Nepotism usually flows from parent to child, but not in the case of Lana Del Rey.
That’s because Del Rey’s dad, Rob Grant, is about to release his debut album, the 14-track Lost At Sea, and has already unveiled a few singles, including “Setting Sail On A Distant Horizon”.
Del Rey – whose real name is Lizzie Grant – is reportedly featured on two of the album’s tracks, while her frequent collaborator Jack Antonoff is one of the album’s producers.
As a result, Grant has been dubbed a “nepo daddy” — a term he embraces.
“The nepo daddy thing I love,” the 69-year-old told GQ, revealing he first encounter the term via Instagram comments.

“I’m happy to be the first nepo daddy,” he declared.
Not only has Grant leaned into the “nepo daddy” label, he’s already been monetizing it by launching his own branded merch.
“Nobody wants to give anyone any credit for doing anything. God forbid that you actually have talent. People don’t want to acknowledge that. They will find a way to undermine you and to really make you feel bad about yourself,” he explained
“So the nepo daddy thing, I love that,” he added. “Hell, I’ll sell you hats, T-shirts, canvas bags, you name it.”

nepo babies — the derogatory term for Hollywood offspring who magically wind up following in their celebrity parents’ footsteps.Now, meet the world’s first nepo daddy.As a former advertising copywriter, it’s possible that 69-year-old Rob Grant, piano man and father to Lana Del Rey, might have eventually come up with the term as a way to market himself and his debut album, “Lost at Sea.”But someone on social media beat him to the verbal punch. And he loved it.“I first saw it in my comments, and I thought, ‘Holy smokes, that’s a beautiful brand!’ ” Grant told The Post.“So I went out and registered the domain nepodaddy.com, and then I called the guys at Decca [Records, his label] and said, ‘We’ve got to do merch around this … I love kind of being the first nepo daddy out there.”Grant has his 37-year-old firstborn — whose alt-pop allure has led her to six Grammy nominations, including an Album of the Year nod for 2019’s “Norman F—king Rockwell!” — to thank for his new nepo-daddy notoriety.

Taylor Swift has shared new songs featuring Ice Spice and Lana Del Rey. Both appear on the deluxe edition of the pop star's 2022 album Midnights, which was released today (May 26).
Back when Taylor Swift announced that she collaborated with Lana Del Rey for a song on her Midnights album, fans were so excited to hear them on a track together.
Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Taylor Swift has lived up to her self-proclaimed “Mastermind” status with the Thursday night/Friday morning release of fresh versions of two “Midnights” songs. In one, which she spices up “Karma” with an all-new verse from arguably the hottest rapper of the moment, Ice Spice. In the other, bluntly subtitled “(Featuring More Lana Del Rey),” Swift all but cedes the aural spotlight to the guest artist who was formerly inaudible on the track, Lana Del Rey. Ice Spice makes a few interjections here and there in Swift’s verses in “Karma” — she adds an affirmative “Facts!” after Swift sings, “Karma takes all my friends to the summit” — and she also gets the first and last words in this remix (“Karma is that girl, like” and a concluding “Karma’s gonna hold you down”). Mostly, though, she’s afforded an all-new second verse, with lyrics including: “Karma is your checks by the bounce / Karma is the fire in your house / And she ’bout to pop up unannounced.”
