AceShowbiz - Grace Jones wasn't really excited about meeting Lady GaGa. The Jamaican singer recently told Bevy Smith on SiriusXM's Bevelations that she didn't feel any chemistry during their first meeting.
"GaGa came to me, and I just could not find a soul," Jones told Smith. The 67-year-old singer then related what she felt to her church visit. She said, "I come from church - maybe that has something to do with it. I like to get to the soul of a person. I just didn't feel a soul." However, Jones didn't think that the "Born This Way" singer was soulless. "She might have been freaked out with meeting me," she explained.
Jones also accused GaGa of "stealing" designer Philip Treacy. "This happened. It's okay, but then we met three times after, through Treacy and, boy, I got so angry," she recalled. "I know Philip needed to make some money, but you know what, can you just wait until I finish my tour before you repeat what we are working on?"
At the end of her memoir "I'll Never Write My Memoirs", Jones claimed that a number of modern pop stars like Rihanna, GaGa and Miley Cyrus were "already being like me." In addition to the aforementioned pop stars, Jones claimed Kanye West copied her iconic photo shoot. She told Paper magazine in its October issue, "Kanye has been ripping off stuff from me and Jean-Paul Goude for a long time, so it was no surprise to me."
