Lady Gaga Criticizes Music Piraters, Then Gets Shaded By Shutterstock For Piracy
Lady Gaga went to Twitter to call out some of her “Little Monsters” after they listened to a leaked version of her potential next single, “Stupid Love.” “Can y’all stop” Lady Gaga wrote with a picture of a girl in a ski mask listening to music. Unfortunately, the photo she used had the Shutterstock watermark on it, which means she was using an unauthorized version of the photo from the photo site Shutterstock.

Catching the irony of the situation, Shutterstock tweeted to Gaga to let her know that she was doing a similar action by posting that photo. They wrote, “We hear you! We like artists to be paid for their work too. Here’s a link to the photographer’s work where you can license these quality images,” with a winking emoji at the end.

Of course, Lady Gaga’s passionate and protective fanbase was not a fan of Shutterstock’s tweet and they attacked. See their sassy tweets below.
