Users were not happy that Del Rey only mentioned “women of color.”

One user in particular notice she added Ariana Grande just to avoid the obivious.

Later, Del Rey mention when discussing race, when addressing that someone wants to talk to her about it, her response: “that’s your opinion but that’s not what I’m saying.”

She wasn’t done, adding that she didn’t “care anymore” and does not want to be called “bro.”

One user wasn’t buying it:
