Allen yesterday released the new video for the song “Sheezus” and, as she well knows, is sure to set the interwebs aflutter (see: this page) thanks to the non-stop name-checking of Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Lorde, Queen B and Rihanna (which, how dare she).
Allen’s namechecks are reminiscent of Kendrick Lamar’s infamous verse on “Control”, in which he calls out almost every rapper in the game (from Jay-Z to A$AP Rocky to Mac Miller). We’ll have to wait and see whether Allen’s provocations will garner the same number of responses from her pop star targets.
