As we reported here, Lana Del Rey got tongues wagging when she took to social media Thursday (May 21) to announce her new album – the follow-up to 2019’s ‘Norman F*cking Rockwell’ – would be arriving this fall.
In a lengthy post, the GRAMMY-nominee outlined the LP’s hold-up has been due in part to criticism she’s fielded regarding some of the subject matter of her depressing emotional songs. Along the way, however, she probably lost support when she specifically name-dropped Beyoncé, Camila Cabello, Nicki Minaj, and Doja Cat (among others) as fellow female acts who ‘wear no clothes’ and ‘sing about f*cking.’
“Now that Doja Cat, Ariana, Camila, Cardi B, Kehlani, Nicki Minaj and Beyoncé have had number ones with songs about being sexy, wearing no clothes, fucking, cheating etc. – can I please go back to singing about being in love even if the relationship is not perfect, or dancing for money – or whatever I want – without being crucified or saying that I’m glamorizing abuse?????” – Del Rey, 2020
Her emphasis on Urban acts, opting to omit the Lady Gaga‘s, Katy Perry‘s, Taylor Swift‘s, and co., was certainly unappreciated by some music fans and – as a result – made her one of the day’s lead trending topics on Twitter.
Practically pissing off every major stanbase in music simultaneously, Del Rey was dragged mercilessly.
Highlights inside:
Nicki Minaj: I’m counting money while he sucking my toes, real nasty with them balls, all net, yeah im gross

As the hoopla above has swelled to over 90,000 related tweets, the info landed on the desk of Doja Cat who responded with:
The racist card once again. Yeah she might of left out other tacky b****** but she’s not lying now is she
I’m tired of people saying “the racist card” wtf white pellets want to feel oppressed so bad. Did she really think those Ladies aren’t dragged ??? He’ll read the comments on this site when they post about any of those Ladies and they get dragged in the comment s by the trolls of this site
Now all of Lana Del Rey fans are on The Weeknd insta attacking Doja Cat
Maybe if people stop screaming racism at everything then maybe just maybe people will stop saying look again using the race card.
That has nothing to do with racist. Im Black too but i can defintly say that has nothing to do with racist!!! HAAAAALLOOO she mention Camila and Ariana too. You all are stupid. First of all you attacked Camila because she was stupid enough to make a racist comment. This woman not talked just about black Woman she mention Camilla too and yeeeeessss she is right now whatß?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
I never said anything Hong was racist learn how to comprehend, still doesnt change the fact that she worded this wrong! And that those women are dragged alm the time by the trolls on this site and social media.
You’re just part of the problem simple as that. An oppressed ethnicity has the right to speak up on what offends them. You a person who is not oppressed and white have no say so on what we can be offended by ✌🏾
im not a fan of her vein slicing music
Then why are you here commenting?
It’s what black women are relegated to unfortunately. They don’t get to sing about love and takeover radio at the same time in this generation
These days other race can’t say what’s on their minds they become racist… every time we disagree with black people we are racist 🙄..like wtf all I see is black people is racist too ..always with the race card smh
B**** shut up
Yes shut up … surprise u didn’t say I’m racist too for saying the truth
I second that stfu people who aren’t black should never tell us how to feel! You don’t deal with what we deal with. You probably don’t show outrage when unarmed black people are murdered all the time by Police and so called good samaritans I bet. So yes STFU about Lana who is criticized just as much as those women
Why are fans mad tho? 🤔 Lana didn’t say anything offensive, she just pointed out the obvious. Women should be able to write songs about any subject matter just like men. She said the other ladies names because they are the most popular female artists at the time. Not to mention she did a song with Ariana just last year. People got too much time on their hands with this quarantine 🙄
Or maybe she just isn’t as interesting as she would like to believe she is. Her indie, take me back to the hippy era look and sound isn’t original and the stuff she sings about isn’t original either 🤷🏽♀️. She is just a weak white woman. All those artists she name dropped have been criticised heavily Beyoncé lost a big chunk of her mainstream audience after her self titled album. Nicki is pretty much the industries punching bag for the last few years. Lana is just weak and can’t stand by her s***…. if you going to tell us your p**** tastes like diet cola say it with your chest and stand by it don’t cower like a b****.
Exactly. Every single one of the artists she named has been heavily criticized for their lyrics, clothes, etc. Its very easy for artists to pick out the wrong reason why they aren’t successful. Like it can’t possibly just be you. Reminds me of when Tinashe tried to say her failure to pop was because she was mixed. 😭😭😭
Tinashe didn’t say she wasn’t successful because she was mixed. She said she didn’t feel like she belonged in either community which a lot of mixed people can relate to.
