Lana Del Rey has dismissed reports that she pocketed a cool $2.8million for her three-song performance at Kanye West's wedding to Kim Kardashian, revealing she appeared for free.
The star claims that West is a 'friend' and says that she would never charge a friend for such a performance. Opera singer Andrea Bocelli also performed at the event, but his salary and friendship with Kanye and Kim is unknown.
"I would never let a friend pay me to sing at a wedding," says Del Rey in a statement to TMZ, when questioned about her appearance at a pre-wedding party held at the Palace of Versailles, just outside of Paris. It was previous reported that she was paid close to £3m for her performance.
Del Rey is currently gearing up to release her long awaited new album, Ultraviolence, which will hit stores on 16 June, 2014. The album has been produced by Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys, and along with early leaked track 'Black Beauty', the singer has also revealed single 'West Coast', title track 'Ultraviolence' and more recently, 'Shade Of Cool' and 'Brooklyn Baby'.
