This thread will show every interaction Ethel Cain and Lana Del Rey has had in the past leading up to their feud. And thank you to colouringbooks on LB for setting up the timeline of this for me ā¤ļø

In 2015, Ethel Cain has listed Lana as a favorite artist of hers on an old Deviantart page

In 2017, Ethel Cain uploaded a cover of Born To Die to the Internet that she later tried to scrub. Also this year, she posted a cover of Mariners Apartment Complex.

In 2018, Ethel made this post on CuriousCat referencing Lana and later apologized for her controversial posts on this platform.

By 2020, Ethel seemingly switched on Lana and began her tyrant of shady posts and comments against her. Mostly when compared to her and her music.

Ethel made this Tweet against Lana before being deleted. (I don’t have the original screenshot)

On July 8th 2022, Lana posted a photo with her then boyfriend Jack Donoghue at a Chicago prison and Ethel Cain responded with a shady (soon deleted) post which Lana has referenced in the snippet of the song posted last night.

Also in 2022, Cain has vandalized her own Wikipedia page on numerous occasions specifically removing Lana from her wiki page. She was called out by her fans and the account stopped being active in 2023

Lana was **allegedly** made aware of this through Jack Donoghue who was friends with Ethel Cain. Lana reacted to this information by recording a diss track that we all know now as ā€˜All About Ethel’ This is a play on a film by a similar name called ā€˜All About Eve’

In 2023, Lana worked a shift at The Waffle House which is now speculated to be shade towards Ethel’s interview headline. Probably intended to make Ethel the second most famous girl at the waffle house… 😭 Lana directly mentions this headline in the snippet posted.

In 2025, Lana released a snippet of the song which is confirmed to be track 13 on her upcoming album. After posting the snippet on Instagram, Lana has blocked Ethel on Instagram.

Do you think they could work it out on the remix?

Also… this shouldn’t even have to be said, but don’t use their beef as an excuse to be transphobic - That will never be cute no matter how you wanna twist it

@honeymounz yk damn well what ur doing w this thread there isn't anything wrong with hayden not wanting to be compared to lana and her having had been a fan isn't a drag either

@cerysuv Im just posting her public comments on Lana, nothing wrong with not wanting to be compared to someone but it has always been met with hostility. It’s also just about public perception and fans have noticed her feelings towards Lana since pretty early on.

@honeymounz literally all this tells people is that ethel loved lana but grew tired of the constant comparisons to her? don’t see a single thing she did wrong tbh. she scrubbed her wikipedia page but a lot of artists do that. this ā€œfeudā€ is embarassing to be a thing in 2025.

@creativesoul00 Guessing you skipped over the part where Lana straight up said Ethel has been fat shaming and making fun of her online, talking shit about her to people she’s mutuals with, and inserting herself into her life

@honeymounz I’m sorry but Ethel is not an artist and will never be she’s full of gimmicks and I’m being generous using feminine pronouns because she looks like a twink in a wig

@honeymounz I’m glad Lana is defending herself against that man. ā€œEthelā€ doesn’t deserve a platform especially since the public recently found out he’s a perv and racist!

@honeymounz Ethel is still a petty gay man at his core

@honeymounz @grok who is Ethel Cain?

@honeymounz ethel stay in ur lane bitch

@honeymounz The fact that there is no proof of any fat shaming or edited pics of Lana…how can people blindly defend Lana in that aspect?

@honeymounz damn this is like nicki minaj vs cardi b again but for depressed people 😭😭

@honeymounz So basically this ethal is a weirdo

@honeymounz ethel = major khia no name flop lana = mother goddess leader star

@honeymounz I think they’re both wrong, but Lana making an entire song about her is kinda weird and she's married to a trump supporter too so Idk šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø
