Pop star clears the air with fans on LittleMonsters website

In a recent conversation with her fans on her LittleMonsters website, Lady Gaga hit on topics such as rumors of "ARTPOP" losing Interscope $25 million and causing layoffs at the label, trusting those around her and much more.

Around the release of "ARTPOP," an Examiner article, which has since disappeared, claimed that Gaga's new album had sold well below what Interscope had hoped, setting into motion a chain reaction that ended in a multi-million dollar loss and layoffs at the label. However, in a post on the website, the pop star said there was "no truth to many of your comments, including the 25 million dollars deficit.

In fact, according to Gaga, there's no ill will at Interscope at all despite selling 258,000 copies of "ARTPOP" in its first week out -- tepid numbers compared to her past releases. "I have lost love [sic] ones to the greed of money," she wrote. "It is not interscope. They in fact love me very much and will see 'ARTPOP' to the end.

As Popcrush notes, her comments hint at possible betrayal by those formerly close to her. "My heart breaks from the people I have trusted and loved who I’ve worked so closely with, who have used me, lied to me, worked me into the ground for the personal gain," the singer wrote. "When I woke up in the hospital after my surgery there were many people that were not there. My health did not matter. I did not matter unless I could perform. This is a very hard lesson.

"But I can't be vicious anymore. Let me just say that I know Gaga is in a horrible place right now. I found out recently"

"...just how bad it is. The last thing we need is another pop star suicide. Everybody can help by being critical in a + way."

Journalism icon Angela Cheng would never report incorrect facts though.

I still think it's funny that so many people willingly believed Interscope dropped $25m on promotion. They say she's irrelevant while thinking her label would allow her such a massive budget. The contradictions never stop.

you are messy for that btw photo

this isn't going to change anything though. people will still be daft enough to believe the 25m rumor, even though it's been proven time and time again to be false

Goodbye with that picture.

Billboard forgiving the queen tho

Wait apparently Angela likes Gaga now, look at her twitter. Very suspicious.

Honestly it baffles me how many reputable sources cited that rumor. Anyone with basic math and common sense would know that $25 million is a ridiculous amount to spend upfront on promo for an album. At $15 per album, ARTPOP would have had to sell nearly 1.7 million copies just to sell $25 million worth of albums.

(And we know that ARTPOP was sold for less than $15 in some places

)

How can you discount a rumor tho? Never knew you have to pay for them
