What Is Lana’s Prophecy?
In the year 2020, Lana Del Rey got a lot of attention for her now-deleted Instagram post titled “Question for the Culture,” in which she defended her music in response to those who said that her lyrics “glamorize abuse.” Lana called out seven female singers in the opening line of the post for having hit singles that, in her opinion, were about ‘being sexy, wearing no clothes and cheating’. Doja Cat, Ariana Grande, Camila Cabello, Cardi B, Kehlani, Nicki Minaj, and Beyoncé were mentioned on the list.
The post read, “I’m fed up with female writers and alt singers saying that I glamorize abuse when in reality I’m just a glamorous person,”
She continued, “Now that Doja Cat, Ariana, Camila, Cardi B, Kehlani, and Nicki Minaj and Beyonce have had number ones with songs about being sexy, wearing no clothes, fucking, cheating etc. — can I please go back to singing about being embodied, feeling beautiful by being in love even if the relationship is not perfect, or dancing for money — or whatever I want — without being crucified or saying that I’m glamorizing abuse??????”
However, there was significant criticism of the article since some people thought Lana was favoring misogynistic views and discriminating against women of color. People also called her out, saying she didn’t have to call out other artists just to prove her point.
But the shocking thing is this: three years later, as of now, all the women Lana mentioned in her song, have slowly started getting canceled, in the exact same order Lana mentioned them.

Doja Cat
It all began with Doja Cat getting criticized by her fans over dating J Cyrus, who was alleged to be sexually abusive to his Twitch community. Fans called Doja out, merely showing concern but Doja reacted violently by blocking her fans and being rude to them.
She then called out her fans, slandering them for calling themselves ‘kittenz’. This led to fans being even more upset at the artist and led to many fans cancelling her and calling her out for being rude to her fans to who she owes everything.
The whole incident led to her losing a lot of followers, to which Doja’s response was that she feels free,
