In recent reports, Germanotta is said to be refusing to cough up $260,000 in rent and fees from his restaurant. The entertainer’s dad has told outlets the homeless population is hurting his business and is aksing to renegotiate his rent or to be release him from his lease. Being the father of Lady Gaga- it shouldnt be that hard to come up with the money, right? -After all his daughter is a winner of Grammy’s, Oscars, and Golden Globes. Besides, is not like he doesnt have the money himself.
However, the issue is kind of a big deal since Joe had to meet with an MTA board and talk about other issues like a rodent problem, poorly maintained restrooms and outdated seating.
But that’s not all for Mr. Germanotta, as he is also employed by his daughter, running House of Gaga Publishing, the company that handles publishing her music.
