Lana Del Rey fans are buzzing online about a supposed “curse” she may have cast on other female pop stars. This speculation emerged after a now-deleted Instagram post where Del Rey voiced her frustration with the music industry’s focus on s**uality.

In the post, Del Rey compared her artistic approach to that of singers who “have had number ones with songs about being s**y, wearing no clothes, f***ing, cheating etc.” She specifically mentioned Doja Cat, Ariana Grande, Camila Cabello, Cardi B, Nicki Minaj, and Beyoncé.

Fans have since linked this post to recent controversies involving these artists. These include backlash against Doja Cat for wearing a shirt allegedly tied to a neo-Nazi, Ariana Grande’s rumored cheating scandal, Cardi B’s split from Offset, and speculation about Beyoncé’s ties to Diddy’s party culture. Additionally, fans have pointed to declining album sales for Cabello and the underperformance of Beyoncé’s haircare line as further “evidence” of the curse.

While the idea of a “curse” remains unfounded, the online discussion reflects the intense scrutiny female pop stars face in the music industry.

Some fans find the theory amusing, while others criticize Del Rey’s original post, arguing it was unnecessary to call out specific artists.
