Lady Gaga explained the reason behind why she never addressed rumors she was a man

Recently, Lady Gaga revealed her reasons for avoiding the long-running idea that she was a guy in her early career. For his upcoming Netflix series What’s Next?, Bill Gates granted an interview. Gaga said, “I didn’t feel like a victim with that lie,” in response to the question on The Future With Bill Gates. Furthermore, she stated that it wasn’t in the best interests of others to address it, especially for young people who might be dealing with similar claims.

The pop star’s Photoshopped photo became viral online in the 2010s, sparking the start of the rumor. Despite being questioned about it frequently, Gaga declined to refute the assertion, saying that she aimed to be “thought-provoking and unsettling in a different manner. The vocalist of Bad Romance addressed the issue in a 2011 interview with Anderson Cooper, asking wryly why she should “waste time” responding to such allegations.

Since then, Gaga’s remarks in the Netflix series have won her admirers who praised her boldness, sensitivity, and long-term thinking. Her performances are more authentic than any online conjecture, she emphasized, saying, “That is so much more real than all of the rumors that are designed to orbit me to gain more clicks.”
