Lorde Disses Beyonce: I Don’t Need an Alter-Ego to be Confident!

Lorde is one of our favorite up-and-coming pop stars, but it seems like sudden fame is beginning to go to the 17-year-old singer’s head. During a recent interview with Stylist magazine, Lorde made a comment that some have taken as a shot at living legend and noted fight spectator Beyonce.  “Having been on the road and performing for the better part of a year, it’s easier for me to not have to step into some alter-ego or split personality,” said Lorde. “I don’t feel like when I walk on stage I have to be woken up. I’m confident I’m there the whole time.” The comment has been interpreted as a subtle diss because Beyonce famously does rely on an alter ego named Sasha Fierce when she performs on stage.  Ms. Fierce was apparently not on hand during the now-infamous Jay Z-Solange Knowles fight , during which Queen Bey mostly just stood around looking bored. Beyonce has not responded to Lorde’s alleged insult, and it’s unlikely that she ever will. (She’s kinda got her own problems these days.) But even if the ill will on Lorde’s part is entirely imagined, this possible beef is still more interesting than the feud between Lorde and Lana Del Rey’s dad. We don’t know what that was.

Ex-Infinity Ward Leaders To Discuss Their "Creative Future" Soon

What’s next for Jason West and Vince Zampella, the former heads of Infinity Ward? We may have the answer soon. The duo’s lawyer released a statement to the LA Times that promises an “announcement very soon” that directly addresses the “creative future” of both developers. The statement pushes back at Activision’s lawsuit and paints Zampella and West in a positive light during the now-past negotiating phase with their former publisher. “Activision itself proposed spinning off Infinity Ward when, last year, it sought to renegotiate Jason and Vince’s contract,” reads the statement, “and induce them to forego developing a new game in favor of doing another Modern Warfare sequel. Jason and Vince had hired the Creative Artists Agency to advise them in their negotiations with Activision, and not to breach their contract.” Activision alleges West and Zampella were conversing with the company’s “closest competitor,” widely believed to be Electronic Arts. Whether the upcoming announcement is connected to EA is anybody’s guess, but it wouldn’t be the first time Activision and EA went head-to-head.
