They ain't mad... They dropped Gaga and then signed Bieber. And all was right in Def Jam's fantasy world.

L.A. Reid – the man behind Rihanna, Usher and Mariah Carey’s careers – recently admitted he could’ve taken credit for Lady Gaga’s success too, but was having a bad day when he decided to drop her – only months after originally signing her to Island Def Jam.
Of course, Gaga went on to sign with Interscope and L.A. moved to Epic Records, but here’s what he had to say about what could have been:
“One day, this artist came to my office. She played piano, she had on white go-go boots, thigh-high boots. She sat down at the piano and she played and she sang and when she was done, I said, ‘You are an amazing artist, a true artist and you will change music’ and I signed her. Her name was Lady Gaga.
“Then a few months later, I got her demos and it was a work in progress and I was having a bad day. A bad day. And I said, ‘You know what? I really don’t like it. Let her have her freedom. Let her go find her career.’ And it was the worst thing I’ve ever done.”

What are these LIES?

LOS ANGELES, CALIF. -- He’s signed pop superstars Usher, Pink, Justin Bieber and Rihanna, but music mogul and “The X Factor” judge L.A. Reid says there’s one monstrous artist he regrets letting slip through the cracks.
“This artist came to my office… she played piano, she had on white go-go boots – like, all the way up to here, thigh high boots — she sat down at that piano, she played and she sang,” L.A. told Access Hollywood’s Shaun Robinson during a new interview in Los Angeles on Tuesday. “When she was done, I said, ‘You are an amazing artist, a true star, and you will change music,’ and I signed her. Her name was Lady Gaga.
“Then, a few months later, I got her demos, and it was a work in progress, and I was having a bad day. I’m telling you, I was having a bad day,” he continued. “And I said, ‘You know what? I really don’t like it. Let her have her freedom, let her go find her career.’ It was the worst thing I’ve ever done.”
Though the former Island Def Jam Music Group chairman still regrets his decision to release the “You and I” singer, the discovery of a then-unknown Canadian teen helped to cushion the blow.
“I felt bad, but I swear to you, like a month later Justin Bieber came and redeemed me, so, you know, I survived it all,” L.A. told Shaun, of signing the then-14-year-old “Baby” singer shortly after sending Lady Gaga packing. “But I’m a little bit jealous, because the Twitter following, for example, the biggest ones are Bieber and Lady Gaga, so I would have felt like the king of the world! Instead I felt like half the king.”

Right. They only passed on the biggest pop star since Madonna. No big deal.

Nobody cares about your ***** getting twisted over Gaga's name; if you lost someone on your record label that eventually started selling 2 million in a week worldwide, you'd be enraged. Especially if it was you that laid her off.

They are mad as **** and should be. She's the most profitable artist in the game right now.

Not surprising. Def Jam even shades their own artist, Rihanna, every year when they knowingly release her album in a week in which she'll get pummeled.
