It's fair to say that Lana del Rey, born Elizabeth Woolridge Grant, appropriated a lot of Latina culture, especially early in her career, with the stage name Del Rey, songs

Beyoncé, Ariana and Drake too

Beyonce and Drake don't actually bother me cause neither said they were latino or implied it. Ariana is the only one who was playing around with it even she would say she was Italian.

I think she's more guilty with the blackfishing and asianfishing.

Beyonce actually said she wished she had been born latina and was pushing all kinds of Spanish tracks; it was full-on fetishisation.

And when it didn't pan out, she made a shift towards her creole background, then Texas and, nowadays, the whole continent of Africa.

I don't mind when celebs start marketing to the latin markets. Compared to other artists she wasn't as insidious.

"And when it didn't pan out, she made a shift towards her creole background, then Texas and, nowadays, the whole continent of Africa."

loooool this is true though! She was looking for more markets!! and she's been dragged for this lol!

Having a spanish track, hardly qualifies as cultural appropriation tho.

Which is why I used the term fetishisation?

Weird. And here I thought that was just marketing. So what do we call the white Latinos in reggaeton and Latin hip hop? Is that fetishization?
