Poppy‘s former creative director has backed the singer’s claims that Grimes “bullied” her into signing an NDA.Earlier this week, Grimes reignited her years-old feud with the singer, accusing her of “spreading false information for personal gain”.

In 2018, Poppy spoke out against Grimes and her team regarding their collaboration, ‘Play Destroy’.“We planned the song coming out months ago, and she was preventing it,” explained Poppy. “I got to watch her bully songwriters into signing NDA[s] and not taking credit for songs that they were a part of.

She doesn’t practice what she preaches.”In response at the time, Grimes claimed that she was forced into a “disgusting situation” by the singer and YouTuber.Now, five years later, Grimes has taken to X/Twitter to take another shot at Poppy, writing in a since-deleted tweet: “Poppy claims I made her sign an nda and then spoke out “against me” proving she signed no nda.Titanic Sinclair, Poppy’s previous creative partner, has spoken out about the situation.

Yesterday, (August 8) he posted a screenshot of the NDA onto his Instagram stories with a caption reading: “@grimes I think bullying your ghostwriters into NDAs and never paying them is wrong.”Sinclair added: “Hm, look at that. @impoppy telling the truth when it’s convenient.” The creative director and Poppy parted ways back in 2019 after accusing him of “manipulative patterns.”Poppy posted a statement about their professional breakup sharing that it was a “long time coming.”“I met this person at a young age and things were seemingly good for a while until echoes from his past were too loud to ignore,” she said in her statement.She then claimed that he “glamorizes suicide” and has used it in the past to manipulate her and added.
