T.I. has described Lady Gaga as a “phenomenal talent” that transcends different races and religions.
The US singer came under fire last month when she showcased a host of religious imagery and symbolism in her new music video.
But in an interview with MTV, T.I. said Lady Gaga was able to bring people together.
"She's a phenomenal talent, and I think that talent transcends through all genres, all races, all religions, all countries," he said.
"I believe that that's one thing that everybody can agree on. If you like a song and I like a song, then we going to both dance and all that here together.
"I think that that's what she's the best example of."
Lady Gaga has recorded vocals on a song from the rapper's forthcoming new album.
Meanwhile, as previously reported on Gigwise, Lady Gaga has come forth on Forbes magazine's annual Power list.
