She said that because her people told her to say that. It's much like Diana Ross and The Jacksons saying that Diana found them when several other people presented The Jacksons to Barry Gordy before he finally signed them. Diana was used to get The Jacksons credibility even though she had nothing to do with them being signed to Motown. Which is exactly what they were doing with Gaga and Akon.
