Duncan Jones, the son of late rock legend David Bowie, appears to have commented on Lady Gaga's special tribute at Monday night's Grammy Awards.
Should Lady Gaga Come Back For Season 6 Of 'American Horror Story'?
Jones did not tweet anything directly against Gaga, but his message after her performance at the Grammys is being taken as a diss.
"overexcited or irrational, typically as a result of infatuation or excessive enthusiasm; mentally confused." Damn it! What IS that word!?

This is literally the definition of "gaga," and the parts about being "mentally confused" and "irrational" are being interpreted as Jones slamming the pop star.

@LadyTeapots @HausOfJonnathan @ManMadeMoon it was horrible - sorry. GG is talented but that "tribute" missed the spirit of Bowie entirely

@ManMadeMoon How terrible of you. How could you be so rude to someone who looked up to your dad and did her best when she was called to act?

@ManMadeMoon I'm just gonna say it was awful & leave it at that.

@Snippetygiblets I'm 100% sure it was well meant, but if your heart belongs to an artist, nobody will do them justice. I feel for you.
