The clip, published on TMZ, also shows Gaga writhing around naked. It has been criticised for glamorising rape.

The video was shot at the end of last year and had been due for release in December, but Gaga blamed the video’s delay on people who “gravely mismanaged [her] time and health”.Image:Richardson is seen in the video too

But now it is being reported that she may have been concerned about the reaction to her collaborating with Kelly, who has been the subject of allegations of assaults against minors.

The video was also directed by infamous photographer Terry Richardson, who has been accused of coercing models into 𝑠e𝑥ual activity. He denies any inappropriate activity.

The song Do What U Want was the second single from Gaga’s Artpop album, which reached number one in the UK.

Gaga is known for her provocative style and has a dedicated following of fans, but has seen a dip in popularity in recent months.
