Lady Gaga pulling strings behind the scenes to make Diddy’s legal team abandon ship? Now that’d be a music industry power move for the ages. Rumor has it that Mother Monster flexed her influence to send Diddy scrambling for new legal representation. The idea of Gaga, known for her boundary-pushing artistry, quietly making her mark on courtroom drama’s the kind of tea that fans love to sip.

Whether it’s true or not, it’s fun to imagine a world where pop divas don’t just rule the stage but also have the power to shake up the legal world. A little too wild? Maybe. But in Gaga’s universe, anything is possible.

Diddy just got dropped by his longtime legal team, Grubman, Shire, Meiselas & Sacks, and the rumor mill is going wild. Word on the street was that Lady Gaga had something to do with the split, but the firm quickly shut that down. A spokesperson told Page Six (via Economics Times), 

The decision to part ways with Mr. Combs was proactively made by the partners in the firm a number of months ago as they felt it was the right thing to do. 

So yeah, Gaga’s not involved. Apparently, Diddy’s been swimming in legal trouble lately, with serious accusations like assault, harassment, and trafficking piling up. The law firm called it quits weeks ago. Oh, and some of Diddy’s famous pals like The Weeknd, Usher, and Drake? Yeah, they’ve all bailed too. Still, the law firm’s standing firm, saying, 

The report that the decision was the result of client pressure just isn’t true. That conversation with Gaga never happened.

This isn’t the first time Diddy’s in hot water. A leaked video of him allegedly assaulting Cassie Ventura made waves, and even New York Mayor Eric Adams asked him to give back the City’s key.

Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars are totally killing it with Die With a Smile, holding down the top spot on both the Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts for the fifth week in a row! The track’s been racking up streams like crazy—117.8M globally from Sept. 20-26, and it’s showing no signs of slowing down.

This marks Gaga and Bruno’s first No. 1 since these charts kicked off, and they’ve kept the momentum going with over 100M streams for four straight weeks. Die With a Smile even left Sabrina Carpenter and Kendrick Lamar’s hits in the dust.

Gaga also dropped her new album Harlequin, but it’s clear the world’s still hooked on this banger. Keep an eye out for the next Billboard update—this song’s not going anywhere!
