Grimes on rehashing beef with Poppy: "I’ve tried to be a girls girl here. I will not fight back"
The pair collaborated on the 2018 track, "Play Destroy", which featured on Poppy's second studio album, Am I a Girl?. Following its release, Poppy accused Grimes of bullying her, an accusation of which Grimes brushed off.
In the first episode of Poppy's new show on Veeps, Improbably Poppy, she made fun of Grimes saying: “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.”
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…

Grimes has now maturely responded to this via X, formerly known as Twitter, making a point that "Poppy is talented and doesn’t need to lower herself to dredging up ancient drama to get people to listen to her music."
"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," she continued. "I don’t see the point in attacking ur friend while they take personal and professional hits for you."
