The controversy began with a post on X (formerly Twitter ) from the account Drop Pop that included a screenshot of a recent TikTok video Del Rey, 39, posted, along with rude comments she and Lizzo — who seethed on social media in response to the presidential election — swapped in the comments section. But the controversy took a surprising turn when fans rushed to the post to learn more about the surprise feud, only to discover that it was all a fabrication. The original Drop Pop post included a screenshot of Lizzo's alleged mean comment, which read, 'I'd like to see you back on the charts.
' Del Rey supposed replied, 'I would love to see you run a treadmill.' Lana Del Rey and Lizzo's fans were up in arms after the two singers were reported to be feuding with each other. But the controversy appears to have arisen because of a parody post with fake comments The controversy began with a post on X (formerly Twitter) from the account Drop Pop that included a screenshot of a recent TikTok video Del Rey, 39, posted, along with rude comments she and Lizzo, 36, swapped in the comments section Read More Lizzo joins celebrity meltdown after Trump's election win But the Drop Pop account that posted the comments bills itself as a satyrical take on popular entertainment news aggregation accounts, and the comments were fabricated for laughs.
Despite the account's openness about post parody news, plenty of users who didn't already follow the account only saw its post via retweets and algorithm suggestions that omitted that important context. The post, which gathered at least 20 million impressions, 380,000 likes, and 22,000 reposts — according to Complex — has since been deleted after it was originally posted on Wednesday evening. Fans stayed glued to the made-up back-and-forth after a follow-up post included a fake screenshot of Lizzo saying she hoped 'that alligator eats your big a**,' an apparent reference to Lana's new husband Jeremy Dufrene, who conducts alligator tours.
In the comic post, fake Del Rey replied, 'You'd know about eating biggie.' However, the continued attention may have pushed the satyrical post over the edge, as it received a community note from X users. 'This is a joke.
Lana and Lizzo did not have this exchange,' it read. '@DropPopNet previously described itself as a parody account in its bio.' Sure enough, there was no site of the combative comments between Lizzo and Lana in the TikTok comments section.
However, their fans found that out the hard way after searching through the comments in search of the sniping. 'I THOUGHT THE LIZZO COMMENT WAS REAL,' wrote one disappointed TikTok user. 'We're all here for the same reason I guess,' added another person.
