Kinks Fire Back at Moby Over Lola Controversy

After Moby labeled Lola transphobic and ‘unevolved,’ Dave Davies blasted the guitarist on Twitter and detailed a phone chat with Ray Davies in which Ray allegedly asked, ‘Who the fuck is Moby?’ Davies says he doesn’t enjoy criticizing others but dislikes Moby’s take, notes Lola’s enduring significance, and cites Jayne County’s 2020 essay defending the song. The brothers are meanwhile talking about low‑key live shows and a Kinks art project, with no reunion planned for now.

Dave Davies Fires Back After Moby Calls Lola Transphobic

Moby labeled The Kinks’ Lola as “gross and transphobic” in The Guardian’s Honest Playlist, prompting Dave Davies to respond on X that he’s “highly insulted.” The piece also highlights the long-running debate over Lola’s subject—trans woman or cross-dresser—and Ray Davies’s view that the song’s gender isn’t the point, with Jayne County praising Lola as a barrier-breaking track for LGBTQ visibility.
