After years of critics’ constant comparisons between her and Lady Gaga, Madonna has finally broken her silence regarding the issue. However, the icon, who is currently preparing a new album, did little to assuage the situation. Instead, she blasted Gaga by saying that the ‘Bad Romance’ singer has an “obsession” with her.
Read what Madonna had to say below:
The ‘Like A Prayer’ hitmaker told Le Soir: “As for Lady GaGa, I have no comment to make about her obsessions having to do with me because I don’t know whether her behavior is rooted in something deep and meaningful, or superficial.”
Ouch! Madonna’s representative later seemed to play down the legend slamming Lady G, telling E! News: “I do know that [Madonna] has said many supportive things about GaGa over the years.”

Madonna has been known for being involved in several feuds over the last 30 years – for instance, with Janet Jackson and Mariah Carey – but this has to be the most shocking showdown that she has started in quite some time! As she is known as an outspoken advocate of Gaga’s work, her comments have little explanation beyond the fact that she probably was not amused by the striking similarities between Gaga’s ‘Born This Way’ and her own ‘Express Yourself’.
Nonetheless, the viability of such a feud may not be in Madonna’s best interest. Regardless of her legendary status, she has been away from the music scene for over 3 years and Gaga has been dominating her market. Hence, like Christina Aguilera, Madonna may find herself facing a backlash from the younger generation as well as several people who were once her own fans.
The ramifications of this situation are going to be quite a spectacle!
