Lola Young has hit back at claims that she is a “nepo baby” and an “industry plant”.Speaking in a new interview with Capital Buzz, the singer-songwriter and former NME Cover star set the record straight after it recently came to light that she is related to the author of The Gruffalo, Julia Donaldson.She said: “People are saying I’m a nepo baby because my great aunt wrote The Gruffalo.

I mean what kind of rubbish is that? I have so much to say on that which I can’t even talk about. But I’m not a nepo baby, I’m not an industry plant, there we go I said it.

I’ve cleared that up for all those losers that want to comment rubbish on the internet. Just find something better to do, you’re sad, you’re lonely.”Young continued: “The thing is industry plant is just a term for other artists and other people to use who just don’t know what they’re doing in life and feel upset that someone else is having their moment.

And if you are an industry plant, you’re not going to have your moment for that long, unfortunately. And maybe sometimes you will, it just doesn’t matter, none of these things matter.
