Instead, some of the people around Gaga thought she shouldn’t be working with other artists. They thought that she was taking too much spotlight, She told the outlet. “Just as I realized this chatter was happening, Gaga fired me. In an email. I’m not even sure she wrote it herself,” Gibson added.
“Working with Gaga was undoubtedly a very exciting time for me because, prior to that, I had done ‘Making the Band.’ I had worked with Missy Elliott, the Jonas Brothers, The Dixie Chicks. I had worked with the greats.” Gibson told pagesix.
In the book, Gibson offers a step-by-step guide to living out your vision. ‘Because when it comes to being who God created you to be, it’s always your time to shine’, Gibson writes.
