Today, in \u201cBig-name music beefs that probably won\u2019t\u00a0end up being splashed all over the halftime show at the Super Bowl<\/a>\u201d news: Lana Del Rey has taken pretty clear aim at fellow musician Ethel Cain, releasing a portion of a new track last night that called out the Willoughby Tucker\u00a0artist by name. \u201cEthel Cain hated my Instagram post,\u201d Del Rey\u2019s voice croons as the Instagram video<\/a> shows her looking slightly bored while riding around in a car and lip-syncing. Other lyrics seem to reference Cain taking a picture with Del Rey\u2019s former boyfriend, Jack Donoghue, and namecheck a 2022 New York Times profile about her, \u201cEthel Cain Is The Most Famous Girl At The Waffle House.\u201d <\/a>\u00a0(Del Rey is, herself, a pretty famous Waffle House fan<\/a>.)<\/p>\n All of which feels pretty\u00a0pointed, especially after\u00a0Variety\u00a0recorded<\/a> for posterity an Instagram comment that Del Rey reportedly made in response to a Popbase\u00a0posting about the release. The comment has since been deleted, but reportedly saw Del Rey getting a little bit into her motivations for opening fire like this, stating that \u201cI didn\u2019t know who Ethel was until a few years ago\u2014 when someone brought to my attention the disturbing and graphic side-by-side images she would often put up of me next to unflattering creatures and cartoon characters making constant comments about my weight, I was confused at what she was getting at. Then when I heard what she was saying behind closed doors from mutual friends and started inserting herself into my personal life I was definitely disturbed.\u201d Cain\u2014who just released a new album a few days ago<\/a>\u2014hasn\u2019t commented on the suddenly public beef with the much-more-established Del Rey<\/p>\n Speaking of: Del Rey released her last album, Did You Know That There\u2019s A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd<\/a>, back in early 2023. She was originally slated to release a new album back in May<\/a>, but revealed that she\u2019d ditched both the name (The Right Person Will Stay) and the release date; the new record is currently TBD, but apparently brimming with grudges.<\/p>\n
