Peppa Pig has sparked a wave of social media reactions after making a brief comment about singer Clairo during a recent interview, prompting playful responses from Charli xcx, PinkPantheress and Clairo herself.
The animated character appeared in Pitchfork's Over/Under video series, where she gave humorous opinions on a range of topics. During the interview, Peppa described PinkPantheress as "underrated" and praised the singer's name.
She said, "Her name is Pink? That's the best name ever!... Maybe she would like me, because I'm pink too. And everyone likes me."
However, when asked about Clairo, Peppa simply replied, "I don't know her."

The remark quickly attracted attention online, with fans interpreting it as a playful dig. Clairo later shared on X that Charli xcx had privately messaged her in response, writing, "let's f**k her up".

PinkPantheress also joined the conversation, posting on X, "ain't sh*t sweet until you put respect on clairo".

The exchange also revived discussion about Clairo's own appearance in Pitchfork's Over/Under series in 2019.
During that interview, the singer joked about Peppa Pig's height, noting that the cartoon character was reportedly 7ft 1in tall and questioning the proportions of the animated series. Despite the observation, Clairo ultimately described Peppa as "underrated".
The latest exchange has been widely treated by fans as light-hearted online humour rather than a genuine disagreement, with many sharing clips from both interviews across social media platforms.
Clairo also joked that the increased attention arrived at an inconvenient time, suggesting she had nothing new to promote despite the surge in online discussion.
