Lana Del Rey has addressed rumors of an online feud with Lizzo.
On Thursday (November 14), the 39-year-old singer responded to edited screenshots of a conversation between herself and Lizzo on Instagram. Her response came after the parody account Drop Pop took to X/ Twitter to share an edited comment from Lizzo’s TikTok account about the “Summertime Sadness” singer being “back on the charts.”
A fake account for Del Rey responded to the dig by commenting about Lizzo’s appearance.
When a screenshot of the fake conversation was posted on Instagram, Del Rey didn’t hesitate to respond and clarified that she doesn’t use TikTok herself. “I don’t think I have an official TikTok, other than the grants one sooooo,” she wrote.
She also noted that she doesn’t have an X/Twitter account, and added that she was “very confused” by the edited TikTok comments.
Many people came to Del Rey’s defense, expressing how strange it was to see the fake conversation between the celebrities.
“It’s bizarre how people can make up fake stories about things people said when it’s not true,” one fan wrote.
“My love, real ones would never believe that and the others just aren’t important,” another fan added, while a third agreed: “People are just weird I knew you wouldn’t have said that girl.”
After Drop Pop’s post on X/Twitter went viral, the account added a note, which read: “This is a joke. Lana and Lizzo did not have this exchange. @DropPopNet previously described itself as a parody account in its bio.”
The fake comments also included a dig from Lizzo about an “alligator eating” Del Rey’s “a**,” which is a reference to the “Born to Die” singer’s recent wedding to alligator swamp tour guide Jeremy Dufrene in September. The pair married in a rustic ceremony in Des Allemands, Louisiana, the same bayou where Del Rey and Dufrene met on one of his boat tours in 2019.
Only five days after tying the knot, she expressed concerns for herself and her partner’s safety due to the unexpected paparazzi at her wedding.
“Unfortunately, a local couple from Houma won’t stop flying drones into our windows every morning and following us with a tracker,” Del Rey wrote in the comments of an Instagram post.
“Stop switching vehicles following the family – and stop following us around remote parts of the country and Photoshopping my wedding ring into a pearl – I know we would feel a lot safer,” she added. “All that being said, Jeremy is the one and only. And amazing. And we’re very happy.”
