Corinne Bailey Rae has accused Lily Allen of starting a 'campaign' against her, contributing to her reputation as 'boring' during the early stages of her career. The tensions date back to the 2007 Brit Awards, where both singers were nominated for Best Female Solo Artist. In a 2007 interview, Allen criticized Rae's music as 'boring,' which Rae claims influenced her public image. Rae, who gained fame with her 2006 hit 'Put Your Records On,' said she chose not to engage in a public feud, noting that the approval of artists like Stevie Wonder mattered more to her. Rae also mentioned that her reputation shifted following the death of her husband, which drew significant media interest. Social media users have recently criticized Allen following Rae's revelations.
