Lana Del Rey clarified her recent comments on Donald Trump, saying that they were interpreted “out of context” by some publications.
The musician gave his opinion on the role of the outgoing president in the invasion of the Capitol last week, explaining that she did not think he knew he was inciting a riot.
“He has delusions of grandeur,” she told Annie Mac of BBC Radio 1 yesterday (11 January). “I think he is not well.”
Now, Del Rey has clarified his comments, which were widely publicized, on Twitter. “Just to take a moment to say that what I was describing w the bbc is that Trump is so significantly hurt that he may not know what he was doing due to his significant lack of empathy and the broader problem is the issue of sociopathy and narcissism in America, ”she said.

“I will repeat that I do not like the larger magazines to take my well-intentioned comments and, believe it or not, liberals out of context. In fact, it’s what I sing about quite often. That’s what I was condemned for saying. You can listen to the entire interview. “

In the BBC interview, the star called Trump “a reflection of the biggest problem in our world, which is not climate change, but sociopathy and narcissism”. “It will kill the world,” she added. “It is not capitalism, it is narcissism.”
She shared her thoughts on the president during the debut of her new single ‘Chemtrails Over The Country Club’. The song is the title track of his next album, which has now been confirmed to arrive on March 16.
The album was supposed to be released initially around the one-year anniversary of her last album, ‘Norman Fucking Rockwell!’, But it was postponed because she felt it was not finished and again due to delays in making the vinyl release.
