00:00 Lana Del Rey just took to social media to slam critics for assuming the star grew up
00:05 rich.
00:06 Pop star Lana Del Rey rose to fame in 2011 for her melancholic album Born to Die.
00:12 Rumors have been circulating online for years about the celebrity's family, most assuming
00:17 the star grew up incredibly wealthy.
00:19 A piece published by The Guardian in 2012 claimed, "Del Rey is in fact the daughter
00:24 of a millionaire father who has backed her career."
00:27 Now, in 2023, as the nepotism baby rumors resurfaced, Del Rey posted this video to social
00:34 media to deny the claims.
00:36 "Until I was 26 and made my own money, I was living in a hostel on 17th Street when
00:43 I played Saturday Night Live.
00:44 And how I played Saturday Night Live was because I had gotten a publishing deal in Germany,
00:49 Austria, Switzerland, the guest territories.
00:52 So it's just very challenging because I think had we had money, I would have had a
00:58 completely different experience and not fought so hard to be the singer, probably to my detriment
01:06 because I didn't want me or my family to struggle financially."
