In late November 2013, a fan with the twitter name "katyslaysurfav" tweeted to Lady Gaga, asking her to unblock them. Apparently the fan had been blocked for "spreading negativity". This
tweet in turn was quoted/retweeted by another twitter user called "katyslays".
Seemingly Lady Gaga noticed this, and responded to the tweet. She told the fan that they should change their name - telling them that "it's not a competition" and that "it's music and meant to be beautiful". She ended the tweet with "we could belong together", referencing her song "Artpop".
Twitter user "TheOneRitz" challenged Lady Gaga's response, saying to her "if their names were GagaSlaysUrFav you wouldn't be saying SHIT and you know it".
Lady Gaga seemed to disagree, and responded by saying "that is absolutely not true. Anyone using this kind of language, that is a fan, is not standing by me".
By the May of 2014 however, she seemed to have forgetten this statement, and tweeted a picture & link to her "little monsters" website, of her wearing a t-shirt with "SLAY" printed on it. This t-shirt was part of the merchandise for her "ARTRAVE" tour.
This of course was completely at odds with what she had said before, telling a fan that they should change their "slay" name, and that "it's not a competition" and "it's music and meant to be beautiful". So, yet again, Lady Gaga gave her fanbase a completely hypocritical & contradictory mixed-up message.
