L.A. Reid says he’s stoked the NFL tapped Lady Gaga for the Super Bowl LI halftime show … despite the fact he once DROPPED her from his record label.
True story.
Back in 2006, Reid 86′d Gaga from Epic Records … and now calls it “the biggest mistake of my career.”
He recently explained the whole situation to FOX 5 saying, “I feel a little bad about it. I do. I feel bad. I signed her. She comes in, she plays the piano, she’s incredible, she sings, I sign her, I tell her she’s going to change music. A couple of months later I say, maybe I wasn’t right. Maybe I don’t like this so much and I make the biggest mistake of my career. I dropped Lady Gaga.”
Good news … they managed to move past it — and he’s still a huge fan.
