Madonna reignites Born This Way spat

Madonna has taken a fresh swipe at Lady Gaga, insisting she "helped" to write hit track Born This Way.

Gaga sparked controversy when she released the song last year (11) as several critics noticed similarities with Madonna's 1989 single Express Yourself.

The Material Girl later admitted she also heard a resemblance between the two songs, and she is currently performing a cheeky mash-up of the two tracks on her MDNA tour dates.

Now she has taken another sly swipe at the Poker Face star.

Speaking on a Brazilian TV show, Madonna says, "I'm a really big fan of (Born This Way). I'm glad that I helped Gaga write it."
