It’s not a secret that Lana Del Rey‘s career has been riddled with a scandal or two. Still, the gorgeous singer is beloved by millions of fans around the world.

In fact, her fans are so obsessed with her that they’ve been begging her to go on tour via social media shoutouts for the last three or four years.

One of the issues that got Lana caught in hot water was her choice to wear a Native American headdress in her music video for the song “Ride” in 2012.

Those headdresses are meant to be reserved for people in leadership who earn each individual feather. It’s meant to stay within the Native American culture, and not meant to be worn as a costume. Lana upset many people with that music video scene, but here’s what she’s done since then to apologize.

Lana Del Rey paid reparations to Native Americans in 2019

According to the LA Times, Lana promised half her profits from her 2019 spoken-word album to Native American organizations.

Poetry and lyricism have always been heavily intertwined for Lana who has a magically eloquent way with her words.

She opened up about the spoken-word album at the time on Instagram saying, “My new book, ‘Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass,’ is taking a lot longer to hand-bind than I thought, and I just wanted to let you know that I’m going to put up a spoken-word album, if you can call it that.

The singer continued, “I knew I wanted the album to be around $1 because I just loved the idea that thoughts are meant to be shared and that they were priceless in some way.”

Then she directly spoke about Native Americans saying, “There was a second part that I had been thinking of before releasing it, which was that I wanted half of what the spoken-word album was going for to benefit Native American organizations around the country, whether it was for preserving their rights or trying to help keep their land intact.”

Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass landed on the New York Times Bestseller list, which means Native American organizations certainly received a good amount of help in the form of donations from Lana.
