Lady Gaga’s Haus of Gaga has betrayed her, according to the pop diva. Haus of Gaga is the pop star’s personal creative team, and is responsible for most of her iconic looks in music videos and unique street style.
The singer has apologised to her fans for the long wait of her new music video of Do What U Want. Gaga, who claims she faced problems with her team, said in a post on her Little Monsters website, “It is late because, unfortunately, I was given a week to plan and execute it.”
The star also claimed that she was given very little time for her creativity to flourish. "It is very devastating for someone like me; I devote every moment of my life to creating fantasies. All my most successful videos were planned over a period of time when I was rested and my creativity was honoured,” the star said in an interview with Cosmopolitan.
“Millions of dollars are not enough for some people. They want billions. Then they need trillions. I was not enough for some people. They wanted more, and those who did not care about ARTPOP's success are now gone, and the dreams I have been planning can now come to fruition,” added the pop star. Gaga also parted ways with former manager Troy Carter in 2013, just a week ahead of the release of her latest album ARTPOP.
The star was appreciative of the support provided to her by her loyal and devoted fan following. Gaga was also thankful to both the paparazzi and designers for not going public with any of the disruptive events that had taken place behind the scenes, which she was left to deal with alone while recovering from hip surgery, following an injury. “I was too sick, too tired, and too sad to control the damage on my own,” the star commented brokenly.
Addressing her impatient fans, Gaga said she was beginning with a fresh start. "Let me be for you the goddess that I know I truly am, and let me show you the visions that have been in my mind for two years. Forgive me monsters. Forgive me ARTPOP. You are my whole world."
