Gaga became relevant in 2009 and in 2015 - six years later - she performed at the Oscars, won a Grammy, and is about to star in one of the most popular cable series out right now.
Nicki became relevant in 2010 and in 2015 - five years later - can't get a top 10 hit without using video views as a crutch.
2009 - Bedrock
2010 - Bottoms Up
2011 - Super Bass
2012 - Starships
2013 - Beauty and a Beat
2014 - Anaconda
2015 - Hey Mama
Of course theres a lot more top 10s shes had but look a top 10 since 2009
Still smashing while Flopga hasnt charted since G.U.Y failed to reach the top 75 with the throw up, the hyped video, and many tv performances
Personally, if my fave started out as a fearless pop goddess and then became a tribute act singing old corny musical songs and old corny standards and became a TV actress, I'd be really pissed.

How come Nicki can't get hits on her own and has to rely on the relevancy of Justin Bieber, David Guetta, Lil Wayne, Trey Songz and others who are more successful than her? Can the girl[?] not win on her own hustle?

They are. That's why they take their frustrations out by constantly coming for Katy's love life (see: ezra) since Gaga buying her own engagement ring is the only thing they have left
I'm tired of talking about Madead, this is 2015 and nobody uses her anymore. The madonsters need to go band together at the local retirement home or something
Arguing about relationships is kind of dumb though, they're free to date/sleep with whoever they want. Taylor kind of uses everyone she dates for promo, though.
