Songwriter and music producer Rob Fusari is suing his ex-girlfriend Lady Gaga for a staggering $30.5 million. He claims that Gaga hasn’t been paying him proper shares for all he’s done for her career.
Rob Fusari met Lady Gaga in 2006 and had a huge impact on her career. He co-wrote songs on her smash debut album Fame Monster, including the hit “Paparazzi.” He also claims that he helped her change from Stefani Germanotta to the wild Lady Gaga we know today.

Thirty million may sound like a lot, but Lady Gaga has sold over 3 million albums and had numerous tours. Rob Fusari isn’t just some ex-boyfriend wanting revenge. He also co-wrote “Bootylicious” for Destiny’s Child, so he knows what he’s doing.
