Lady Gaga released this statement for his fans to know the real reason why she is not on Kendrick Lamar’s debut album Good Kid M.a.a.d City.
I apologize to the fans that this situation with Partynauseous is confusing. To it clear it up I must explain this. When I collaborate with an artist i work solely with them, not with their camps or management. Its purely organic and creative. I love Kendrick dearly as a friend, but was not willing to compromise musically to the changes his team was making to my music. This is why I am not his record. I have a very specific vision as a producer and songwriter, and I always have. That song will be released at a different time, for a different project. I love you, and think you should check out his stuff because he is truly great. He’s a good kid, its just sometimes a mad city.
He already has big names on his project, so not having Lady Gaga won’t hurt him. Although I still would like to hear the record they have recorded. The Lady Gaga record could of easily helped him sell some singles, and albums (Im Just Saying).

That doesn’t say Kendrick Lamar is the reason she’s not on the album. It says other people (label, managers, a&rs), namely “his team”, is the reason.
