Lady Gaga faces criticism after teaming up with Pfizer to promote migraine drugInternational artist, Lady GagaInternational artist Lady Gaga is facing criticism after she teamed up with Pfizer to promote the anti-migraine drug Nurtec.The singer’s paid partnership with the pharmaceutical giant was met with backlash from fans, who criticized the ad and accused Gaga of selling out for money.”Health care is a human right, not a commodity to be exploited for the sake of greed and wealth. I know you are compassionate, intelligent and think things through. I hope you will show that through the ways you use your platform and privilege to move forward. This is not her,” one fan wrote.The backlash began when the “Bad Romance” singer announced her big pharma sponsorship on Instagram on Tuesday, sharing a photo of herself performing on stage with the Nurtec logo in the top corner, PageSix writes.”Since childhood, I have faced migraine pains. When I tried Nurtec ODT (rimegepant) 75 mg for the first time, I will never forget that I wish I had found it sooner. That is why I am proud to be a partner with Nurtec ODT. We are in this together,” she wrote in the caption.Gaga also appeared in a TV ad for the drug, which featured the founder of Haus Labs as an “actual patient”.Amid the overwhelmingly negative reaction to the ad, others came to the pop star’s defense and brought up her struggles with chronic illness.The “Joker: Folie a Deux” actress has been candid in the past about her diagnosis with fibromyalgia, a chronic illness she said causes “severe pain” and led to previous tour cancellations.
