In the age of artist empowerment, few words carry more emotional weight than masters. And in early 2026, Silicon Valley and Hollywood whispers have collided around a headline-grabbing rumor: that Michael Polansky is quietly preparing a multi-million-dollar play to buy back Lady Gaga’s early master recordings — not as a business flip, but as a wedding gift. The alleged number circulating? $50 million. The claim? That two lingering contracts — one tied to legacy masters, another to future delivery obligations — have kept Gaga from full creative independence. But what’s real, what’s speculation, and why does it matter? Like many major artists of the 2000s, Gaga signed her breakthrough deal with labels under the umbrella of Interscope Records in the mid-2000s. At the time, standard industry practice meant the label retained ownership of the original master recordings for albums like: The Fame Born This Way ARTPOP Owning masters isn’t just about royalties. It’s about veto power, licensing control, creative autonomy — and legacy. The recent industry climate has made that painfully clear. Artists from Prince to Taylor Swift have turned master ownership into a cultural flashpoint. Gaga herself has spoken in past interviews about the “trade” artists make early in their careers — giving up control for opportunity. So when reports surfaced that Polansky was liquidating tech holdings to fund a new private media entity, the internet filled in the rest of the story.

Cubans in the US are notorious for this line of thinking. Just because a country you or your family came from was in a dire state and this country offers a better way of life does not meant the rest of us can't critique and demand something better for THIS country. The Constitution of the USA gives us the RIGHT to criticize the government and demand change. I will not let anyone tell me how to feel and what to say. It's funny how these people think they are defending the US when they are actually trying to silence dissent which is actually the most un-American ideology anyone could have if you actually respect our rights.32 points

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) wrote a letter to the House Committee on Energy Commissions, calling for a formal inquiry into the NFL and NBCUniversal over their “prior knowledge, review, and approval of indecent content” from Apple Music’s halftime show. “The Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show was pure smut, brazenly aired on national television for every American family to witness. Children were forced to endure explicit displays of gay sexual acts, women gyrating provocatively, and Bad Bunny shamelessly grabbing his crotch while dry-humping the air,” Ogles wrote. “The performance’s lyrics openly glorified sodomy and countless other unspeakable depravities.” Ogles claimed in a post on X that the show “depicted gay pornography” (we couldn’t find any) and that the performance was “conclusive proof that Puerto Rico should never be a state.” Rep. Randy Fine (R-Fla.), meanwhile, has called for the Federal Communication Commission to investigate. Fine claimed on X that the “disgusting halftime show was illegal” and that had Bad Bunny “said these lyrics — and all of the other disgusting and pornographic filth in English on live TV, the broadcast would have been pulled down and the fines would have been enormous.” “Puerto Ricans are Americans, and we all live by the same rules,” Fine wrote, adding that he would be sending the FCC a letter demanding “dramatic action, including fines and broadcast license reviews, against the NFL, NBC, and ‘Bad Bunny.’” Read more: https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/republicans-investigations-bad-bunny-super-bowl-1235515336/26 points

