		</div><p>Lana Del Rey has defended her controversial comments on double standards in the music industry following a backlash and allegations of racism.</p>
<p>The singer posted a lengthy message to Instagram denying her lyrics are anti-feminist or glamorise abuse and named-checked other female stars, including Beyonce, Doja Cat, Cardi B, Camila Cabello and Nicki Minaj.</p>
<p>Del Rey said now they have had “<i>number ones with songs about being sexy, wearing no clothes, f***ing, cheating etc</i>” she wanted to sing freely “<i>without being crucified</i>”.</p>
<p>She wrote: <i>“I think it’s pathetic that my minor lyrical exploration detailing my sometimes submissive or passive roles in my relationships has often made people say I’ve set women back hundreds of years.”</i></p>
<p>However, fans criticised Del Rey for mentioning women of colour, with some accusing her of being racist.</p>
<p>Writing on Instagram, she has now denied the allegation of racism.</p>
<p>She said: “<i>Bro. This is sad to make it about a WOC (women of colour) issue when I’m talking about my favourite singers. I could’ve literally said anyone but I picked my favourite f***ing people.</i></p>
<p><i>“And this is the problem with society today, not everything is about whatever you want it to be. It’s exactly the point of my post – there are certain women that culture doesn’t want to have a voice it may not have to do with race I don’t know what it has to do with.</i></p>
<p><i>“I don’t care anymore but don’t ever ever ever ever bro- call me racist because that is bullshit.”</i></p>
<p>Del Rey – who said she is “<i>not not a feminist</i>” – also insisted that when she mentioned “women who look like me,” she was not referring to race.</p>
<p>She said: <i>“And my last and final note on everything—when I said people who look like me—I meant the people who don’t look strong or necessarily smart, or like they’re in control etc. it’s about advocating for a more delicate personality, not for white woman.”</i></p>
<p>And in reference to the popular Karen meme, generally used to make fun of white women with a perceived sense of entitlement, Del Rey added: <i>“Thanks for the Karen comments tho. V helpful.”</i></p>
<p>Rey, 34, also announced two new books of poetry as well as a new album, set for release on September 5.</p>
<p>It will be the follow up to her critically acclaimed 2019 effort, Norman F***ing Rockwell!</p>
