Ava Max is speaking out about her rumored feud with Lady Gaga.
The American pop star, 31, has long been pitted against Gaga, 39, by music fans due to their strikingly similar looks.
Fans have also accused the Sweet but Psycho singer of copying Gaga’s signature dance-pop sound.
Seemingly fed up with the comparisons and chatter, Ava addressed the drama head on in the lyrics of her upcoming song, Don’t Click Play.
‘She samples, singing Gaga imitations. Can’t kings and queens look good with poker faces?’ she sings, referencing her own hit Kings & Queens and Gaga’s classic smash Poker Face.
‘But I’m loving myself even if you hate it,’ adds Ava.
The song has already caused quite the stir online, with fans from both sides weighing in on the issue.
‘She’s flopping so she needs to mention Gaga AGAIN. Work on new sounds, Ms Ava,’ commented one.

‘I like Gaga, but her fans can be unbearable. They act as if the world revolves around her, while constantly throwing shade at Ava on Twitter and YouTube,’ wrote another.
A third added, ‘Way to stay relevant. While Gaga doesn’t need to name drop or address anyone to stay relevant in the game.’
Another wrote, ‘Not being mean but do people actually compare her to Gaga? I think Ava is very talented I just haven’t really seen anyone comparing specifically to Gaga.’
This isn’t the first time that Ava has addressed the comparisons between herself and the Born This Way singer.
In 2023 she told Nylon, ‘No matter how many haters there are out there, or people who want to bring you down — or people who think I’m a Lady Gaga comparison, which is huuuh-larious.
‘Who doesn’t love Gaga?! I can’t help that I look like this. I was born the way I was born too!’ she continued.
‘I can’t help that I’m 5-foot-2 as well. Like what do they want me to do, dye my hair black?! I did that, and then they started comparing me to Dua! You can’t win.’
Last year, both Ava and Gaga went viral on social media after fans noticed how similar the two pop stars look.

Ava’s recent singles, including Wet Hot American Summer, have failed to crack the pop charts
The confusion began when Gaga posted a closeup photo of her made-up face on Instagram to promote her Haus Labs line of liquid eyeliner.
The photo was a hit with fans, but several commenters were shocked at how similar the singer and actress — Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta — looked to Ava.
Ava is best known for her hits Sweet but Psycho, Kings & Queens, and My Head & My Heart.
However, her career seems to have taken a downturn over the last year.
The Wisconsin-born songstress has struggled to crack the charts with all the singles from her upcoming third album, Don’t Click Play.
Her last track, Wet Hot American Summer, only reached 2.2 million views on YouTube despite its provocative music video.
