The Pokerface singer is reported to be the focus of track from Madonna’s new album Two Steps Behind Me, in which the Vogue singer describes Gaga as a ‘copycat’.
‘You’re a copycat, Where is my royalty? You’re a pretty girl, I’ll give you that. But stealing my recipe, it’s an ugly look,’ Madonna sings in the hard-hitting song.
‘Did you study me hard enough? You’re never gonna be, you’re just a wannabe me. Like a sister all messed-up, who’s gonna help you out? In your fantasy, you can try it all. But you can’t be me.
‘You can walk the walk, even talk the talk. But you’ll always be two steps behind me.’
A source working closely with Madonna on her upcoming 13th album thinks Gaga, 28 will be ‘mortified’ when she catches wind of the damning lyrics, although it is yet to be confirmed whether the song has made the cut.
