In a new Daily Mail interview, Lady Gaga confesses that she used to be a coke addict who snorted “bags and bags of cocaine” before she became famous. Earlier this year, she even credited cocaine for inspiring the fashions she wears.
GaGa, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta, said:’My father is a really powerful man, a telecom guy. So he looked at me one day and said, “You’re f***in’ up, kid.” And I looked at him and thought, “How does he know that I’m high right now?”
‘And he never said a word about the drugs, not one word. But he said, “I just wanna tell you that anyone you meet while you’re like this, and any friend that you make in the future while you are with this thing, you will lose.”
‘And we never talked about it again.’
The 23-year-old began taking cocaine regularly in 2005 after dropping out of a music course at New York University to find fame.
“My cocaine soundtrack was The Cure. I loved all their music, but I listened to this one song on repeat while I did bags and bags of cocaine.
She said: ‘I didn’t think there was anything wrong with me until my friends came over and said, ‘Are you doing this alone?’ “Um, yes. Me and my mirror”.’
‘But I was able to stop, because I was panicking more on the drugs than I was sober. So I’m fine now.
As far as the singer’s health today, she says that she is no longer an addict though she still likes to “party” and drink. It’s pretty clear that Gaga’s record label just wants her to shut up about her powdery past. ”The label gets mad at me for talking about it – they say, ‘We don’t want people to think that you’re not a pop star.’ But I am a pop star. I’m a pop star with a story!”
