Target came under fire after it was reported that it donated funds to several anti-gay politicians and organizations.
Gaga had agreed to work with Target but explained to Billboard magazine in February.
“Part of my deal with Target is that they have to start affiliating themselves with LGBT charity groups and begin to reform and make amends for the mistakes they’ve made in the past,” New York Post quoted Gaga as telling The Advocate.
A rep for Gaga said, “Lady Gaga and Target came to a mutual decision to end their overall exclusive partnership.” (ANI)
