Lana Del Rey speaks out after photoshopped TikTok comments between herself and Lizzo go viral
Lana Del Rey has finally spoken out after the photoshopped TikTok comments between herself and Lizzo went viral.
Unless you've been living under a rock for the past few days, you'll know all about the bizarre alleged exchange between the two music artists.
A screenshot began circulating across social media of Lizzo, 36, and the 39-year-old 'Summertime Sadness' star which sparked quite the frenzy online.

Now, the photoshopped screenshot saw 'Lizzo' writing 'I'd like to see you back on the charts' while 'Lana' shot back 'I would love to see you run a treadmill'.
Obviously, this exchange is clearly fake and is the work of online trolls looking to pit the two stars against one another while cruelly body-shaming the 'Truth Hurts' rapper, but it didn't stop the internet sharing their shock over it.
Assuming it was real, one X user wrote: "I can’t tell if this is just them being funny back-and-forth or if they’re actually angry with each other."
"Lana vs Lizzo feels like a Netflix drama we didn’t ask for but can’t stop watching," joked another.
And a third added: "Wait this is so funny yesssss I love pop girls fighting."
The 'Blue Jeans' singer has since taken to Instagram to put an end to the speculation once and for all - confirming that she doesn't even have an official TikTok account.
Commenting on a screenshot of the photoshopped exchange, she posted three consecutive separate comments.
They read: "I don’t think I have an official TikTok other than the grants one sooooo.
"Or a Twitter.
"Very random."
Needless to say, some of the pair's less gullible fans found the entire thing beyond odd, with one writing: "People actually believed that was real?"
A second pointed out: "Celebs will always have to deal with this."
"Seems like some folks are too busy fabricating drama instead of living their own lives," slammed a third. "Talk about a creative waste of time!"
A fourth echoed: "I knew it was a parody."
And a final X user added: "Fake. I knew it."
Lizzo has previously shared with fans about her weight loss journey posting on TikTok: "I overate yesterday and I'm feeling really bad about it."
The 'About Damn Time' hit-maker then confessed exactly how she handles the situation when feelings like that arise.
"I'm trying to remind myself that my body needed that nourishment and if my body deserves comfort then my brain deserves comfort too," she continued.
Lizzo captioned the short clip: "If you’re going through this ur not alone."
Tyla has reached out to both Lana Del Rey and Lizzo's representatives for comment.
