Lana Del Rey’s father Rob Grant has said that he is “happy to be the first nepo daddy” as he prepares to release his debut album.As announced in February, Grant, 69, is due to drop the 14-track ‘Lost At Sea’ on June 9 via Decca Records. You can pre-order/pre-save it here.He’s already previewed the project with the singles ‘Setting Sail On A Distant Horizon’, ‘Poetry Of Wind And Waves’, ‘The Mermaids Lullaby’ and ‘Deep Ocean Swells’.Del Rey – real name Lizzie Grant – will feature on the record’s title track and another song called ‘Hollywood Bowl’.
Her frequent collaborator Jack Antonoff is credited as one of the album’s producers.During a new interview with GQ, Rob Grant – who is said to have had “no kind of formal musical training”, per an official blurb – responded to the online reaction to his new venture.“The nepo daddy thing I love,” he told the publication. According to the article, Grant first encountered the concept – a play on the ‘nepo baby’ label – within his Instagram comments.“I’m happy to be the first nepo daddy,” he continued.Del Rey then claimed that Mitch Winehouse – father of the late Amy Winehouse – was actually the first ‘nepo daddy’, having tried to make it as a jazz artist following Amy’s tragic death.Grant said that “they didn’t have nepo babies” back then.
“It’s only because of the whole nepo baby thing. Who wrote that story?” he asked, seemingly referring to the 2022 Vulture article that sparked the debate.Del Rey replied: “Someone without a brain.
It’s just another way to rile simple folks up.”Grant, who has launched his own ‘nepo daddy’-branded merch, said: “Nobody wants to give anyone any credit for doing anything. God forbid that you actually have talent.
Lana Del Rey is officially through with social media.
nepo babies — the derogatory term for Hollywood offspring who magically wind up following in their celebrity parents’ footsteps.Now, meet the world’s first nepo daddy.As a former advertising copywriter, it’s possible that 69-year-old Rob Grant, piano man and father to Lana Del Rey, might have eventually come up with the term as a way to market himself and his debut album, “Lost at Sea.”But someone on social media beat him to the verbal punch. And he loved it.“I first saw it in my comments, and I thought, ‘Holy smokes, that’s a beautiful brand!’ ” Grant told The Post.“So I went out and registered the domain nepodaddy.com, and then I called the guys at Decca [Records, his label] and said, ‘We’ve got to do merch around this … I love kind of being the first nepo daddy out there.”Grant has his 37-year-old firstborn — whose alt-pop allure has led her to six Grammy nominations, including an Album of the Year nod for 2019’s “Norman F—king Rockwell!” — to thank for his new nepo-daddy notoriety.
For the sixth single from his debut studio album, pianist and soundscape composer Rob Grant enlists star-powered aid from his daughter, Lana Del Rey, and super-producer Jack Antonoff.

NOVEMBER 11th and 12th: https://t.co/E8a5h3ROLJ pic.twitter.com/TCPVxgabRC The festival has been on hiatus since 2019, a decision that came as a result of the pandemic — and the increase of festivals post-pandemic — along with the rapper’s hectic touring schedule. The event included performances from Solange, YG, FKA twigs, Juice WRLD, Brockhampton, H.E.R., Daniel Caesar, and surprise guest Drake — who was booed offstage by a crowd that was expecting Frank Ocean.

Back when Taylor Swift announced that she collaborated with Lana Del Rey for a song on her Midnights album, fans were so excited to hear them on a track together.
Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Taylor Swift has lived up to her self-proclaimed “Mastermind” status with the Thursday night/Friday morning release of fresh versions of two “Midnights” songs. In one, which she spices up “Karma” with an all-new verse from arguably the hottest rapper of the moment, Ice Spice. In the other, bluntly subtitled “(Featuring More Lana Del Rey),” Swift all but cedes the aural spotlight to the guest artist who was formerly inaudible on the track, Lana Del Rey. Ice Spice makes a few interjections here and there in Swift’s verses in “Karma” — she adds an affirmative “Facts!” after Swift sings, “Karma takes all my friends to the summit” — and she also gets the first and last words in this remix (“Karma is that girl, like” and a concluding “Karma’s gonna hold you down”). Mostly, though, she’s afforded an all-new second verse, with lyrics including: “Karma is your checks by the bounce / Karma is the fire in your house / And she ’bout to pop up unannounced.”
Taylor Swift said 'meet you at midnight'...and she means it.
Nepotism usually flows from parent to child, but not in the case of Lana Del Rey.
The vault opens again. Taylor Swift is releasing a deluxe version of Midnights that includes more collaborations and a brand new song.
Swifties everywhere have another reason to rejoice.
