Lana Del Rey Gets Backlash For Tone-Deaf Comments On Her New Album Cover

Just like last year when Lana refused to recognize her own privilege or apologize for comments about race that were insensitive and similarly tone deaf.

Lana Del Rey is busy, while America is still winding from the Pro-Trump horde that pounced on the Capitol, with sharing the track list and cover art for her new album, Chemtrails Over The Country Club.

Of course, there’s nothing integrally bad about a pop star endorsing their work. However, as she took a jiffy last year to center herself and protest about frays in the music industry while criticizing mostly women of color, Lana chose to carry opinions about the current events at the Capitol into her post about her soon-to-be-released album.


Lana wrote in a comment on her own Instagram post of the artwork that some of her best friends are rappers, among other comments that came off as tone-deaf to many.

Here’s her comment in full:


I also want to say that with everything going on this year! And no this was not intended-these are my best friends, since you are asking today. And damn! As it happens when it comes to my amazing friends and this cover yes there are people of color on this records picture and that’s all I’ll say about that but thank you. My beautiful friend Valerie from Del Rio Mexico, my dearest friend Alex and my gorgeous friend Dakota Rain as well as my sweetheart Tatiana. these are my friends this is my life. We are all a beautiful mix of everything- some more than others which is visible and celebrated in everything I do. In 11 years working I have always been extremely inclusive without even trying to. My best friends are rappers my boyfriends have been rappers. My dearest friends have been from all over the place, so before you make comments again about a WOC/POC issue, I’m not the one storming the capital, I’m literally changing the world by putting my life and thoughts and love out there on the table 24 seven. Respect it.

Just like last year when Lana refused to recognize her own privilege or apologize for comments about race that were insensitive and similarly tone deaf, fans are voicing frustrations that she would cite the “some of my best friends are Black” trope, a well-known deflection from self-examination. Here’s hoping she begins to understand why her recent comments keep inciting this kind of backlash.


A few thoughts from fed up fans:

I was really about to make the "yeah well some of her fans are black" joke but she did it herself and she did it 1000 times worse I s2g why do people even like this woman. https://t.co/Paz9AaOALs
