Lily hits back at bloggers calling her racist. She told Roling Stone;

I wrote that after I put out the video for Hard Out Here and everyone said I was racist. I was really alarmed by that reaction. I stand by that video, and I know what my intention was. A lot of that negative stuff came from females and the feminist blogger scene. What really pissed me off was the misogynistic, hipster, male bloggers that went after me in a completely different way.’
