The eccentric pop star demanded a bizarre array of items for her performance at the ceremony – including the dangerous big cat – in an attempt to “upstage” every other pop star attending.
A source said: “It sparked a war backstage as Gaga was clearly trying to upstage the biggest acts. While the likes of Beyonce Knowles kept their riders simple, Lady Gaga wanted to make a grand entrance.
“As well as a plush dressing room with all the usual demands of champagne and fluffy towels, she wanted a jungle animal.
“Her people left a list of companies which provide tamed, trained lions and a formal request was lodged with VMA organisers.”
However, the ‘Poker Face’ singer’s demands were ignored as the 23-year-old blonde walked down the red carpet alone in a dramatic long black dress with a high feather neck and black and gold eye patch.
The source added: “There were obvious health and safety concerns.”
Wow…it so a dangerous mind my lady
