Lana Del Rey fans are buzzing online about a potential "curse" placed on other female pop stars by the singer herself. The speculation stems from a now-deleted Instagram post where Del Rey expressed frustration with the music industry's emphasis on sexuality.

In the post, Del Rey contrasted her own style with singers who "have had number ones with songs about being sexy, wearing no clothes, f***ing, cheating etc." She then went on to name Doja Cat, Ariana Grande, Camila Cabello, Cardi B, Nicki Minaj, and Beyonce.
 


Fans are now drawing connections between the post and recent controversies surrounding the named singers. These include Doja Cat's backlash for wearing a shirt allegedly linked to a neo-Nazi, Ariana Grande's rumored cheating scandal, and Cardi B's split from Offset, Beyonce's rumoured ties to Diddy's part culture. Additionally, some fans are pointing to declining album sales for Cabello and Beyonce's haircare line as evidence of the curse's power.

The validity of the "curse" remains unsubstantiated. However, the online chatter highlights the pressures faced by female pop stars in the music industry.

While some fans find humor in the "curse" theory, others criticize Del Rey for her original post, suggesting it was unnecessary to name specific artists.
