The self-proclaimed "biggest midget in the game" - suppose it's better than her on the game counterpart - has taken a swipe at Lily Allen, saying that the 'Smile' singer has only made it to where she is 'cause of her dad.
Could this have anything, at all, to do with Lady Sovereign's Public Warning album selling about ten copies compared to Alright, Still's many thousands? Nah, course not.
We like them both, mind you, so DiS was disappointed when we read what Sov (pictured) had said:
"I'm not hating on her but someone like Lily Allen, just 'cause her dad's famous, doesn't have to work as hard as someone like me."
Oh come on, Sov - you wouldn't even battle a donut! And we know you'd have won an' t'ing: "my wordplay's nasty", that's what you said, and we believed you. But c'mon. Peace and love, Sov.
Allen has since commented: "In response to Miss Sovereign's comments, I've spoken to my dad and he says he'd be happy to adopt you if you think it will give you a leg up."
We'd adopt Lady Sov, y'know. Since an early Spring clean the DiS office has plenty of cupboard space. Or maybe we should put Allen up? Apparently she can't afford to live in London, according to last night's This Week.
Last night's this week?
Does that make today next Wednesday...
It was only a matter of time that their record companies and PR cooked this sort of decomposed 'riva
OH PLEASE NO ONE CARES, SERIOUSLY NO ONE CARES.
I care.
So you're wrong.
BATTLE JELLY DONUT!
she would've got utterly pwned. and she knows it.
I
dislike both of them as much as each other.
'suppose it's better than her on the game counterpart'
that made me laugh. quite a lot, actually.
I'd give this round to...
...Allen. Comeback was good.
seconded
i think i love her a little bit
Sov's got a point.
When you've got tedious cock dribblers like Scott Mills calling her 'Lady Chav' (oh, the hilarity) it just shows the uphill battle the mighty Sovster's had to face all her life.
It's her own fault.
She's so full of clichés.
Oh, right.
So what should a footy-loving, pirate radio-listening tomboy from a Wembley council estate act like in order to not be called a chav by an unfunny tosser?
Lilly Allen?
Right, so she should
call Bob Geldof a cunt, spit on Peaches Geldof's shoe, joke about taking gak, and then write a song about her ex-boyfriend being shit in bed and having a small penis.
Somehow I don't think that's gonna do the trick.
Maybe you can get away with that sort of 'ladylike' behaviour if you went to the same public school as the lead singer of The Kooks, but not if you grew up on the Chalkhill Estate and are, dare I say it, a bit common. Then you're just a chav.

glory 1 - delve 0
The Mighty Sovster
is the title of her next album!
that is a GENIUS
comeback from lil'
Pure Pwnage
Lily really is turning into my pop hero
with responses like that.
I still haven't got her album, I should probably.
Allen v. Sov Battle!
That would be fun. I'm guessing that Sov would win hands down but, who knows...
Thing is, Sov's right - but she's right about something unimportant. How hard an artist has had to struggle is inconsequential when set against how good their work is.
I much prefer Sov's stuff, but that's just one man's opinion...
Also, what was the context? Was she asked about Allen specifically, or the challenges she'd had to overcome - or was it said apropos of nothing?
Oh, and i was under the impression that Sov had sold lots of records to the emericans - Is that right? How do her sales actually compare to Allen?
Everybody all together now
WHO GIVES A FLYING FUCK!
More sloppy journalism
DiS says: "saying that the 'Smile' singer has only made it to where she is 'cause of her dad."
and here's the actual quote: "just 'cause her dad's famous, [she] doesn't have to work as hard as someone like me."
Needs less shit stirring exaggeration.
lily allen has an awesome wit
but what does sov care, anyway? does she not have the ear of jay-z these days? and jay-z is, like, thirty million times more famous than keith allen.
I like them both
They should tour together.
Bud-Z is behind all this?
I should have known. Humorless rap mogul too old for the game puts his vast marketing muscle behind humorless rap chick too young to be taken seriously.
gosh
I really don't like that lady sov.
Yeah. Right
Sov's all like "she don't work as hard as me" and Lilys all like "we'll adopt you if you want" and that but 'fing is, yeah. WHO GIVES A TOSS.
Just 'cause Lily's making the waves that she didn't. Lily's on the right end of the Chav thing. I don't think it ha to anything to do with her dad how popular she is. Sov needs a few better songs under her belt and stick with Jay-Z the yanks'll love her.
Both are
completely boring cunts. musically they're void. I don't no know girls like either of 'em tho; handy mind, them being young an' all. There's a generation of blank 12 year olds waiting to get writ on. cut, copy, paste.
They'll sell some ipods, eh?
lady sov
is perhaps the worst mc in the history of music.
Huge Crowds for Lady Sov
Doesn't she play to like, massive crowds of people in the States? I read somewhere that at one gig there were eight, nine, maybe even a dozen people at one of her gigs. Rumour has it they had to get two extra chairs from out in the foyer.
Listening to her albums is a bit like getting inside a reverse Tardis. Everything looks big from the outside...
