Are Lana Del Rey and Kim Kardashian going to face off in court? Over the past few days, rumors have surfaced that the reality star is suing the “Summertime Sadness” singer for a million dollars over Skims. The drama stems from Del Rey’s failure to adequately disclose a sponsored post for the shapewear brand on social media last year, damaging the credibility of Kardashian’s empire. Following the reports, Del Rey addressed the rumors on Instagram, revealing that anything could happen between the pair.
Lana Del Rey and Kim Kardashian’s Rumored Legal Mess
Over the weekend, a fan shared a video discussing the alleged drama between Lana Del Rey and Kim Kardashian on Instagram. Their post has since been viewed nearly 300K times. After it went viral, Del Rey noticed it and set the record straight about the rumors between her and Kardashian in the comments section. “No no , this isn’t happening. Not as far as either one of us know,” Del Rey said about the speculation that she’s being sued.
It seems she’s just as stumped about the rumors as much as fans. Del Rey explained she did not know where the talks about suing her came from. However, if Kardashian is forced to take legal action “because of guidelines,” then Del Rey understands, and they’ll “handle it” without any drama. The singer reassured everyone it wouldn’t change the way she views Kardashian. “Never an end to a friendship,” she wrote.
Fans were happy to hear Del Rey and Kardashian were still on good terms. “Thank you for clearing this up,” one person said. “I knew it was nonsense,” wrote another.
The Stars Go Way Back
The rumors of Kardashian suing Del Rey come over a year after the singer failed to disclose that her Skims post was an ad. In January 2024, she shared a series of photos of herself wearing the brand’s new Valentine’s Day collection. “Bad and Boujee @skims,” Del Rey captioned her post. Many fans noticed that she didn’t include the paid sponsorship tag or the #ad hashtag. Some feared this would cause Del Rey to get into legal trouble later. However, they never believed Kardashian would be the one suing her. After all, they’ve been close friends for years.
According to ABC News, Lana Del Rey and Kim Kardashian’s friendship could be traced back to 2014. The pop star performed at Kardashian’s pre-wedding celebration to Kanye West that year. She was rumored to have sang three songs for the couple. Although there were rumors that she was paid over two million dollars for the appearance, Del Rey denied them, saying she did it for free. She said she would “never” charge “a friend” for a performance, hinting she and Kardashian were close.
It seems nothing can come between the pair, even after all these years.
