THE latest album of US singer Lady Gaga titled ‘Born This Way’, has been banned by Lebanon’s General Security for being ‘offensive to Christianity’, The Daily Star, a Lebanese newspaper reported.
Citing unconfirmed reports, the paper said a shipment of the album to Lebanon was reportedly impounded immediately by General Security upon delivery to the country last week.
News reports said the track ‘Judas’ in the album has been met with opposition by religious groups. The single, in which Gaga sings “I’m just a holy fool, oh baby he’s so cruel/But I’m still in love with Judas’, was taken off of Lebanese radio playlists in April.
Lady Gaga sold more than one million copies of the album in its first week of release to top the US pop chart for the first time, according to trade reports.
As many as 1.11 million copies of her release were sold online through Amazon.com Inc, reports said.
