It’s clear that Del Rey has a lot to learn from those around her, and the only question that remains is whether or not she’ll truly ever listen. This isn’t the first time Del Rey has gotten backlash for her comments, with the singer defending herself back in May in response to comments she made about Doja Cat, Ariana Grande, Camila Cabello, Cardi B, Kehlani, and Nicki Minaj. Instead of having a productive conversation with those in the comments section about any perceived criticism, Del Rey made herself the center of the issue at hand, saying: “I’m literally changing the world by putting my life and thoughts and love out there on the table 24 seven.” This disregards those who are actually out there putting their lives on the line by merely existing and being who they are and trivializing their issues. Not only did she equate usage of the word “rapper” with POCs, but she also used “My is ” to try to absolve herself of any racist intentions. It’s good because the melodies are great, and because I have a natural-born ability to put words together.Regardless of her intentions, you can’t deny her choice of words. My album’s not good because I overcame things from my childhood. But I felt that she wasn’t taking me seriously. It probably would have been a good time to exercise some restraint. By the way, I didn’t know she was a big journalist. So it’s like, “Why do you think that you’re going to be the one to put that out there?”ĭid you think about reaching out to Powers instead of clapping back on social media? Mostly because my family is big and they’re here. I’m not throwing everything out there on the table for a reason. Just days following her latest controversy, evidently serving as a fashion icon for an alleged capitol insurrectionist, nostalgic pop star Lana Del Rey has singlehandedly sparked yet another internet uproar - this time with her apparent love of iPhone photo editing apps. But I’ve been very appropriate in other ways. I’ve put a lot of stuff out there on the table. Was she writing about your use of Lolita imagery? Even if it’s me.” And I’ve never said anything about that.
In the piece, she said that I’d overcome something, and the way she said it one can only assume she meant I’d overcome child abuse. Why did you choose to go that route?įirst of all, and this is very me, there were a million beautiful reviews that I didn’t read. After “Norman” came out to glowing reviews, you took to Twitter to criticize a piece written by NPR Music critic Ann Powers, a longtime champion of female artists.
