Even if it was big (it wasn't), that song wasn't even in Gaga's Top 20 (or probably even Top 40) most streamed at the time. It's not a precedent by any means. i'm not ignoring it, it was deleted anyways, i'm not very knowledgeable about current pop music, it is the only case i have heard about of a big pop artist deleting a song because of its problematic collaborator, do you know any other case?

BUtterfield 8 41,302 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I obviously would love for Dua to be the one to remove the dababy feature but if she can’t cause of the label best thing to do is not stream it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aglaya 8,362 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 You people over here are really comparing DWUW with Levitating, as if they both were on any similar situations DWUW was removed 6 years after it's release, and it involved a way more serious crime about it than Levitating. Also, DaBaby version is just a remix, he's not featured on the regular version of the song, so its not even close to the situation regarding DWUW back in 2013. Dua should be fine with just singing the regular version in the future. I don't get why some of you keep blaming Dua for something she's not related to, at all. Y'all really be blaming a woman for a men being homophobic huh. could mean anything Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWUW was definitely in her top 15 most streamed tracks on Spotify back then (2018/19), maybe even top 10... And it was a relatively big hit globally, way bigger than Million Reasons.

MonsterOfSpain 8,307 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Thanks to stupid arguments in this thread I've just discovered that DWUW did actually peak inside the top 10 in the Hot 100 omg I always thought it had peaked at #13, and Wikipedia says that too... when did this happen? https://www.billboard.com/music/lady-gaga/chart-history/OCC/song/803226 So this means she actually has 18 top 10 hits, 3 of them from ARTPOP... legend behaviour, one of her best songs did THAT!!

Also, the song was literally called Do What U Want (With my Body), and the music video was directed by another problematic and s*x crime related person at the time. Lady Gaga decided to delete that song 6 whole years after it's release, and It wasn't even a big hit as Applause, nor even half as big as Levitating. DaBaby, on the other hand, it's just an homophibic piece of sh*t featured on a remix of a song. Dua has nothing to do with that, and should be able to just stop performing this remix live from now and that's it. People can't demand someone to delete their biggest hit just because someone she worked for a remix once is homophobic. R.Kelly is literally in prison lmao. I can't believe you guys are really comparing both situations. could mean anything Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
