Lady Gaga is under fire for her collaboration with Pfizer to promote the migraine medication Nurtec. Fans have expressed disappointment in the partnership between the pop star and pharmaceutical company, accusing Lady Gaga of prioritizing financial gain over her previous beliefs. Some fans believe that healthcare should be a basic human right and not something to be exploited for profit. They hope that Lady Gaga will use her platform and privilege in a more compassionate and thoughtful manner in the future.
Fans are expressing their discontent with the recent partnership between the singer known for “Bad Romance” and the pharmaceutical company Pfizer. Criticism erupted when the 37-year-old artist announced a collaboration with Pfizer on Instagram, sharing a photo from a performance with Nurtec’s logo visible in the corner. Lady Gaga revealed her struggles with migraines since childhood and expressed gratitude for discovering Nurtec® ODT. She emphasized her pride in partnering with the medication. Lady Gaga’s involvement in a TV commercial for the drug further sparked backlash, with her being portrayed as a “real patient” in pain from migraines. The commercial claimed that Nurtec ODT is a unique treatment that can alleviate migraine pain even during an attack. This is not the first time the singer has faced fan backlash. Previously, she was criticized for prioritizing her pet dog over a person who sacrificed their life to save it due to her choice of costume that some found insensitive or sacrilegious.
