Karleusa Mocks Milica Pavlovic and Her Album Caka
Days before the release of her sixth album Caka, Jelena Karleusa took to X to ridicule Milica Pavlovic, her followers and the album's title, reigniting a long-running showbiz feud.
- Milica Pavlovic announced her sixth studio album Caka for June 25, with ten songs and a title track of the same name.
- Ahead of the release she deleted more than 6,000 Instagram posts and unveiled a visual in a red sheer outfit atop a plane bearing her name.
- Jelena Karleusa posted on X that Pavlovic has no fans, just her own followers on holiday, and mocked the album title.
- Her posts triggered a wave of comments and revived a years-long feud between the two singers.
On June 23 and 24, Jelena Karleusa fired off a series of posts on X mocking Milica Pavlovic just a day before the release of her sixth album. In the sharpest of them, she wrote that her colleague has no fans, only her own followers on holiday, and then went after the album’s title too. “Caka? Maybe it is some English word where C is read as K?” Karleusa wrote, instantly reviving a feud the two singers have waged for years.
The trigger came from the other side, a major announcement. Milica Pavlovic set the release of her sixth studio album Caka for June 25. The record carries ten songs, with a title track that shares its name. The rollout was built to be impossible to miss: in the days before the release, the singer deleted more than 6,000 posts from her Instagram profile and reset the account, leaving a blank wall as the prelude to a new era.
Why did the title Caka become a target?
The visual Pavlovic unveiled was the campaign’s main card. She posed in a red sheer outfit on top of a plane that carried her name, in a shot designed to look expensive and self-assured. A move like that usually fires up the audience and floods the comments, but it also opened the door to anyone keen to seize on the details, above all the unusual album title.
That is where Karleusa saw an opening. Instead of addressing the songs or the production, she struck at the name of the record and at the one measurable thing that stings most in showbiz, the audience. The claim that Pavlovic has no fans was not chosen by accident. It is a statement that cannot be disproven on the spot, and it hits exactly what every singer leans on to defend herself: numbers, followers and the response to her posts. The ironic jab about how to pronounce the word Caka further reduced a serious announcement to a punchline.
The reaction online was instant. Comments multiplied, the followers of both singers split into camps, and part of the audience read Karleusa’s posts as a familiar move, the one where she senses attention and steps into someone else’s campaign to take it over. Others sided with Pavlovic, arguing the aim was to overshadow a day that was supposed to belong solely to her album.
Is this a continuation of an old war or a new round?
The conflict between the two singers is not new, and it does not surface for the first time precisely at the moment of a big release. That is exactly why the timing of Karleusa’s posts is as much a part of the story as their content. The album Caka was announced as a turning point in Milica Pavlovic’s career, and Karleusa managed to pull part of the attention, built for days around the June 25 date, back onto herself and her own commentary.
For Pavlovic, the question is how she will respond, whether with silence and a focus on the music, or with a new move to keep the tension alive. For Karleusa, who placed her posts without naming anyone in the opening line but with an entirely clear target, this is another round in which she has turned a showbiz war into content. And for the audience, watching it all unfold in real time, it is left to decide who came out of this exchange stronger.
Do you think Karleusa’s attack ahead of the release helped get even more people talking about the album Caka, or did it simply pull attention away from the music?
