Lana Del Rey and Lizzo fans play detective after viral post claims they’re feuding
Lana Del Rey and Lizzo’s fans were left confused after the two singers reportedly had a fight with each other.
The controversy started with a post on on the presidential election – traded in the comments section.
But the controversy took a surprising turn when fans rushed to the post to find out more about the surprising feud, only to discover it was all a fabrication.
The original Drop Pop post included a screenshot of Lizzo’s allegedly mean comment, which read: “I’d like to see you back on the charts.”
Del Rey reportedly replied, “I’d like to see you run on 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 made up for laughs.
Despite the account’s openness about post-parody news, many users who weren’t already following the account only saw the post through retweets and algorithm suggestions that left out that important context.
The post, which racked up 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 were left hanging on 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 ass,” an apparent reference to Lana’s new husband Jeremy Dufrene, who organizes alligator tours.
In the comic post, fake Del Rey replied, “You know what it’s like to eat Biggie.”
However, the continued attention may have pushed the satirical post over the edge, as it received a community note from X users.

And sure enough, there was no site with 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 looking for the sniping.
“I THOUGHT THE LIZZO COMMENT WAS REAL,” one disappointed TikTok user wrote.
“We’re all here for the same reason, I guess,” another person added.

However, Lana and Lizzo’s fight appears to be a complete fabrication, although neither woman has addressed the short-lived controversy yet.
“It’s fake, I’m so gullible,” one user admitted, while another person claimed he “always knew it wasn’t real.”
