Calvin Harris is not anti-women, he just didn't have time for Lady Gaga

  • November 7, 2012
  • Brad O'Mance

Calvin Harris has been chatting away about this whole 'feud' thing with Lady Gaga that happened a few weeks ago.

Basically, it's all fine now, but MTV wanted to ask him about it all again and this is what he had to say for himself:

"It's inter­est­ing because the actual thing that happened [Harris being asked to remix some of her songs, pre-'Just Dance' pop­ular­ity] happened four years ago and people have known about it for that amount of time. It was on Wikipedia and then the actual thing that happened was the label emailed me and asked me for a remix of any of these like five tracks," Harris explained.

"And I wasn't in the studio at the time, I was busy. So I was like, 'Oh, you know, I can't do it'."

Asked about the fact that Gaga accused him of sug­gest­ing she couldn't write her own songs because she's a female human and whether this made him anti-women, he replied:

"I couldn't work with any more girls. The first record I did was Kylie Minogue. Yeah, I've worked with tons of girls."
