PopUps: Gaga Throws Shade Back at The Chainsmokers
The two members of the pop act The Chainsmokers, who racked up a few top 10 hits over the last year, decided to be rude for literally no reason and bash Lady Gaga's "Perfect Illusion" in a recent Rolling Stones interview.
"It sucks," Alex Pall, one half of the DJ duo said. The other half, Drew Taggart, dialed it back a bit, calling Gaga "a great artist."
Mother Monster was apparently aware of Pall's diss. On Tuesday, she released a new single called "A-YO" and took it upon herself to throw the shade right back at The Chainsmokers.
In a tweet promoting the new song, Gaga directed her message to the band, saying "maybe u guys'll like this 1 better," adding a peace sign emoji and three cigarette emojis. As Entertainment Weekly points out, the lyrics to "A-YO" go: "I can't wait to smoke them all, whole pack like Marlboro / Blow it in your face."
The Chainsmokers had a bro-y response, of course.
Listen to "A-YO" below. Lady Gaga's new album "Joanne" drops Friday.
