From Clutch magazine:

Well, well, well. Seems the pop star the media accuses everyone of copying has been called out for being a copycat by one of her very own idols. Grace Jones not only called Lady Gaga a copycat, the singer, model and muse also refused to perform with her.

In a rare interview with the Guardian, Jones says, “I just don’t play with other acts a rule.” When asked if Gaga copies her, the infamous muse admits, “Well you know, I’ve seen some things she’s worn that I’ve worn, and that does kind of piss me off.”

When asked if Gaga is talented, the 61-year-old star reveals, “I wouldn’t go to see her.” On thinking of Gaga, “I really don’t think of her at all. I go about my business.”
