Another story from twigs, posted the same day, showed a screenshot of an iMessage conversation with Irish-Chilean electronic producer Salvador Navarrete (aka Sega Bodega). Naverette had sent twigs a screengrab of comments on a tweet about the situation — one dismissive (“Don’t act like u were ever gonna release it”) and one lewd (“PLEASE let me suck your [REDACTED]“). “I hate them so much,” Naverette wrote. twigs’ IG story adds another layer of text over the iMessage text box: “back to the drawing board.”

Since releasing CAPRISONGS in January 2022 — The FADER’s 46th favorite album of the year — FKA twigs has dropped a number of music videos, as well as several new singles. In 2023, she’s connected her music and modeling careers, teasing new songs in a March Calvin Klein commercial and during a Valentino show at Paris Fashion Week earlier this month.
