Lady Gaga is extremely famous, and she has been extremely famous for almost 20 years now. But when she was first trying to get famous — back when she was still known by her government name Stefani Germanotta — some of her former NYU classmates evidently started a Facebook post called “Stefani Germanotta, you will never be famous.” This raises a lot of questions. For instance: Is this a thing that people do? Was Lady Gaga just incredibly irritating in college? Are all of her ex-classmates simply assholes?

If you want to make sure someone gets extremely famous, the best thing that you could possibly do is start a Facebook group called “[This person], you will never be famous.” Considering that NYU might have a longer list of famous alumni than any other college in America, these people really showed their ass. Now, Gaga has commented on a TikTok post about that Facebook group, writing, “this is why you can’t give up when people doubt you or put you down — gotta keep going.”

Lady Gaga’s Bruno Mars duet “Die With A Smile” is currently the #6 song in America, and Joker: Folie À Deux opens in theaters next month. She kept going.
