At the time, she started performing in clubs around New York under the name Lady Gaga and word quickly got around, prompting a group of her Tisch classmates to create a Facebook group titled ‘Stefani Germanotta, you will never be famous’. In the closed group, they mocked her for chasing her dreams and laughed at the prospect of her ever becoming famous.
Now, Gaga – a world famous music and actor – has reacted to the now-deleted Facebook group after screenshots of it began surfacing on TikTok. She commented on a TikTok video about the group, writing: “Some people I went to college [with] made this way back when. This is why you can’t give up when people doubt you or put you down—gotta keep going.”

The second slide of the TikTok post Gaga commented on includes a list of all of her accolades, which includes one Oscar, 13 Grammys, three Brits, two Golden Globles, 18 VMAs, 10 Guinness world records and various other. Gaga has also won four NME Awards throughout the course of her career.
Lady Gaga has long been teasing her highly anticipated seventh studio album, and recently confirmed that the record’s first single will be arriving sometime next month. Earlier this month, she was spotted filming something in the Louvre, leading fans to believe that it was for a music video for her seventh album.
Gaga will next appear in Joker: Folie à Deux alongside Joaquin Phoenix. In a four-star review of the film for NME, Matthew Turner wrote: “Phoenix is fantastic once again as Arthur, delivering a compelling and remarkably physical performance that teeters on the edge of insanity throughout – it’s simultaneously chilling and unexpectedly moving. Lady Gaga is equally good as Harleen, sparking palpably insane chemistry with Phoenix.”
