She did a good thing. Leave that man be, y'all. Doin entirely too much

Right? These comments make it feel like he threatened her or smt. 

The guy had the right to bitch about it. His song was taken without even a nod or a permission asked. 

If it was the other way around, this whole site would be defending Gaga like her baby was stolen lol.

“he should apologize!!!” Yall r delusional 

clearly Gaga and her team sampled him without his knowledge, he has every right to be shook and Gaga and her team are now doing the right thing crediting the rightful artists 

why is this so hard for yall 

Cause once someone seem to critic Gaga they'll deny no matter what and harass them... Even if it's her team work here so there's no need to be defensive of Gaga anyway. She ain't the one doing the credits lol.

And the bad faith it must take to deny the interpolation when Gaga fought to not add plagiarism accusers in her credits before... Here she did it for a reason.

I agree with him having the rights to complain and that it's nice of her to post this BUT she did not stole his song 

she "harnessed" or got inspired with Nightcall as a source material just like how some of her songs are inspired by Bowie.

I've been saying she ain't the one doing the credits but her team is so it's not her doing indeed... 

BUT if your music get used for something that gonna makes $ without credits you're being stolen lol.

So I'm glad they made it right.

Yeah it's an interpolation and that's okay ofc. It just needed fair credits and now it's fixed.

les no make this a big deal or attack the other artist, we are adults now

Too late he suppressed his account to not be harassed.

Wait wat ? 

He deleted his account, no way the electro music community must see us as Swifties... Twitter is an insane place.

Just read many comments here, even after he deleted his account folks are still blasting him.

When Gaga shaded Perry about green hair& mechanical horses they all clapped but here they gonna act like he never had a point and ended up in the credits by chance... It never happens with big acts/ labels guys. The ones who tried with Gaga/Universal were fought in court and lost but here she admits it so...

Genuinely wild how many people insist it was interpolated and the notes aren’t even the same lmao. Like idgaf she can give credits and the harassment was wrong, but like…c’mon

i hope im just being dramatic but this must be why Gaga was anxious. 

When do you mean like during Requiem? But Kavinsky hadn’t heard it until it premiered?

[holy scheisse 22,824]

Anyway DWAS requiem needs to be on Spotify or I’m gonna combust 

[mlmc1995 33]

Honestly I’m just glad this seems to have been resolved. I love Kavinsky’s music but thought he was childish in the way he approached this, though I understand his perspective. But he didn’t have to talk **** about her on social media and call it a rip-off. Feels like another situation where women within this genre get belittled. 

At the same time, LMs have been awful towards him and it’s embarrassing. The two of them have sorted it between themselves. I’m glad it’s done with for all involved regardless of what was the right or wrong thing to do. At the end of the day he’s a huge inspiration to Gaga and I’m sure she wanted to reach a point of agreement to ensure no bad blood.

Anyways in honour of this, time to listen to DWAS requiem another ten times

Male producers always have some sh*t to say to her, if this had happened back in 2012 she’d have politely told him “no I didn’t sample nor interpolate you now f*ck off” like what she did when Calvin Harris tried to make up in 2012 that he denied a collaborative request from her back during The Fame era.

I stand by that it doesn’t particularly sound like Nightcall beyond the genre being the same. Also his passive aggressive repost on instagram yeah he can suck a d*ck girl

the Calvin Harris thing is a bit like Gaga saying Madonna gave her blessing for BTW, then Madonna/team saying that's a lie

but then in the leaked documents it was proved that Gaga indeed got the blessing, madonna was credited behind the scenes and knew about everything before BTW was released, it was all PR.

I mean, aside from the fact that it was neither sampled nor interpolated . 

If Blurred lines can be harshly condemned for plagiarism like it was... There's no way this one wouldn't need some credits sharing to be safe legally. Laws are fair enough that you can't do some tiny changes to a song then use this song perfectly legally.

That's why he's credited now while others tried to be in Gaga's credits and were fought+ defeated in court. If ever he was ready to sue ( which we don't know ) they didn't even try to fight him despite being way "bigger"... They knew it was too close to take a risk and Gaga seem fine with it so good for them both imo.

homeboy doesn’t own the genre of synthwave 

Then why didn't the comments just mention it as Gaga doing synthwave? It was immediately about Nightcall mentions once it was posted.

Also I don't see him asking credits for other synthwave tracks. He did specifically with DWAS requiem because of the very strong similarities that were largely noticed. Name it how you want but it was his work being reworked and they did things right legally.
