Lady Gaga ‘ARTPOP’ Act II NOT Happening Anymore: DJ White Shadow Speaks Out After Years of Hype

Just last week, Lady Gaga's long-time collaborator, DJ White Shadow, appeared to have teased fans about "ARTPOP Act II," which is the pop star's highly-anticipated sequel to her 2013 album. However, based on his recent statement, it appears that the project will not be moving forward.

The musician took to his official Instagram account to tell supporters that he will "no longer" talk about "ARTPOP," writing, "I am officially finished. Don't ask me about it. Don't talk to me about it."

The DJ, who worked with Gaga for her hit songs "The Edge of Glory," "Bloody Mary," "Born This Way," "Applause," and many more, did not give any context as to why he decided to abandon the project.

Gaga Daily also noted on Twitter that all of the posts about "ARTPOP" on the record producer's Instagram account had been deleted.

As of this writing, Lady Gaga has yet to comment on the matter.

Despite the announcement, many fans think DJ White Shadow's recent move is a hint that the project will indeed push through.

"Maybe I'm delusional, but I feel like this means something is actually coming," one wrote, while another one posted, "ARTPOP ACT II IS COMING!"
