Lady Gaga's music has reportedly been banned in China following her meeting with the Dalai Lama.
The singer met with His Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama, at the US Conference of Mayors in Indianapolis over the weekend for a talk called 'The Global Significance of Building Compassionate Cities: Kindness Makes it Happen' but the meeting is said to have angered officials in China.
Hong Kong's pro-democracy newspaper Apple Daily reported that the propaganda department of China's Communist party has now issued "an important instruction" banning her music in the country.
Although China's Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei refused to comment on the claims, he said: "The purpose of [the Dalai Lama's] visits and activities in other countries is just to promote his proposal for Tibetan independence. We hope that people from the international community can be fully aware of his true colours and nature."
