Lady Gaga has fired her longtime manager, Troy Carter, just
days before the release of her 3rd studio album 'Artpop'.
Carter has managed the 'Born This Way' singer since 2007,
before the release of her debut album, 'The Fame', and is regarded as an
integral part of Gaga's success.
A source very close to the singer's relationship with her
manager confirmed the split was over "creative differences,"
according to Showbiz411.com.
The source, who chooses to stay anonymous, told the gossip
site that "She doesn't take direction anymore," this could prove a
very costly move for Gaga as her newest studio album 'Artpop' is due out next
Tuesday.
Carter got the 27 year-old a multimillion dollar record deal
with 'Interscope records' and has been closely working with Gaga, overseeing
her transformation into a global superstar.
Since their partnership, Gaga has sold over 9 million albums
worldwide, with 2011's 'Born This Way' selling over 2 million copies in the US
alone. She holds a staggering 40 million followers on twitter and is viewed as
the next pop-icon.
But without any guidance can she still produce that kind of
success?
The dismissal of Mr Carter also comes days after her very
bizarre performance at the first ever YouTube Music Awards. Gaga wore no
make-up, a trucker's hat and a flannel shirt, she sing a controversially titled
ballad called 'Dope' and cried hysterically throughout the whole performance.
Representatives for both parties have yet to comment on the
alleged allegations.
Lady Gaga's third studio album 'Artpop' is set for release
on November 11th 2013.
