In one of the most unusual social media dramas of 2024, Lana Del Rey and Lizzo almost had a falling out, all thanks to a troll account. According to Complex, a Twitter account called Drop Pop shared fake screenshots showing Lizzo commenting on a TikTok video of Lana on November 13. The post claimed Lizzo said, "I’d like to see you back on the charts," to which Lana supposedly responded, "I would love to see you run on a treadmill." Many fans saw this and overlooked an important detail: Drop Pop is a parody account. They later deleted the post but followed up with another fake screenshot saying, "I hope that alligator eats your big a**," to which another response was, "You’d know about eating biggie." Lana then commented on Instagram about the fake drama, saying, "I don’t think I have an official TikTok, other than the grants one sooooo," and "Or a Twitter," adding that it was “very random.” Both artists usually don’t take social media comments too seriously. Recently, Lizzo laughed off criticism from Antonio Brown about her use of Ozempic. As for Lana, this fake feud with Lizzo might not even be the weirdest pairing she's had this year. Fans were surprised when she performed with Sexyy Red at the Hangout Festival, which was unexpected for many. Both seemed to enjoy themselves, aware of how strange this seemed to fans watching.
In any case, it’s a relief that Lana Del Rey and Lizzo are not actually in conflict, and hopefully, people will stop confusing parody accounts with real news. Lizzo already has enough challenges from shows like South Park, but she handles it all with grace. Both artists have strong fan bases eager for their next projects, so it will be interesting to see what comes next. Keep it locked 103.5 The Beat for more!
