Lana Del Rey’s Instagram beef with Ethel Cain inspires upcoming track
Lana Del Rey (Alamy/PA)
Lana Del Rey has seemingly escalated her public feud with alt-pop singer Ethel Cain by releasing a song snippet that appears to diss Cain.
The lyrics in Del Rey's new song reference an Instagram picture of Cain with Del Rey's supposed ex-boyfriend, Jack Donoghue, and seemingly mock a 2022 New York Times headline about Cain.
Following the song teaser, Ethel Cain claimed that Lana Del Rey had blocked her on Instagram.
Del Rey later commented that Cain had previously body-shamed her by posting "disturbing and graphic side-by-side images" comparing Del Rey to unflattering figures and making comments about her weight.
The Independent has contacted representatives for both artists for comment, as Cain recently began a tour for her new, critically acclaimed album.
