Kanye West had no idea what the song Poker Face by Lady Gaga meant, was shocked to know the controversial meaning behind it

“Really controversial” – Remember When Kanye West Revealed How He Had No Clue About the Hidden Meaning Behind Lady Gaga’s Hit Song Poker Face?

Kanye West was shaken to know the meaning behind Poker Face by Lady Gaga. The
artist who is currently under heavy criticism for his opinions is also known for
being a musical genius himself. While the hip-hop artists’ songs revolve around
capitalism, minimalism, and political ideas, Gaga’s songs also have their own
unique meanings regarding self-reflections and relations.



The 36-year-old singer first released the single hit Poker Face in 2008 and it
became one of the biggest songs, topping charts for weeks, not only in the US
but around the world. While the song is super glamorous and catchy, there is
more to it than meets the eye. West was gleefully surprised to know the real
meaning behind the song.


WHAT DID KANYE WEST ONCE SAY ABOUT LADY GAGA AND HER SONG, POKER FACE?

West, who is known for his own creativity in music, was shocked to know the
meaning behind Lady Gaga’s song Poker Face once. Back in 2009, the artist gave
an interview
[https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/kanye-west-shocked-learned-meaning-lady-gagas-poker-face.html/]
where he talked about hearing the song live and said, “All the backstory to the
song is really controversial. When I found out that her actual song is about her
making love to her boyfriend but really thinking about her girlfriend, I was
like, ‘Oh that’s crazy.” Ye liked the fact that Gaga challenges people through
her music with underlying messages.

Ye even sampled her music piece to make Make Her Say along with Kid Cudi, and
liked the song’s beats as well. He had never heard of the acoustic version and
was surprised to know that the song was actually about a s*xual lesbian fantasy.
He also thought that the way the word Poker is used in the song is similar to
the hip-hop style.

heart. While Cudi’s Make Her Say was not such a big hit, it was still well
received.

At present, West is embroiled in controversies and gearing up for the next
presidential election. Meanwhile, Lady Gaga is revelling in her song, Bloody
Mary, making a Spotify record
