If anyone is reading () this would make a rad t-shirt design, especially if it was textless or if "speaks" was replaced with "Del Rey" -

Not @Elle promoting this event singlehandedly because the sis is too busy underlining passages in negative articles for her ig stories whilst sipping Cha Cha Matcha- 140 replies

Some of her friends did seemingly ditch her, though. Marina. Twigs. Ariana. Kehlani. I'm not commenting on her character but there's no denying sis has made some very ignorant comments over the past year. The way each individual friend responded to it isn't really a good gauge because there are so many unknowns. Anyway, I'm glad she deleted the story because this should be a happy time for her and she shouldn't be focussing on stuff like that.

Many of the people criticising her are POC. We, as white people, don't get to dismiss their feelings or her remarks on the basis of her good intentions.

Hard disagree, sorry. She's the one who brought up that half her friends on the cover are WOC; no one else. Nobody was talking about it at ALL and she was literally like, "look! Half of my friends on the cover are WOC and I also dated rappers." If that's not tokenisation then idk what is. Of course people felt that she was tokenising after those statements, but nobody said that before because nobody was assuming that. As for her friends being phony - that applies to ALL of her friends regardless of race. It's been discussed repeatedly here. Clearly, none of them are willing to call her out.

The author of that Harper's article is on Twitter talking smack I feel like this isn't going to end well
-
Honestly the fact that she very likely reads here rings alarm bells - it's not surprising and I don't blame her for being curious but I don't think it's very healthy for her. Hopefully she can make this album and get it out of her system and then give zero fucks

A friend sent me a ss of something on Reddit (?) and it was basically saying that she probably thought she'd be able to use some disparaging article about COCC, but all of the COCC reviews and articles are good, so she dredged up an old article from January. So the theory is that this was all planned, just like she seemingly planned her response to the album cover non-comments.
-
My problem with it is that she seems to have taken it out of context. I'm not saying that she's never received unfair criticism, but the part she underlined was not what Harper's was saying. The entire sentence is, "nobody had significantly criticised Lala for "including" people of colour in her upcoming album" and that's true. Very few people (if any) were criticising her album cover because it lacked POC; they were criticising it for being an IG-esque picture of her and her friends. Yes, there probably were some leftover comments from QftC but I didn't see anyone saying "Oh my. There are no POC on this album cover!" anywhere when she posted the album cover (if anyone else did, please quote me). And the comment about Capital (sic) Hill was also really bizarre, because nobody was saying anything about that, either. So basically, she took the general "she's racist/MAGA/trump supporter" comments directed at her after QftC and then acted like people were applying that to her album and its cover, when that simply wasn't the case. SHE made that association, no one else. And before anyone's all oH bUt sHe'S dEfeNsIvE bEcAuSe It'S aLl sO uNfAir, taking article statements out of context like she did today is not the way to solve the problem.

Tbh I'm salty that she isn't giving COCC room to breathe and now I know she's definitely not doing mv's for DBJAG or TJF -

Tbh I'm not loving that title because I think it's too close to Madonna's Hard Candy so it doesn't seem very original to me. But none of this is even real so wevs -
