Lana Del Rey<\/strong> and Ethel Cain<\/strong>\u2019s simmering tensions have boiled over into music, and the lyrics are making fans questions if there is drama between the two. On Wednesday, August 13, Del Rey, 40, posted a clip on Instagram of her upcoming track\u00a0\u201cAll About Ethel\u201d<\/strong> from her 10th album, opening with a line that seems to take direct aim at the younger singer: \u201cEthel Cain hated my Instagram post \/ Think it\u2019s cute reenacting my Chicago pose.\u201d<\/p>\n The reference appears to point to a viral 2022 photo of Del Rey posing with then-boyfriend Jack Donoghue<\/strong> outside Chicago\u2019s Cook County Jail. Cain had previously shared, and later deleted, a nearly identical shot from 2021 with Donoghue.<\/p>\n Del Rey doubles down later in the track, singing: \u201cThe most famous girl at the Waffle House \/ I don\u2019t regret it \/ The most famous girl at the Waffle House.\u201d The lyric echoes a May 11, 2022, New York Times profile of Cain titled \u201cThe Most Famous Girl at the Waffle House.\u201d<\/p>\n In a twist of irony, Del Rey herself briefly worked at a Waffle House in Alabama in 2023, an appearance she later described as unplanned after staff handed her a T-shirt.<\/p>\n Shortly after the song snippet went live, Cain posted to her Instagram Story: \u201cUpdate: Lana Del Rey has blocked Ethel Cain on Instagram.\u201dDel Rey quickly fired back in her own post, saying she was \u201cdeeply disturbed\u201d by Cain\u2019s behavior and alleging that the singer had made \u201cconstant comments about my weight\u201d and had been \u201cinserting herself into my personal life.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI didn\u2019t know who Ethel was until a few years ago, when someone brought to my attention the disturbing and graphic side-by-side images she would often put up of me next to unflattering creatures and cartoon characters, making constant comments about my weight. I was confused at what she was getting at,\u201d Del Rey wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThen, when I heard what she was saying behind closed doors from mutual friends and started inserting herself into my personal life, I was definitely disturbed.\u201d<\/p>\n On X (formerly Twitter), fans have been resurfacing old posts showing how Ethel Cain\u2019s public comments about Lana Del Rey have changed over the years. Early on, Cain often praised Del Rey\u2019s music and even covered her songs, but by 2020, her tone appeared to shift. That year, she began posting and commenting in ways fans interpreted as shady, particularly when comparing herself or her work to Del Rey\u2019s, sparking speculation about a brewing rivalry long before the latest lyrical drama.<\/p>\n \u200bEthel Cain<\/strong>, 27, is the stage name of singer-songwriter Hayden Anhed\u00f6nia<\/strong>, an American artist known for her cinematic, gothic Americana sound. Rising from Florida\u2019s DIY music scene, she gained critical acclaim with her 2022 debut album Preacher\u2019s Daughter<\/em>, a haunting concept record that blends Southern Gothic<\/em> storytelling with themes of religion, identity, and trauma.\u00a0<\/p>\n Despite the tension, Cain has previously credited Del Rey as a major influence on her music career and has covered her songs, including \u201cBorn to Die.\u201d She has yet to respond to the latest allegations.<\/p>\n Ethel Cain hated my Instagram post The\u205fmost famous girl at the Waffle House My best friend’s grandfather invented the design By the way, Jack said don’t call him \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.hola.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Lana Del Rey and Ethel Cain\u2019s simmering tensions have boiled over into music, and the lyrics are making fans questions if there is drama between the two.

\u00a9 Rick Kern<\/span><\/div>Excerpt from the Lyrics of ‘All About Ethel’ by Lana del Rey<\/h3>\n
Thinks it’s cute reenactin’ my Chicago poseHard to roll in slow motion
Hard to say no to cau-caution
Hard to stop when it’s like an ocean

I don’t regret it
The most famous girl at the Waffle House<\/em><\/p>\n
How could I be afraid to hide the shine?
It follows me wherever I go
I’m as famous at a show<\/em>
As I am on the Florida-Alabama Line<\/em><\/p>\n
And take the other Jack’s name out your phone<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
