Lady Sov Starts Beef With Corinne 'Boring' Rae
- Posted on Feb 20th 2007 5:05PM by Gaylord Fields
U.K. rapper Lady Sovereign let loose the rapier-sharp wordplay that garnered her that Def Jam contract when she called fellow countrywoman Corinne Bailey Rae "Corinne 'Boring' Rae" in a face-to-face meeting. In an interview that ran in the London tabloid The Daily Mirror, the pocket-size hip-hopper said she confronted the Grammy-nominated R&B singer-songwriter backstage at the taping of a British TV show. "I told her she was boring and that she should be called Corinne 'Boring' Rae," Sov crowed.
Lady Sovereign's droll assessment comes days after Brit vocalist Lily Allen used the selfsame b-word to describe Bailey Rae. But before you get the idea that sisterhood is powerful, later in the interview Sov also cut Allen to the quick, spitting out, "Just because her dad [actor Keith Allen] is famous, she doesn't have to work as hard as me."
Ladies, it's all fun and games until someone pops a crumpet in someone else's arse.

Almost everyone has already stated that, so shut your traps with that line. Lady Sov can do what she wants, and start fights with anyone as long as she can handle it. And too F***ing bad if you don`t like her. Here`s some advice for that: DON`T LISTEN!! hmmm? sounds easy? Well than do it! Jesus People, almost every comment I see, It somewhere has the words "I hate lady sov" or something like that, blah blah blah. STFU WITH THAT LINE! Too bad if you don`t like her! She won`t stop making music just people of some people saying that they hate her =|

Plain and simple. Her songs are like lulabys. Besides, everyone know that "sweet" little Lily Allen talks about artists all the time. If Lady SOV has something to say about her, she shouldn't go around bitching about it. And that thing she on Best Week Ever was not cute. I hear she's actually like that, especially when she's drunk

I doubt they'll be played on the radio in 6 months time and no one will remeber them at all in a year. I think Corinne has some staying power. Great passionate voice and some seriousness to her songs. After a bit of a dry spell, I'm glad to see Brits putting out some seriously good music again and cracking the US market. Corinne, Amy Winehouse, Razorlight, James Morrison-- they all deserve it. As for Lady Sovereign, I'm glad she's making a buck, but perhaps, even if you don't like another artist, it's best to keep your mouth shut.

P.S
I was just becoming a fan of Lilly Allen but after hearing her comment on Corinne, I think I wont
noone said Rae sucks, they just said she was a snoozer...... and Im inclined to agree, damn that girl puts me to sleep.
March 10 2007 at 12:21 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyLady Sovereign is only seeking attention. Lilly and Corinne have much more talent. Anyone could rap, it doesn't take any musical talent.
March 04 2007 at 6:49 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyI don't think Corinne or Lily should care about what Lady Sov. says because she is obviously seeking attention. I think Corinne is amazing and original (not boring) and sounds sooo much better than Lady Sov.'s dumb song.
