Thread was locked for lack of a source, the source is that you can google her name: Mitsuki Laycock, it comes up in multiple songwriting credits:

reddit.com/r/mitski/comments/9a7pso/is_this_her_real_american_name

you’re not going to get an official ~source~ because these are just normal people with no resources researching but all of the information corroborates including and especially how she talks about growing up in 13 different countries which is literally on her wikipedia page: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitski#Early_life

and her father can be found in verifiable US documents:

columbia.edu/cu/lweb/digital/collections/cul/texts/ldpd_6260645_023/ldpd_6260645_023.pdf

Original thread:

some leftist twitter circles did some digging on mitski’s identity. found out her father is almost certainly a CIA operative who participated in a violent regime change in the DR Congo in the 80s

also found out arca’s father is a high level predatory investment banker in Venezuela!

all the indie pro-representation ~queer~ artists we’ve come to love are the children and beneficiaries of actual monsters. quite upsetting

EDIT TO ADD:

Honestly though what does her dad have to do with her? You are not your family

in fact your dad being a piece of s*** can inspire you to do better

CIA poster detected

This is stupid. This literally has nothing to do with Mitski. Imagine if job interviews did a background check on your father. What reason would there be for that?

Leave her alone

What’s up with these new age poofs becoming woke after benefitting from their parents being terrible people

I’ll play the devils advocate here. the CIA did what any superpower paramilitary force would do to ensure their global hegemony

lock thread ban op

Who

Another reason Kanye’s the goat

it matters that the only reason she has the resources to do what she does is because her father participated in a violent imperialist regime change at the expense of the lives and wellbeing of thousands of impoverished black and brown people?

Lmao when people say devils advocate they don’t usually mean LITERALLY but I kinda respect the gall to do so

Nobody

ahahahah im so clever

Dunno how they’re learning by becoming pop artists

Learning would be denouncing their parents publicly not most likely using the resources at their parent’s disposal to make music

y’all are super weird. was just spreading information. imperialism apology is disgusting

and YES, the children of people who have their hands in orchestrated GENOCIDE deserve to be held accountable. at the very least we should be allowed to KNOW about it.

ironic because mitskis father's org (cia) was on the supporting side of the fbi who destroyed kanye's father's org (black panthers)

Didn't she have some weird s***trafficking allegations a few years back

Both of his parents were really Involved in some really great causes

what evidence do you have to support the claim that she is using her father's money?

Using ur father’s blood money to make music about being gay
