Lady GaGa: 'My ex wanted me to fail'

Lady GaGa has revealed that her ex-boyfriend told her she would never succeed in the music industry.

In an interview with Cosmopolitan, the 'Bad Romance' singer explained that her partner had said that he wanted her to fail.

"I had a boyfriend who told me I'd never succeed, never be nominated for a Grammy, never have a hit song, and that he hoped I'd fail," she said. "I said to him, 'Someday when we're not together, you won't be able to order a cup of coffee at the f**king deli without hearing or seeing me'."

GaGa admitted that she had struggled to succeed in the music business, adding that she "ate s**t for so long".

"I've always been delusionally ambitious to the point where people don't understand me," she added.
