Lady Gaga a postat o scrisoare deschisa catre fani pe site-ul LittleMonsters.com. In mesaj, artista le explica fanilor de ce videoclipul piesei "Do What U Want" feat. R. Kelly va fi lansat cu intarziere si care este soarta ultimului sau album, "ARTPOP".
Videoclipul ”Do What U Want” ar fi trebuit sa fie lansat in decembrie anul trecut, iar cantareata da vina pentru aceasta situatie pe partenerii sai de afaceri. Lady Gaga face referire in scrisoare la fostul sau manager, Troy Carter, la serviciile caruia a renuntat in luna noiembrie a anului trecut.
"Cei care m-au tradat mi-au manageriat foarte prost timpul, sanatatea si m-au lasat sa ma lupt cu problemele de una singura. Milioanele de dolari nu sunt de ajuns pentru acesti oameni, vor miliarde. Apoi au nevoie de triliarde. Nu am fost indeajuns pentru unii oameni" scrie Lady Gaga, care adauga ca a avut la dispozitie doar o saptamana pentru a realiza videoclipul "Do what u want".
Iata scrisoarea integrala publicata pe pagina littlemonsters.com:
"It is late because, just like with the Applause video unfortunately, I was given a week to plan and execute it. It is very devastating for someone like me, I devote every moment of my life to creating fantasies for you. All my my most successful videos were planned over a period of time when I was rested and my creativity was honored.
Those who have betrayed me gravely mismanaged my time and health and left me on my own to damage control any problems that ensued as a result. 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.
I am very grateful to the photographers and designers who have always stood by me to make sure my fans are never aware of the things that happen behind the scenes, but unfortunately after my surgery I was too sick, too tired, and too sad to control the damage on my own. My label was not aware that this was going on. The next few months of ARTPOP will truly be its beginning. Because those who did not care about ARTPOP's success are now gone, and the dreams I have been planning can now come to fruition.
Please forgive me that I did not foresee this coming, I never thought after all the years of hard work that those I called friends and partners would ever care so little at a time I needed them the most. Give me a chance to show you the meaning of seeing art all around you. Open your hearts to me again that I may show you the joy of us coming together through our talents, that we are stronger as a unit than when we are alone.
Let me be for you the Goddess that I know I truly am, let me show you the visions that have been in my mind for two years. I love you. Forgive me monsters. Forgive me ARTPOP. You are my whole world."
