"  Lady Gaga&amp;#039;s former manager Troy Carter has opened up about being sacked by the star. Carter - who is credited with Gaga&amp;#039;s rise to global fame - admitted that he wasn&amp;#039;t prepared for the ousting, which happened on the eve of the release of her ARTPOP album last November. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s like you wake up and you work with somebody every day, and then all of a sudden they&amp;#039;re not there anymore,&amp;quot; he told Fast Company. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t think you&amp;#039;re ever prepared to sever that deep of a relationship.&amp;quot; Recalling when the pair first met, he explained: &amp;quot;She walked in with these huge sunglasses on, fishnet stockings, and basically told me how she was going to change the game. &amp;quot;She was a performance artist calling herself Lady Gaga, who had a European dance-club sound and pop-star aspirations - elements that historically haven&amp;#039;t mixed. Def Jam Records had just dropped her. I believed her.&amp;quot; Meanwhile, Gaga recently claimed that she has been &amp;quot;gravely mismanaged&amp;quot; around her latest record and feels &amp;quot;betrayed&amp;quot; by her Haus of Gaga team.
