Is Gaga a hypocrite for the alleged Apple Music exclusive deal?

[Gardevoir 9,822]

It clearly isn't her decision to make I think. I also don't understand if music is brand exclusive, what are the perks of that? I mean we can see what happened to Tidal exclusive releases, don't we? It usually underperforms commercially.

Apple deal means free promo for your album and money to be used for music videos, promo and tour... It costs a lot of money to launch an album campaign when you are a popstar and records don't sell like they used to. What's wrong with taking opportunities?

 

She isn't an up and coming pop star or an indie artist who desperately needs funding for their projects. Gaga has a quarter of a billion dollars in the bank, and the support of a major label. She also isn't in desperate need of promo, Chaos Angle was trending topic all over the world, and that was a fake Gaga song.

An Apple Music exclusive would be about putting money directly in her pocket, just like her celebrity fragrance and dog accessory line. She is a business woman interested in making tremendous amounts of money, we don't have to pretend otherwise.
