Lady GaGa Praises Kanye West As She Cover's Rapper Song - Video

Lady GaGa described Kanye West as one of the “most talent and intuitive” people she has ever met during a performance in Toronto on Friday.

The singer stopped her performance to speak about the rapper, with whom she is scheduled to tour later this year.

After performing a short cover of West's hit 'Heatless' – see below – Lady GaGa said: “So did you hear about the Kanye tour?”

“I would say Kanye is one of the most talented and intuitive people I’ve known in a long time.”

West and Lady Gaga are due to co-headline a North American tour, which will get under way in the autumn. Dates have yet to be announced.

As previously reported on Gigwise, Lady GaGa shocked fans at the MuchMusic awards in Toronto on Sunday wearing a leather corset complete with in-built pyrotechnics.
