I whole-heartedly expected this to be a Kesha drag.
The total dismissal of the "ikonik bad romance vidyo!!" by the GP is hilarious.

Like..Gaga isn't even really that special. After going through some Lil' Kim costumes, the case could be made that that's where Nicki got her influence.

But I always loved Missy because she was playful. I always said with Missy and Left Eye, they weren’t afraid to be goofy at times and I loved that as well.”

I think what happened was Gaga's rise was so big, everything that remotely resembled her got cited as "her influence".

So glad we can all finally agree that the only thing Gaga really influenced was the fall of her career.

"TiK ToK" is the best-selling digital single of all time.
So, the jokes on you, "California Gurls"/"Bad Romance."

Nicki Minaj sits on a black leather couch in the interview room. Her voluptuous rear creates a significant dip in the settee, and the heat of the room is causing her haute couture tight dress to stick to the upholstery. Her hair is sleek platinum blonde, and her nails are perfectly manicured with golden spikes on the tips to match the outlining of her dress. To her irritation, she begins to sweat slightly in the stuffy room. The air conditioning is on full blast and several fans are rotating around her, but they do little to ease the discomfort. A young makeup artist from Queens hurries over and touches up the outermost of many layers of luminous cartoon makeup. Minaj tuts and waves the paint slave away, in the same manner she saw her idol Beyoncé do the other day. The assistant awkwardly smacks her face with a brush and then skitters out of the room.
The rapper sits and waits, pulling at her dress uncomfortably. Why does she have to wait this long? She thinks bitterly. An artist of my calibre should not be treated this way. She gazes at her pointed bejewelled nails and imagines digging them into the scalp of her tardy interviewer.
Finally the magazine correspondent shuffles into the room, a flustered and beige-cardigan'd mess. She apologies profusely to Minaj and prattles on about clashing schedules. Nicki smiles forcedly and stares at the woman's dull brown bob, envisioning the pained screams as she clawed her fingers around the dull, dehydrated roots. The interviewer, Sara or Sarah or some other grey Caucasian name, seemed not to notice Minaj's look of menace and began to set up a tape recorder.
The interview went underway in a straightforward manner, yet all the while Minaj felt all the more irritable from the heat. Often her eyes would glaze over and she would think of bathing in a tub of ice, or of smacking the interviewer over the head with one of the metal fans. However, Sarah(?)'s latest question brought the rapper back to earth with a bump.
"....so who would you say is your biggest style inspiration? Obviously Lady Gaga has been a huge influence on you, shall we discuss how she's impacted your more edgier of styles?"
As the interviewer waited expectantly for an answer, Onika gripped the edges of the sofa intensely. Her mouths stretched into a pained grimace and her eyes narrowed and her nostrils flared. WHY? Why does everyone keep asking me about Gaga? she thinks furiously. No bitch I don't wanna talk about that chick at all.
"... So tell me about what you're wearing now. I think I saw Gaga with the exact same piece two years ago, would you say you have a delayed reaction or some-"
"Bitch WHAT?" she roars. Nicki jumps to her feet, her rubber dress squealing as it is ripped from the couch. She extends a bony finger at the shocked interviewer. "You think you're funny huh? Bitch you don't know me. Tryna stir up **** between artists. I don't need this! I'm a busy woman!"
Sarah stammers apologies, but it is not enough to soothe the enraged Trinidadian. "OH! Oh not saying much now are we? You gotta a lot of nerve for a shabby ass white bitch. Lookin' like a $5 dollar discount brochure for the elderly. I am an artist! I don't need Barabra Walter bitches like you tryna make jokes about me. What's good bitch, what's good???"
As she rants at the poor woman, Nicki's team hurry into the room to try to quell her. An assistant lightly holds her shoulder, and she flings him over the coffee table.
"I have had enough! Bitch I'm Nicki Minaj! The one and only. You can keep your Lady Gaga and your Miley bitches. I'm out."
And with that, she sweeps her blond weave around in a whirl, and strides out of the room, her sizeable backside shaking as she moves. She turns on her phone to dial RedOne, but for some reason the number is blocked. She screeches and chucks the phone at her assistants hurrying along in her wake. "Call Bey! Imma need to collab again to show these ****** who's really on top."
The assistants exchange nervous glances, each silently dreading being the one to be on the receiving end of Ms Knowles' sleep-disrupted wrath.
Back in the interview room, the staff tidy up the mess of the tantrum. "That Minja does this a lot I heard." mentions an editor. Sarah seems unruffled by the incident. "Let's see if we can get Miley next week to talk about her harrrasment at the VMAs." she says, staring into the deep depression in the sofa caused by the volatile rapper's ample cheeks.

This is kinda true As much as liddo monsters scream "Nicki, Rihanna and Katy copied Gaga woo Godga ha power" it doesn't change the fact they're still relevant and getting hits, while Gaga is now a cover artist

Tik Tok's views were always pathetic. Actually Ke$ha's views are all really BTW tragic, besides Timber thanks to Mr. WorldWide.

This.
What makes more sense is that Gaga took budding trends and fused it into one image. And because she blew up, people attributed those things to her. Now that she's not huge anymore, we can kinda see that she didn't really pioneer anything. She was simply a socio-cultural blender, taking all the loud and crazy things already in existence and incorporating it into her image (which as we can see, came to backfire on her).
Even her BTW rhetoric coincided with the SJW movement.