Keep Camila cabello name out your mouth.
The obsession with ms. Cabello.
Lana u are jealous.
Imagine if beyonce, doja, nicki, cardi, ariana, Camila and khalani all come together and make a song
Their power.
🤣🤣🤣
Wait a minute
Lana del rey is 40 years old
Gurl, 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
she is older than beyonce.
😭😭😭😭
But she isn’t. 😂
I was scared for a minute
But she’s dating a cop.
🤮🤮
Doja ain’t nothing but a 🍆 rider for Nicki. Good luck getting another number 1 Doja homophobic cat. Lana is not racist, but her wording was not great. None of them have GRAMMYs except Beyoncé and cardi 🤣 so sip that ☕️
Camila has two Grammys 👑👑😆🥳
Latin Grammys don’t count loser. That’s the equivalent of a BET award. Don’t drag yourself. #pathetic
Normani doesnt have latin grammys so😂😂😂
Is Normani Latin? No. But Normani does have a VMA…with no album out 😌🙃☺️ Suck a fat one.
Not cool for DojoSmellingAlleyCat to egg on the Blobs aka Barbz against Karen Genevieve Gertrude Laura Ophelia Stephanie Marie De Saint-Sulpice!!
STFU!! 🤣🤣🤣
Make me
it is definitely gonna happen that as a celebrity, whatever you can be twisted and you suffer at the hands of the media and fans. Buh the racist card if it was ever drawn is fvcked up tho………
I am living for Lame Tone Deaf Rey getting her long overdue drag and cancel party
And who are you?
my name is right there. can you read?
whoever wrote this article should have tied it together by mentioning lana’s opening statement “this is for the culture”. as we all know “for the culture” is a term used to describe black / african american lifestyles and entertainment. she then followed by attacking african american women. the opening was loaded. and secondly, she sings about drugs, violent s** and being depressed. tell your fans to buy your albums gal.
Doesn’t matter, I still stan and people love throwing the race card around. Wtf Lana is not racist, and nothing in her rant suggested it
Race-baiting bs, she named popular artists, if she just named white artists she would be labeled racist for leaving out Beyoonce as having a #1 etc.. I’m black but I’m disturbed by these types of stories just as a white person would be disturbed by racism.
I don’t see how other singers’ lyrical themes would prevent her from singing about being in love ?
Plus, it’s quite reductive to sum things up like this as if the artists listed never had different types of material.
If you’re gonna play name dropping, at least back up your words with actual sense. Otherwise it looks like you’re desperate for attention and clearly she’s getting what she wants. People should just ignore her.
She should be happy to even have a career considering she can’t even sing to save her own life. Lana can you address that maybe ?
she is just upset she does not sit at the top of billboard. let’s be real.
she is acting as if none of these women never receive criticism for their sexual nature. she is acting as if she’s never sung the words “I had a vision, a vision of my nails in the kitchen, scratching counters I was screaming. my back arched like a cat…”
Karen Del Rey ladies and gentlemen
Lana is right… Beyonce and co are trashy middle aged women who are terrible role models for their millions of young female fans. It isn’t cool to be a s*** and the provocative lyrics, dancing, etc. are just trashy…. I’m sure the ghetto hood rats who visit this site will disagree, but most of you are trash too.
Not like Lana cares about the dragging online. Since her SNL debut, she’s been used to it…
And with a new album looming I’m not surprised if this is all part of the plan..she is aiming this tweet at her critics aswl who said that she always sings about abusive men and begging for money…
She has a point tho! Will any of them get number ones (excluding cardi cos she pure hiphop) if they kept their clothes on and only rapped/sung about real isht?? Nope. This is not racist this is Lana spitting facts! Beyoncé can not keep her clothes on even in none sexual songs she has at least her hips on display, doja is n*** in almost all her videos, as is Nicki! Nicki the least talented female artist of our generation! Ugh
Oh she big mad! We all know s** sells so stop being bad at what fuels the numbers. The issue is she insinuated that these artist only sing or rap about s** which has gained them a #1 song! Wrong! Lemonade was a album about love, betrayal, hurt, pain and was definitely for the culture (Formation) and still managed to hit #1. Lana is pressed because you have artist like Adele that can sing about hurt, pain and love and still manage to sell and she can’t. Lana Step ya game up and close that mouth sis!
It never hit no. 1 on the Hot 100 lol. I love Beyonce. But stop the madness. And Lana spit facts
that not racist it cute if you agree please say something
