Pop titan Lady GaGa is proving ever-potent.

Don’t believe? Check her receipts!

VEVO readily assists with the task, for the media giant honored the 28-year-old recent for having a whopping ten videos that have reached the 100 million views mark and been deemed “VEVO Certified”.

In an interesting move, the visual platform invited fans to present Mother Monster with her awards and also quizzed her on her iconic videos and most recent solo album ‘ARTPOP’.

When there are buttons to be pressed be sure to know that Azealia Banks is there to press them.

With an arsenal of 140 characters, Twitter has become a war zone for the rap diva’s antics and oft-controversial thoughts on everything – especially social issues.  While fans were still in her corner after her emotional Hot 97 interview, some of them have seen their support wane as the ‘Broke With Expensive Taste’ beauty continues to offer random rants on the social media site.

This weekend alone she sparred with Lupe Fiasco (who also found himself in a Twitter tussle with Kid Cudi) and fans who did not support her unceremonious slamming of Christianity.
