Nicki Minaj has weighed in on the rising tension between Lana Del Rey and Ethel Cain — and she’s siding with Lana’s pen.
After Lana teased a diss track that name-drops Ethel Cain, fresh off her new album Willoughby Tucker, I’ll Always Love You, the clip quickly caught fire online. Nicki was among those who couldn’t resist reacting.
“Ethel Cain hated my post,” Nicki sang on stream, mimicking the track’s opening line. “Lemme tell you something, that one song just made me say, ‘Oh no, I am going into Lana’s discography and I am listening to every single song… I’m not kidding, what it did to me… It puts me back in a different time.'”
She kept looping the line with a smile before praising Lana’s delivery: “Lana can say anything and it sounds so dope. I’ve wanted to say [Ethel Cain hated my Instagram post] since the moment I heard it. I don’t know what they put in that song.”

Lana Del Rey later clarified why she decided to take aim at Ethel Cain, leaving a detailed comment on a Pop Base Instagram post.
“I didn’t 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,” she explained, according to Billboard. “Then 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.”
