Lady Gaga will not be banned from speaking out about politics or Donald Trump during her upcoming Super Bowl half-time show, according to the NFL.


With her upcoming and coveted performance at the Super Bowl half-time show approaching, reports emerged that the NFL would censor the star by banning her by making any statements about politics or Trump. However, a spokesman has since denied this to TMZ.

“This is unsourced nonsense from people trying to stir up controversy where there is none,” they said. “The Super Bowl is a time when people really come together. Lady Gaga is focused on putting together an amazing show for fans and we love working with her on it; we aren’t going to be distracted by this.”

After Trump’s prospective First Lady used a recent speech to bemoan online bullying, Gaga accused her of hypocrisy. Tweeting at Melania, Gaga wrote: “to say u will stand for “anti-bullying” is hypocrisy. Your husband is 1 of the most notorious bullies we have ever witnessed.” Read more: Lady Gaga – the full NME cover interview She then tweeted at Donald Trump, writing: “you divided us with hateful language & fear.
