Their 2012 fallout has been well-documented after Madonna called her music 'reductive'.

And now Lady Gaga has addressed the fallout head on in her new Netflix documentary Gaga: Five Foot Two, admitting she wished the Queen of Pop would tell her she's a 'piece of s***' to her face rather than insulting her on TV.

The Million Reasons hitmaker, 31, has slammed the 59-year-old icon on her for choosing to criticise her through the media rather than dealing with any friction between them in a face-to-face showdown.
Gaga explained: 'The thing with me and Madonna, for example, is that I admired her always and I still admire her no matter what she might think of me. No, I do.

'The only thing that really bothers me about her is that I'm Italian and from New York so, like, if I got a problem with somebody, I'm gonna tell you to your face.

Adding: 'But no matter how much respect I have for her as a performer, I could never wrap my head around the fact that she wouldn't look me in the eye and tell me that I was reductive or whatever... No no no, like I saw it on f***ing TV.

'Telling me that you think I'm a piece of s*** through the media - it's like a guy passing me a note through his friend: "My buddy thinks you're hot, here's his..." F*** you! Where's your buddy f***ing throwing up against the wall and kissing me?'.

Gaga - who was born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta - said that if Madonna has any issues with her or her music, she should have the courage to address the problem head-on.

Speaking in her newly released Netflix documentary, she said: 'I just want Madonna to f**king push me up against the wall and kiss me and tell me I'm a piece of s**t.'

Their budding friendship soured after a promising start in 2009 and in the led up to her new documentary, Gaga revealed in a teaser clip the explanation behind what went wrong between the two.

'The thing with, like, me and Madonna, for example, is that I admired her always. And I still admire her no matter what she may think of me,' the blond tells a friend as they sit on the floor.
Truly a tease, fans will have to wait until the documentary is released to Netflix on September 22.

When Gaga first burst on the music scene, she and Madonna seemed chummy, posing together at a 2009 Marc Jacobs fashion show.

Of the experience, Gaga told Extra: 'I love Madonna, she's even more wonderful in person than I had imagined. She's such a beautiful woman.'

The ladies even went on to have a pretend cat fight for a skit on Saturday Night Live in October of the same year.

Gaga gushed of working with her idol: 'Madonna's such a pleasure to work with and she's so wonderfully amazing. We had a blast. We were laughing. It was great too because it was our idea to do the whole fight scene

'We thought it would be funny to answer the obvious question that everyone would be wondering...and we get along famously.'

However, relations between the pair went south after Gaga was accused of copying Madonna's song Express Yourself on her 2011 single Born This Way.
When asked by ABC News about the similarities, which were pointed out by many fans on the internet, Madge called the singer 'reductive.'

'Is that good?,' reporter Cynthia McFadden shot back to the short answer.

'Look it up,' the pop queen responded with a sly smile while taking a sip from her tea cup.

Madonna went on to mash up Born This Way with her own 1989 hit that Gaga was accused of copying on her MDNA Tour in 2012.

The ladies appeared to kiss and make up the following year when they were spotted posing together at the Met Gala in a social media photo with Katy Perry, seemingly attempting to prove there was harmony in the pop diva land.

However, in 2016 when Beats 1 Radio DJ Zane Lowe implied to Gaga that she and Madonna had very similar background stories, Gaga seemed annoyed by the comparison that has followed her through her career.
