Last month, Lorde and her longtime manager Scott Maclachlan parted ways, and the young New Zealand native came under fire for it. The Guardian‘s Eamonn Forde publicly questioned the decision – Maclachlan signed Lorde to Universal Music when she was just 11 after he saw a video of her performing at a talent show.
Lorde retaliated with this subtweet:
hey, men – do me and yourselves a favour, and don't underestimate my skill
— Lorde (@lordemusic) May 20, 2015
And again with this one:
yes, i'm a young lass, but i'm also making the best decisions for me each day. #stayeducated ?

Maclachlan’s company, Saiko Management, took Lorde off their website. Lorde, though, is working on her second album with producer Joel Little.
