Gaga’s Album Banned

Shova Shrestha,
Kumaripati, 6 June

Lady Gaga's new album has been banned from sale in Lebanon, according to a UK report.

Her new release Born This Way on May 11 had topped charts across the world, even breaking digital sales records in the US. However, it’s sale has reportedly been stopped in Lebenon after officials in the conservative Middle Eastern country impounded a shipment of the CDs on moral grounds, according to Britain’s The Sun.

The publication reports the disc was deemed ‘offensive’ by officials, just week after her track Judas was taken off air by radio bosses in the mostly-Muslim country.

Gaga’s Judas has previously came under fire from a number of Christian groups, who have been angered by the lyrics and has use of religious imagery in the video.
