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.

As the bid for next week’s Hot 100 #1 heats up between Megan Thee Stallion and The Weeknd (as we reported here), the ‘Hot Girl Summer’ hitmaker throws another iron in the fire with an animated accompanying video for the J. White Did It-produced bop.

While it should be noted the Jude MC-directed visual aids the original recording and not the Beyoncé remix, it – alongside the single bundle featured on Stallion’s official web site – should come as quite the assist in its race to the top.
