Lady Gaga denies 'ARTPOP' flop

Much in the same way she did for the album's lead single "Applause", Lady Gaga is denying rumors that her latest album ARTPOP is flopping. 

Speaking to uber-fans on her LittleMonsters site, Mother Monster dispelled a rumor that was started on an Examiner article. The since-deleted article claimed that ARTPOP lost Interscope (Gaga's label) $25 million.

Gaga countered that there is "no truth to many of your comments, including the 25 million dollars deficit." 

Gaga went on to say that the folks at Interscope still backed her fully.

"I have lost love [sic] ones to the greed of money," she said. "It is not interscope. They in fact love me very much and will see 'ARTPOP' to the end." 

However, that doesn't mean all is well in the Haus of Gaga. Ms. Germanotta rambled a bit about some unnamed betrayal (possibly having to do with the depature of her manager, but maybe not).

"My heart breaks from the people I have trusted and loved who I've worked so closely with, who have used me, lied to me, worked me into the ground for the personal gain. When I woke up in the hospital after my surgery there were many people that were not there," she said. "My health did not matter. I did not matter unless I could perform. This is a very hard lesson."
