After years of tension, singer talks about reconciliation with Charli XCX and celebrates Brat’s success with words of support and admiration
The old tension between Marina Diamandis and Charli XCX Finally, it seems to be part of the past. In a new interview, Marina – which recently released the album Princess of Power – spoke openly about the admiration he feels for the work of Charli and stated that all the success of Brat It is more than deserved.
“It was very beautiful to see people’s reaction,” she told Rolling Stoneremembering the message he sent to his colleague last year, after hearing the track “Girl, so confusing”.
That song thrilled me deeply. I love what she does, and it’s inspiring to see what she created with Brat. She deserves it all.
The history between the two artists has been coming since the Tumblr times, in 2010, when Marina launched Electra Heart and Charli It started to emerge with True Romance. The two even toured together, but a photo shoot made by Charli In 2015 ended up generating friction. Marina accused the colleague of copying the aesthetics of her single “Immortal”which also brought colorful fruits in neon tones. “Imagetics is artistic property. Respect fellow artists,” he wrote on the networks.
Imagery is Artistic Property. Please respect your fellow artists.

Charli He responded in an acidic tone: “Sometimes you do a rehearsal in front of a plant, sometimes in black and white, sometimes uses purple shadow. It happens.”
Malaise persisted for years, and in 2023, Charli revealed that they still did not follow each other in their private account in the Instagram. But he also stated that there were no more resentment: “Our paths just no longer intersect.”
Now, with Brat having become a global phenomenon, yielding three Grammyssold out and an entire summer dedicated to the album, Marina It shows to have left the hurts behind. And more than that, it seems genuinely proud of the colleague.
It is worth remembering that, before the fight, the two even collaborated in the track “Just Deserts”launched independently in 2013 and still available on Youtube.
