The more I look into it the more I realize this has nothing to do with race, sexuality or her gripes with how she is perceived. I honestly feel she mad she cant get #1s and be a major IT girl. Like I said earlier her delivery was off and I was wondering what was so offputting until it hit me. It's her bitterness that made her name drop . You cant force success people gravitate to whatever they like. Just do you and keep it off the nets. There is plenty of R&B girls who cant even get the fraction of support you do. Humble yourself |

I don’t even know what motivated her to make this post. It’s not like she’s coming off a flop era. NFR was nominated for AOTY at the Grammys and was the most critically well-received album of 2019. She’s not getting #1s because her music is not commercial but even then she still sells consistently. What is her point?

Nope. This is next level reaching “oppression olympics” bulls**t.
There is literally no question that she was saying that those women sang about their bodies and sexuality and achieved success. Lana was dragged for a lot of her songs. She mentioned women who got number ones AFTER Lana took a lot of criticism for her sexuality. Especially cola. She said my pussy tastes like Pepsi cola. Everyone roasted her. She’s clearly saying positive things about those women!!? there’s some serious race issues in the world but this isn’t it ❤️❤️❤️ ❤️
At the same time I respect and love and appreciate anyones opinion who is a woman and a woman of color so just debating respectfully ❤️❤️❤️ would love to hear your opinion fully ❤️
But this is nonsense. I can’t with the reaching. It diminishes any real calling out of actually hateful people.

Lana Del Rey wasn't dragged because her lyrics and image were overly-sexual though. That's not even what she's arguing or claiming in her IG posts either. She was dragged for her f**ked up gender politics. Which is a whole other can of worms. Her comparisons aren't even accurate with the artists she's bringing up to defend herself. And her subsequent posts have done her no favors either. She continues to miss the point. And again, WHY IS SHE DIGGING THIS UP NOW? She's been an absolute critical darling for 6 years now and those criticisms fell away years ago. This whole thing makes no sense, lmao. The Twitter dragging has been highly entertaining though. I worship her, but Lord, social media sure has a way of making asses of people. |

No final opinion on this yet however I do think it’s funny that she named Arianna even though they have a song together

Uh I take back everything I said yesterday. "Softer female" delicate female is code word for white female. And her dismissive attitude towards those who cant read and making it a race war indicates she knows exactly what she is doing. This is what I get for giving a white pop star the benefit of the doubt but I've read alot about her today to say she can go f**k herself. She is being so messy that I dont think she is unaware of her delivery. Again its sounding like those women of color can be sexual beasts and gets #1s and my delicate white women and better self cant. If she didnt mean that she would have clarified but so far we got a "fuck off" and then this longer and even worse pt 2.🤦🏽♀️

Sis living in the 70's, thinking she invented third wave feminism lmao. And yes by "softer, glamorous woman" she means white. She unfollowed Ariana allegedly, so the "feedback" may have been from her is what people are saying.
trash behavior. someone take her phone away or lock her out of her socials.

If it's TRUE that Ariana checked her then I'll gladly take her off my suspect list for her bronzer and urban choices. An ally who is willing to check their own and not just make $$ of the culture is part of the community. |

Yeah maybe she is just a narrcistic. Who else holds on to this much animosity from so long ago. This was like 2010s era, she dont even be bothered now. She should sit down with my fav and others from the mid 90s when they went the sexual route before it was allowed or Mariah and britney dragged through the mud for mental health. RIP to whitney or talk to her about her sickness being dragged through the mud. Your story isn't unique stop making it so and use your platform to have a better, more productive discussion.

I'm going to hell but cackled watching this. Sis, get over yourself this backlash is like a regular Sunday night for Nicki Minaj and Cardi B. The 3 stages of Karen's. Attack, denials and lastly.  |

Ngl i'm getting second hand embarassment at this point. The continuous need to explain herself is cringy in itself regardless of what caused it in the first place.
With that said, I can't wait to see her flying the anciest of planes and spraying patchouli extract over the now restored California on the album cover.

The amount of Karening in that video was more than I could handle.
She needs some Anthropology, Ethnic Studies, and Gender Studies classes.

“I’m sorry I didn’t add one Caucasian... one 100% Caucasian person into the mix.” She really doesn’t know that Ariana is white, huh? 💀 I was wondering, who is the 100% caucasian she could have named? I can only think of Taylor, but she doesn't really sing about having sex and so on... |

Taylor has a song on Reputation called Dress which is about buying a dress only to take it off which can be taken as sexual. |
