There is no Lana Del Rey and Lizzo feud, as parody claims go viral
Lana Del Rey and Lizzo are not feuding.On Wednesday (November 13), a viral tweet falsely claimed the singers had traded insults on TikTok. In the edited interaction, Lizzo writes “I’d like to see you back on the charts” while Del Rey replies: “I would love to see you run on a treadmill.”Although the account circulating the fake screenshots online makes clear in its bio it’s a parody of pop culture news accounts popular on the app – its similarity to pages like @PopCrave led some users to believe it was real.The post was viewed over 20 million times, and doubled down by editing further insults in a follow-up post, in which Lizzo is edited to say: “I hope that alligator eats your big ass”, a reference to the ‘Ultraviolence’ singer’s marriage to alligator tour boat guide Jeremy Dufrene.Lana Del Rey addresses photoshopped TikTok comments of a fake feud between herself and Lizzo:“I don’t think I have an official TikTok, other than the grants one, or a Twitter, very random.” pic.twitter.com/91edUwkB7n— Pop Base (@PopBase) November 15, 2024Their fake interaction concluded with a jab at Lizzo’s weight, with Del Rey saying: “You’d know about eating biggie”.
