owned by Elon Musk, being suspended for a certain period of time.

The social media platform stated that the artist has «violated the rules against graphic violence or adult content» in her profile picture or header. After posting the notice sent to her from X on her Instagram Stories, the artist’s account has become operational and visible again, except for her profile picture, which has been replaced by a default avatar.
On Instagram, she has posted all these photos without any issue. She even joked about a piece of merchandise that has recently gone on sale: «Now you can wear my boobs,» she expressed with a shirt on which she has printed her breasts. On the front of the garment, you can read «Je suis problématique» (I am problematic).
«I remember being at Kim’s house like two and a half years ago. She played me these songs at three in the morning, and I’ve never been more amazed in my life. She’s legendary, and I’m super proud of this iconic queen,» said her friend, American model Teddy Quinlivan.
