        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lana Del Rey shared some harsh assessments of her pop peers Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj, Ariana Grande — and many others — Thursday in a smack-talking <strong>Instagram post</strong>.</p><p>The &#8220;Young and Beautiful&#8221; singer, 34, originally took to Insta to respond to accusations that her music romanticizes abusive relationships.</p><p>The <strong>newly single Del Rey</strong> wrote, &#8220;I&#8217;m fed up with female writers and alt singers saying that I glamorize abuse when I&#8217;m just a glamorous person singing about the realities of what we are all seeing are now very prevalent emotionally abusive relationships all over the world.&#8221;</p><p>She continued — by throwing a few fellow female pop stars under the bus, too.</p><p>&#8220;Now that Doja Cat, Ariana, Camila, Cardi B, Kehlani and Nicki Minaj and Beyoncé have had number ones with songs about being sexy, wearing no clothes, f - - king, cheating, etc — can I please go back to singing about being embodied, feeling beautiful by 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&#8217;m glamorizing abuse?&#8221;</p><p>At the same time, she also announced that her new album is due Sept. 5, and on it she will explore these sensitive subjects further.</p><p>Meanwhile, she&#8217;s getting dragged on social media. Twitter critics are questioning why she would compare the content of <em>her</em> music to that of a slew of mostly African-American female artists.</p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/shonfaye/status/1263393209801203712?s=21" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">British writer-activist Shon Faye posted:</a>&nbsp;&#8220;Think Lana’s post would have been fine if she hadn’t compared herself to a group of mostly black women with the clear tone that she thinks she’s been treated worse by the media when that’s observably untrue.&#8221;</p><p>Another <a href="https://twitter.com/blueivysdoormat/status/1263419454102417408?s=21" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">follower tweeted</a>, &#8220;Beyoncé was threatened to get lynched because she dared to sing about police brutality, Ariana got death threats for the death of her boyfriend that she had no control over. Kehlani got death + rape threats for a breakup song. All the women Lana mentioned have been through hell.&#8221;</p><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/CAcQPuBJdir/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="12" ><p><script src="https://platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js" async="async"></script></p><div > <strong></p><div ><svg width="50px" height="50px" viewBox="0 0 60 60" version="1.1" xmlns="https://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><g stroke="none" stroke-width="1" fill="none" fill-rule="evenodd"><g transform="translate(-511.000000, -20.000000)" fill="#000000"><g><path d="M556.869,30.41 C554.814,30.41 553.148,32.076 553.148,34.131 C553.148,36.186 554.814,37.852 556.869,37.852 C558.924,37.852 560.59,36.186 560.59,34.131 C560.59,32.076 558.924,30.41 556.869,30.41 M541,60.657 C535.114,60.657 530.342,55.887 530.342,50 C530.342,44.114 535.114,39.342 541,39.342 C546.887,39.342 551.658,44.114 551.658,50 C551.658,55.887 546.887,60.657 541,60.657 M541,33.886 C532.1,33.886 524.886,41.1 524.886,50 C524.886,58.899 532.1,66.113 541,66.113 C549.9,66.113 557.115,58.899 557.115,50 C557.115,41.1 549.9,33.886 541,33.886 M565.378,62.101 C565.244,65.022 564.756,66.606 564.346,67.663 C563.803,69.06 563.154,70.057 562.106,71.106 C561.058,72.155 560.06,72.803 558.662,73.347 C557.607,73.757 556.021,74.244 553.102,74.378 C549.944,74.521 548.997,74.552 541,74.552 C533.003,74.552 532.056,74.521 528.898,74.378 C525.979,74.244 524.393,73.757 523.338,73.347 C521.94,72.803 520.942,72.155 519.894,71.106 C518.846,70.057 518.197,69.06 517.654,67.663 C517.244,66.606 516.755,65.022 516.623,62.101 C516.479,58.943 516.448,57.996 516.448,50 C516.448,42.003 516.479,41.056 516.623,37.899 C516.755,34.978 517.244,33.391 517.654,32.338 C518.197,30.938 518.846,29.942 519.894,28.894 C520.942,27.846 521.94,27.196 523.338,26.654 C524.393,26.244 525.979,25.756 528.898,25.623 C532.057,25.479 533.004,25.448 541,25.448 C548.997,25.448 549.943,25.479 553.102,25.623 C556.021,25.756 557.607,26.244 558.662,26.654 C560.06,27.196 561.058,27.846 562.106,28.894 C563.154,29.942 563.803,30.938 564.346,32.338 C564.756,33.391 565.244,34.978 565.378,37.899 C565.522,41.056 565.552,42.003 565.552,50 C565.552,57.996 565.522,58.943 565.378,62.101 M570.82,37.631 C570.674,34.438 570.167,32.258 569.425,30.349 C568.659,28.377 567.633,26.702 565.965,25.035 C564.297,23.368 562.623,22.342 560.652,21.575 C558.743,20.834 556.562,20.326 553.369,20.18 C550.169,20.033 549.148,20 541,20 C532.853,20 531.831,20.033 528.631,20.18 C525.438,20.326 523.257,20.834 521.349,21.575 C519.376,22.342 517.703,23.368 516.035,25.035 C514.368,26.702 513.342,28.377 512.574,30.349 C511.834,32.258 511.326,34.438 511.181,37.631 C511.035,40.831 511,41.851 511,50 C511,58.147 511.035,59.17 511.181,62.369 C511.326,65.562 511.834,67.743 512.574,69.651 C513.342,71.625 514.368,73.296 516.035,74.965 C517.703,76.634 519.376,77.658 521.349,78.425 C523.257,79.167 525.438,79.673 528.631,79.82 C531.831,79.965 532.853,80.001 541,80.001 C549.148,80.001 550.169,79.965 553.369,79.82 C556.562,79.673 558.743,79.167 560.652,78.425 C562.623,77.658 564.297,76.634 565.965,74.965 C567.633,73.296 568.659,71.625 569.425,69.651 C570.167,67.743 570.674,65.562 570.82,62.369 C570.966,59.17 571,58.147 571,50 C571,41.851 570.966,40.831 570.82,37.631"></path></g></g></g></svg></div><div ><div > View this post on Instagram</div></div><p></strong></p><p ><strong>A post shared by Lana Del Rey (@lanadelrey)</strong> on <time  datetime="2020-05-21T07:26:10+00:00">May 21, 2020 at 12:26am PDT</time></p></div></blockquote><p>&#8220;Lana could’ve made her point without name dropping the successful women she did,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/tylernazario3/status/1263406348479463424?s=21" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">added another</a>. &#8220;She did not have to compare her music to theirs. Let’s be real here, every artist she named gets mad backlash for the music they make. Lana’s whole post just seemed really bitter and ignorant to me.&#8221;</p><p>One detractor on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/titanbaddie/status/1263385562284785666?s=21" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">asked why artists</a> such as Billie Eilish or Lady Gaga were left out of Del Rey&#8217;s hot take: &#8220;She aimed her question to ‘the culture’ and then proceeded to name black women specifically (and Ariana/Camila) who make R&amp;B, Hip Hop and Urban music. Why is that? Why not Taylor? Billie? Adele? Gaga? Katy? Dua?&#8230; Why specifically the ‘urban’ girls?&#8221;</p><p>Reps for Del Rey did not immediately respond to The Post&#8217;s request for comment.</p>]]></content:encoded>
