Why Did Fans Think Kim Kardashian Was Suing Lana Del Rey?

Rumors started in late March 2025 that Kim was suing the “Young and Beautiful” singer for $1 million for failing to label her 2024 Valentine’s Day Skims underwear campaign Instagram post as an “ad” or “paid partnership,” which allegedly landed her in trouble with the Federal Trade Commission.

Lana Del Rey Responded to the Kim Kardashian Lawsuit Claim

“No no, this isn’t happening. Not as far as either one of us know,” Lana wrote in the caption of “Let’s Get Into It” podcaster Sloan Hooks‘ Instagram post about the lawsuit on March 31, 2025.

The “Summertime Sadness” artist added, “I don’t know where this started, but if it does for some reason have to happen because of guidelines — then we will handle it. But never an end to a friendship.”

What Did Lana Del Rey Do for Kim Kardashian’s Skims Brand?

Lana shared a carousel of seven different photos showing her in various Skims apparel on January 18, 2024. They were part of the brand’s Valentine’s campaign and showed the New York City native posing in everything from a pale pink teddy to a plunging light blue bodysuit with sheer lace panels while sitting inside an oversized heart-shaped box.

The “West Coast” singer wrote in the caption, “Bad and Bougee,” and tagged Skims. However, she did not indicate that the professional photos were an advertisement or a paid partnership with Kim’s apparel company.

Fans Flooded Lana Del Rey’s Skims Post With Questions About Kim

Despite Lana sharing the lingerie post 14 months prior, fans lit up the comments with questions about what was going on with her and Kim.

“Protect our baby, don’t let Kim get to her,” one person wrote, while a second added, “Imagine being so rich that you still come after Lana over a small mistake with a hashtag. @kimkardashian is literally so embarrassing.”

“I love Kim and love Lana, but this breaks my heart,” a third follower shared, while a fourth wrote, “This is a #sponsored #ad. There. Done. Peace has been restored.”

Lana Del Rey’s Music Has Played a Significant Part in Kim Kardashian’s Life Milestones

When Kanye West proposed to Kim at San Francisco’s AT&T Park in 2013, he hired an orchestra to play Lana’s song “Young and Beautiful” when he popped the question.

Lana went on to perform the same song and several other of her hits at Kim and Ye’s pre-wedding party at France’s Palace of Versailles ahead of their May 24, 2014, Italian nuptials.

After nearly seven years of marriage, Kim filed for divorce from Ye on February 19, 2021. It was finalized in November 2022.
