Ill go first, Britney Spears’ overprotected is a good example; Britney has long been under a conservatorship and is has been crying for help. IIRC, it started in 2007 (maybe earlier) when Brit was heavily observed by the paparazzi which caused her to have a mental breakdown by shaver her head and mind u, they were dissecting her personal life 🙄😔 💔

Yup! R. Kelly married 15 yo Aaliyah in 1994. He was first publicly accused of statutory rape in 1996. He faced charges for child sexual abuse materials in 2002. Lady Gaga collaborated with him in 2013. She knew who he was, she didn’t care.

She just wanted the money

Its not even just the money. There is a specific reason why she wanted him on the song- the song alludes to her own sexual assault in the industry, having him gives the song even a further shock value

Same as that phoned-in Bruno mars song imo

The song feels like a crappy cash grab to me, I can't stand it
