She later denied that her post was an attack on the artists she named, calling out “flip-flopping headline grabbing critics (who) can’t read and want to make it a race war” and claiming that the singers she mentioned were some of her favourite artists. Now that these artists have “had number ones with songs about being sexy, wearing no clothes, fucking, cheating etc”, she wrote, “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’m glamorising abuse?” In the original post, Del Rey mentions “ Doja Cat, Ariana, Camila, Cardi B, Kehlani and Nicki Minaj and Beyoncé” by name.

She added: “My best friends are rappers, my boyfriends have been rappers. In 11 years working I have always been extremely inclusive without even trying to.”
