Lana Del Rey and Lizzo fans are up in arms after it was reported that the two singers were feuding with each other.
The controversy began with a post on on social media in response to the presidential election – exchanged 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 it was all a fabrication.
Drop Pop’s original post included a screenshot of Lizzo’s alleged cruel comment, which read, “I’d like to see you back on the charts.”
Del Rey supposedly responded, “I’d love to see you run on a treadmill.”
Lana Del Rey and Lizzo fans are up in arms after it was reported that the two singers were feuding with each other. But the controversy seems to have arisen from a parody publication with false comments.
The controversy began with a post on years, they exchanged in the comments section.
But the Drop Pop account that posted the comments presents itself as a satirical take on popular entertainment news aggregation accounts, and the comments were made up for laughs.
Despite the account’s candor about news of parody posts, many users who weren’t already following the account only saw its post through retweets and algorithmic suggestions that left out that important context.
The publication, which gathered at least 20 million impressions, 380,000 likes and 22,000 forwards, according to Complex – has since been deleted after it was originally posted Wednesday night.
Fans remained glued to the made-up exchange after a follow-up post included a fake screenshot of Lizzo saying she hoped “that alligator ate your big ass,” an apparent reference to Lana’s new husband, Jeremy Dufrene, who performs alligator tours.
In the comical post, the fake Del Rey responded: “You could eat something big.”
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 reads. ‘@DropPopNet was previously described as a parody account in its bio.’
Sure enough, there was no site of combative comments between Lizzo and Lana in the TikTok comments section.
However, his fans found out the hard way after checking the comments for the sniper.
“I THOUGHT LIZZO’S COMMENT WAS REAL,” wrote one disappointed TikTok user.
“I guess we’re all here for the same reason,” another person added.
A follow-up post showed Lizzo mocking Lana Del Rey’s new husband, but a community note about X appeared after users realized it was all a fabrication.

His fans discovered that it was all made up the hard way after scouring the comments for the sniper. ‘IT’S FAKE, I’M SO gullible,’ one user admitted
One person even tried to take advantage of the situation by writing Lizzo’s fake comment themselves, possibly to briefly fool anyone who wasn’t paying attention.
However, the fight between Lana and Lizzo appears to be a complete fabrication, although neither woman has yet addressed the brief controversy.
“IT’S FAKE I’M SO gullible,” one user admitted, while another person claimed that they “knew it wasn’t real” from the beginning.
“I came here for nothing,” added one disappointed fan.
