Lady Gaga politely extinguishes the Chainsmokers' diss
The Chainsmokers' inexplicable success is matched by the public's unfiltered loathing towards the electronic duo because, well, they seem like huge jerks.
Still, a couple dudes bragging about banging models as they get used to fame and fortune is, sadly, par for the course. But dissing Rihanna and Lady Gaga on your way up? That's taking things too far.
But don't worry -- Mother Monster's here to put them in their place.

The drama began when The Chainsmokers' Alex Pall offered his take on Gaga's "Perfect Illusion" in a recent Rolling Stone profile, saying, "It sucks."

"I agree," Pall conceded, searching in the depths of his skull for a more nuanced argument. "And a lot of talented people worked on that song. But . . ."
The comments, of course, sparked a Twitter party.