2022: 15th March: A Beyoncé x Lady Gaga song is registered on BMI, the title being "Get Me Bodied", a song off of Beyoncé's second studio album "B-Day". At the time, many fans thought it was a remix or a working title for a new song. Personally, I think this is just an error (which BMI is full of, there are many errors!) but I still wanted to include this. 16th June: Beyoncé announces the title for her seventh studio album, RENAISSANCE. Eagle eyed fans quickly notice that Lady Gaga had mentioned this at her Tricon Award speech at the 2020 VMAs. “I know a renaissance is coming, and the wrath of pop culture will inspire you and the rage of art will empower you”. Fans think Beyoncé’s act iii will be rock and roll… and some themes of rock and roll include wrath and rage. Around this time, Beyoncé does a shoot for British Vogue with some photos that fans think resemble Gaga’s The Fame Monster and Born This Way album covers (again, personally a reach… but I wanted to include it!). Lady Gaga also likes a tweet during this time of a fan being excited about Beyoncé’s new album and Gaga’s Chromatica Ball taking place in the same year. RENAISSANCE is eventually released with no Lady Gaga collaboration. However, Beyoncé releases a short clip with her in multiple different locations as a VISUALS teaser on August 12th. One of the locations is her sitting in a driver's seat in a car. This car looks very similar to the *** Wagon, the car used in the Telephone video and the Kill Bill franchise. She is also, in a different clip, holding a telephone. This is the first of several times Beyoncé uses a telephone in her three-act era. These visuals still haven’t seen the light of day. Flash forward to: 2024: On February 11th 2024 (14 years after the date the Telephone music video was set), Beyoncé attends the Super Bowl and announces her eighth studio album, Cowboy Carter, along with her two singles, “Texas Hold ’Em” and “16 Carriages”. She posts a video teaser which aesthetic looks similar to the “Telephone” music video, with the desert background, and a similar yellow car to the *** Wagon. Coincidentally, Gaga also posts a photo at the Super Bowl with a peace sign with two fingers… could it potentially be hinting at Beyoncé’s act ii? Though I know Gaga holds the peace sign a lot! Closer to the album release, many are hoping for a Gaga feature on Cowboy Carter. Beyoncé’s stylist fuels the rumours, by posting a photo of Lady Gaga from the Telephone video set, though he was also posting other icons such as Britney Spears etc. On the 22nd March 2024, Lady Gaga posts a Instagram story with Perfect Celebrity lyrics written on a typewriter, with the front cover of a comic in the background featuring Lady Gaga wearing the iconic blue Telephone hat from the music video. Cowboy Carter is released on the 29th March 2024 with no Lady Gaga collaboration. However, in the “Jolene” intro “DOLLY P”, Dolly Parton says the following: “Hey Miss Honey B, it’s Dolly P. You know that hussy with the good hair? Reminds me of someone I used to know back when.” In the Telephone music video, Beyoncé’s character is named… you guessed it! Honey B. In May, when Lady Gaga is at her premiere of her concert film “Gaga Chromatica Ball”, a reporter tells her about these rumors about a potential Telephone continuation collaboration, Gaga says this: “You know what, whenever Beyoncé calls, I’d like to pick up the phone.” hinting at Beyoncé being the lead artist perhaps? 2025: In January 2025, Lady Gaga attends the Grammys, but doesn’t have any interaction with Beyoncé. I don’t know if this should be a hint per se but apparently the same thing happened with Bey and Miley? In February 2025, Lady Gaga takes a Vanity Fair lie detection test. The first question in the Career section is “The music video for your song ‘Telephone’ says to be continued at the end. Will it ever be continued?” Gaga replies yes (quite adamant when she’s had a lot of plans fall through in the past!), before the lie detector interviewer Stephanie (not Stefani!) replies “when?”. Gaga says “I don’t know” (of course she can’t say when act iii will be released). Stephanie says “will this person be in it?” and hands her a photo of Beyoncé… Gaga holds it up and says “maybe” (she knows what she’s doing). In March, Lady Gaga does a W Magazine ASMR video. In the video, she drinks Diet Coke (referring to the diet coke cans in her hair in the video) and holds a red telephone saying the two people she would have on speed dial is her partner Michael Polansky… and Beyoncé! Now, the MOST conclusive evidence we have is this. At a Spotify press conference, Lady Gaga is asked by a fan what’s the tea on Telephone Part 2 (it’s Paparazzi part 3 but I jest!). She replies with this: “The tea on Telephone part 2 is that there will be. But I’m not going to give it all away, you wouldn’t want that anyway! I think you should all call Beyoncé.” Now obviously Mayhem happened and nothing, which leads me to believe she was only talking about act iii. This is the second time she’s mentioned to call Beyoncé, leading me to believe she is talking about her featuring on act iii. In late March, Beyoncé performs the opening night of the Cowboy Carter tour. One of the interludes include Beyoncé in a room with graffiti holding a telephone. Two stills from the Telephone video appear in another interlude later in the show (a interlude showing all of her eras). In November 2025, a message from a fan to Gaga on screen at a Mayhem Ball date reads “you’ve been a very bad bad girl Gaga” with a bee emoji. Gaga replies “is that a Telephone request? xx gaga”. Why am I putting this on here, I hear you ask? The fan’s name and age was Giselle who’s 44. Beyoncé’s 44. Her middle name is Giselle. And finally… 2026: Today, February 16th 2026, Beyoncé posts a carousel of images on her Instagram. One with her holding a black telephone and another of her eating a burger (once you kill a cow, you gotta make a burger…)! Thank you all so much for reading, this took about a hour to write so I hope you enjoy!22 points

As we all remember, Beyoncé and Ivanka were seen sharing a table at a charity event within the past year. Many speculated that this was nothing more than the consequence of predetermined seating arrangements by the event organizer. Be that as it may, recent tweets suggest there may be something far more significant, perhaps even geopolitically SEISMIC, going on between the two. Insiders have speculated that Beyoncé’s forthcoming album is going to be her “most Chinese work to date” with many fans commenting on the progression from American hegemony to Chinese hegemony in the 21st century as an underlying message of many of the teasers, but also because one of Cowboy Carter’s most iconic images was the horse on the album cover, which may have been foreshadowing Beyoncé’s venture into Chinese culture just in time for 2026, the Year of the Fire Horse. Which brings me to my point about her potential collab with Ivanka Trump. Take a peek at her most recent tweet, highlighting the Chinese lunar New Year and specifically referencing the Year of the Fire Horse: Coincidence? I think not. What do y’all think? Is Ivanka stabbing her father in the back by jumping off the sinking ship of the American empire and joining Beyoncé in what will likely result in the coup de grâce of American soft power and the rise of the Chinese millennium? Discuss!20 points

Cardi B jokingly threatened to “jump” ICE agents if they popped out at her Little Miss Drama Tour shows. “B—h! If ICE comes in here, we gon’ jump they a—es,” she said, which drew applause. “I’ve got some bear mace in the back! They ain’t taking my fans, b—h.” “As long as she doesn’t drug and rob our agents, we’ll consider that an improvement over her past behavior,” the DHS wrote. Cardi B fired back on Thursday afternoon: “If we talking about drugs let’s talk about Epstein and friends drugging underage girls to rape them,” she clapped back on X. “Why yall don’t wanna talk about the Epstein files?” Source: https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/cardi-b-ice-homeland-security-1236179066/19 points

Just fyi, this account posts a lot of negative Gaga "news". It's also likely that she's been following Melania's account for years. It's also true that a follow isn't an endorsement. She's not above criticism but "Lady Maga"? C'mon, y'all18 points
