'Soon as Gaga came out, everything switched up. He told Vibe magazine: 'I think sometimes she gets insecure because of all of the success Gaga has had, not realising that she was already successful before Gaga came out. And then my friend had to come in and pull the camera out, they wouldn't turn the cameras off.'īionic was the sixth studio album by Christina and suffered the biggest single-week drop in UK chart history upon its release.īionic plummeted to No29 in the charts after debuting at No1 when released and it only sold 24,000 units – the lowest sales figure for a No1 album in eight years.Įven R&B singer Akon - Gaga's mentor- suggested Aguilera was feeling 'insecure' about GaGa's huge fame. 'He was supposed to be my friend and I felt betrayed, so I started crying. 'He started asking me really terrible questions, and he was being very negative about (single) Born This Way, and we had had a lot to drink,' she told Howard Stern in 2013. Lady Gaga did not like the questions Perez was asking, and stormed off set. Their feud kicked off in 2011 when Perez interviewed an allegedly drunk Lady Gaga, for a cooking segment in Australia. 'I was hurt and betrayed and stabbed in the back, but it was never my intention to hurt her,' he concluded. I have reached out to her to apologize, even though I don't think I was in the wrong.' 'We had a lot of good times, but I'm not sitting around missing her, no. When asked whether he misses Lady Gaga, real name Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta he was quick to say that he's moved on. 'Now, I look back and she was going through a lot, and she's no longer with those people who were at the beginning of her career that helped, and part of the team. Perez went on to say that he was shocked for someone he considered a 'real friend' to have 'betrayed' him. 'Well, when you have that kind of fame, it really warps your entire life, your perception, how people treat you.'

'Everybody here has experienced fame to some degree, but - and this is not an insult - not a single person in this camp has experienced fame like Lady Gaga did,' he said. Perez explained that the pair started out as 'really good friends' but had a falling out when she achieved a certain level of fame. Now as Perez has admitted to launching a hate campaign against Xtina in the past, claiming he was spurred on by Gaga calling him to complain about the Lotus hitmaker - looks back at Gaga and Xtina's feud. Lady Gaga's o nce fiercest supporter and confidante Perez Hilton, who championed her career in its early days - began writing a slew of negative stories about Xtina, branding her 'Floptina' and accusing her of being a copycat. Xtina dressed in spandex bondage costumes, admitted she was bisexual and posed for a naked magazine cover to promote her album - but that did not help her record sales.

The album - which featured widely-derided single, Not Myself Tonight - was roundly criticized for seemingly ripping off Gaga's sound and artistic direction. However in 2010, as Gaga's career and unique artistic futuristic style broke boundaries, Christina suffered a monumental fall from grace with her flop comeback album Bionic. It was the battle of the worldwide divas when Lady Gaga broke onto the music scene in 2008 and quickly made waves, all while fellow blonde superstar Christina Aguilera plotted her career comeback.
