In the latest episode of Ariel Pink running his mouth while on the promo run for his new album Pom Pom (out November 17 on 4AD), he has called Grimes “stupid and retarded” in an interview with The Guardian.
Grimes had called out Pink’s “delusional misogyny” on Twitter after Pink made some unflattering comments to Faster Louder about Madonna, specifically that she had been on a “downward slide” since her first album and that he had been asked to help write songs for her new record.
Pink did not take to kindly to this—read an excerpt from his interview with The Guardian, below. Read the whole interview here.
I ask about his latest misadventure, in which he revealed he had been invited to write potential material for Madonna’s new album. His assessment of her “downward slide” was jumped on by Grimes, who blasted his “delusional misogyny” on Twitter. “What an amazing promotional campaign this is,” he chuckles. “I was only repeating what Interscope told me about why they needed me. They’re not my opinions. It’s clickbait journalism. The media lies to us all the time, and we always believe the media. Then Grimes – who’s completely stupid and retarded to believe any of it – jumps in and has her two cents. I’m not a misogynist. Maybe she’s angry that I’m the male version of her, who was at 4AD before her.”
