Pop diva slammed in $30 million lawsuit by ex-boy friend/producer.

Lady Gaga, real name Stefani Germanotta, was named in $30.5 million lawsuit against the Grammy Award-winner by Rob Fusari.

Fusarfi's suit charges his protégé lover gave him the old "heave ho" once she hit the big time.

Prior to going Gaga,  Fusari had credits on hits like Will Smith's "Wild, Wild West" and Destiny's Child's "Bootylicious

According to the lawsuit, Fusari was  "radically reshaping her approach," and had persuaded her to drop rock riffs for dance beats.

Gaga's legal eagles have not yet responded to the suit but in a interview to AP in 2009 Lady G claimed "I was Gaga from the time that I was 19.

"I was always that way ... I stuck out like a sore thumb."
