Charli
The British pop singer, whose real name is Charlotte Emma Aitchison, posted a video on TikTok where she explained to fans that her upcoming album Brat does not contain a diss track and is about the struggles of being a female artist.
The Speed Drive hitmaker insisted that the only offensive song on her album is the song ‘Von Dutch’, which was released on February 29 this year.
The 31-year-old artist took to social media to quell speculation about new album, Brat, due out June 7.
She said: “I’m seeing online that some people think there are warp tracks on Brat, and I just want to reach out to her and clarify that there aren’t any apart from Von Dutch, which is kind of like that.”

The Von Dutch hitmaker looked casual, sans makeup and with her long, wavy hair in a loose ponytail to address the rumors.
She told users: ‘The other tracks in question are not. They’re actually about how complicated it is to be an artist, especially a female artist, where you’re pitted against your peers but you’re also constantly expected to be each person’s best friend, and if you’re not, you’re considered a Bad Feminist.
“To me, that’s a very unrealistic expectation.”
After posting the video, the pop princess received an avalanche of comments from her fans, who were desperately trying to figure out which song she intended to attack.
Typically used to attack another artist in the industry, diss tracks have been popular within the rap genre as a way to attack a rival.
A famous example was Jay-Z’s release of the song ‘Takeover’ in 2001, which included attacks on his nemesis, Nas, another hip-hop artist.
However, fans of the pop artist have come up with their own unusual theories about who the dance hit is about, with some even convinced it could be Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
“Can you come for Queen Rishi Sunak?” wrote one.
When answering who the song is about, another user confidently said: ‘Rishi Sunak’.
Some of the pop artists’ fans have suggested that Rishi Sunak is the victim of Von Dutch’s album.
However, the current Prime Minister is not the only one under fire. It has been suggested that other artists are the target behind the catchy dance track.
“FKA Twigs, it’s so obvious,” one TikToker wrote, while others suggested Ariana Grande, Pink Pantheress, Lorde and, perhaps most bizarrely, one user alluded to Queen Camilla.
While it is unclear who the song is referring to, the singer insists that the rest of the album does not reflect a disagreement with any other individual.
In the video, she added: “To me, these songs are about how, as a woman and an artist, some days you can feel on top of the world, some days you can feel incredibly insecure, other days you can feel very competitive.” , sometimes you can literally feel like trash.
“It’s really emotional and hard to deal with and we’re not supposed to talk about it, but these songs do talk about it and I’ll probably get punished for it, but whatever, it’s reality.”

Charli was raised by Jon, a Scottish presenter at a music venue near the family home in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, and her mother Shameera (pictured), a nurse of Indian Gujarati descent.
Charli confessed: ‘I was traveling constantly for two years. My dad had cancer and recovered (at that time) and I didn’t see him because he was just traveling’ (pictured with dad Jon)
In a recent interview with The Heroes Issue of British magazine GQ, the singer confessed that she was not able to visit her father when he was fighting cancer because he traveled a lot for work.
Speaking about her wild introduction into the industry, Charli reflected on memories of recording her first album when she was 14 and signing with Asylum Records four years later.
He then dove headfirst into the industry and worked day and night to build his career.
The hitmaker has been a force in the pop music space since her breakout feature on Icona Pop’s 2012 hit, I Love It.
She said: ‘My life was crazy. But when you’re 21, you can go full speed: have fun, drink, be a jerk and still feel good. You can go to sessions a little drunk, but don’t show it. You can do it all.’
Charli had previously credited her ‘mental’ and ‘eccentric’ father Jon for her cheerful personality.
She was raised by Jon, a Scottish presenter at a music venue near the family home in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, and her mother Shameera, a former nurse of Indian Gujarati descent.
Speaking about her upbringing, Charli evoked memories of growing up mixed and feeling like a “loser.”
Charli, whose real name is Charlotte Aitchison, recorded her first album at age 14 and at 18 she signed with Asylum Records.
“I thought if I made music, people would think I was interesting… Deep down, one of my biggest fears was being boring,” she said.
His parents supported his music career and paid for him to record his first album when he was a teenager.
In addition to releasing her own studio albums, the brunette diva has written songs for major artists like Selena Gomez, Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello.
In November last year, the pop star got engaged to her boyfriend, George Daniel, 33, who is the drummer for the popular pop band 1975.
