Stephanie Mills Says “Culture Vulture” Lady Gaga Disrespected Her During a Surprise Performance: “You Owe Me an Apology”

Stephanie Mills says an unpleasant encounter with Lady Gaga left such a bad impression that she still believes the pop superstar owes her an apology.

The Grammy Award-winning R&B legend did not hold back while discussing Gaga during an appearance on BET’s “The Jason Lee Show.” In a preview for the full interview, Mills shared her feelings about the singer and explained why a past interaction changed how she viewed the international superstar.
“I feel like Lady Gaga is a culture vulture,” Mills said during the conversation.

The accusation immediately put their alleged interaction under scrutiny, especially considering Mills’ decades of contributions to R&B, soul music, and Broadway. However, the singer made it clear that her criticism came from a personal experience rather than simply disliking Gaga’s music or public image.

Stephanie Mills recalled being approached about making a surprise appearance for Gaga during a fashion photo shoot in New York City.

Mills explained that a former manager informed her that Gaga supposedly loved her signature song, “Home.” The arrangement involved Mills showing up and performing the beloved record for the pop star.

Although she was initially hesitant about the request, Mills eventually agreed to participate.

What was supposed to be a special musical moment allegedly became an uncomfortable experience.

During the interview, Mills claimed Gaga showed little enthusiasm when she performed the song. Instead of receiving the warm response she anticipated, the veteran entertainer described feeling as though her presence was unwelcome.

“She looked at me like I had two heads,” Mills recalled.

For Stephanie Mills, the disappointment apparently extended beyond Gaga’s reaction to the performance.

Mills alleged that she had not been offered money for the appearance. Instead, the arrangement reportedly involved receiving professional photographs from the photographer working at the shoot.
