Lana Del Rey has shut down rumors of a supposed online feud with fellow singer Lizzo and admitted she doesn't 'have an official TikTok' account.
Fans of both women were up in arms this week when speculation emerged they were apparently feuding with one another on social media after Drop Pop posted a screenshot on X, formerly known as Twitter, showing a war of words.
The original Drop Pop post included a screenshot of 36-year-old Lizzo's alleged mean comment on a TikTok video, which read: 'I'd like to see you back on the charts,' as Lana, 39, supposedly replied: 'I would love to see you run a treadmill.'
But the Drop Pop account that posted the comments bills itself as a satirical take on popular entertainment news aggregation accounts, and the comments were fabricated for laughs.
Lana, who recently flashed her new wedding ring, seemingly confirmed this when she commented on an Instagram post featuring the screenshot and wrote: 'I don't think I have an official TikTok, other than the grants one sooooo,' followed by: 'Or a Twitter,' and then: 'Very random.'
When a screenshot of her comments were shared on X, people were quick to respond as one person claimed: 'I know she laughed her a** off reading this.'
Lana Del Rey has shut down rumors of a supposed online feud with fellow singer Lizzo
In comments posted on Instagram, the singer said: 'I don't think I have an official TikTok' and called the original comments 'very random'
Another person said: 'People actually believed that was real,' and a third commented: 'That's interesting! It seems like there can be a lot of misunderstandings on social media. It's good that she's addressing it directly.'
'Ya'll need to stop setting up my QUEEN!' a different X user said, while another added: 'Fake. I knew it.'
Someone else pointed out: 'The way she never said she disagrees with the post,' and another person commented: 'I knew it was a parody.'
The original feud 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 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 satirical 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.'
The controversy began with a post on X (formerly Twitter) from the account Drop Pop that included a screenshot of a recent TikTok video Lana posted, along with rude comments she and Lizzo, 36, swapped in the comments section
Lizzo took to Instagram on Thursday to post this mirror selfie and wrote in the caption: 'I hate the internet'
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.
'IT'S FAKE IM SO GULLIBLE,' one user admitted, while another person claimed that they 'knew it wasn't real' all along.
