According to stereogum.com, the alleged feud between Grimes and Poppy dates back to 2018, when Poppy allegedly accused Grimes of allegedly bullying her during the making of their song “Play Destroy.” Grimes allegedly responded by allegedly telling Poppy to “let it go” and it seems the metal and pop singer still has not, since she allegedly poked fun at Grimes during the first episode of her new Veeps series Improbably Poppy.

In the video, Poppy plays a fortune teller and gives a fortune to a passerby by telling him: “Grimes is going to ask you to be a surrogate to her child. Say yes. But don’t go to the appointment. If you let her sing anything from her major-label releases to you, it’s too late.”
In response to Poppy’s statement, Grimes responded by saying: “Poppy is talented and doesn’t need to lower herself to dredging up ancient drama to get people to listen to her music. I don’t understand these continued attempts to goad me into a public fight, all because I did not want to put out a song with her abusive boyfriend Titanic Sinclair (which they leaked anyway). I don’t claim any kind of moral authority. I understand how hard it is when the world is asking you to speak negatively about someone close to you who has done bad things.”
The singer adds: “I wish her the best and I hope one day she grows up and realizes that I’ve tried to be a girls girl here. I will not fight back, I won’t pursue legal action, I will not get into the details. This is an entirely one sided situation. I don’t see the point in attacking ur friend while they take personal and professional hits for you. Again, I don’t claim any moral authority. I respect the friendship we once had and I have empathy for the rough spot she was in when she started doing this. I hope one day she is able to see who actually cares about her and who is standing up for her.”
