'I have slept with a lot of guys in the industry': singer Lana Del Rey

She has caused a stir by recording a new song called F****d My Way Up To The Top.

And Lana Del Rey has admitted there is an element of truth to the title of the song which appears on her newly released album Ultraviolence.

However while she says she has had plenty of sexual relations with men working in the music industry, she denies it helped her career.

The singer, whose real name is Elizabeth Grant, told Complex: 'You know, I have slept with a lot of guys in the industry.

'But none of them helped me get my record deals. Which is annoying.'

Lana was previously engaged to Jock rocker Barrie-James O'Neill, and has also had rumoured flings with the likes of Marilyn Manson, Asap Rocky and even Guns 'n' Roses singer Axl Rose.

But while her aforementioned disappointment is understandable, her career has certainly not been hampered by her dalliances.

In fact her new album topped the charts in its first week of release back in June.
