Lady Gaga, who celebrated the release of her third album, 'Born This Way,' this week, has become a musical icon with millions of records sold and legions of fans watching her every move. However, while her "little monsters" give her all the credit for her creativity and vision, rapper Wale is claiming he's responsible for her success.

Gaga appeared on Wale's debut single 'Chillin,' released in 2009, which he noted was one of her break-out moments. "I made her whole career," Wale joked to MTV's RapFix.

The D.C. native recalled the memory of recording with the then marginally successful, New Yorker as an unforgettable moment. "It's one of those things; it's a moment that I hold near and dear to me, 'cause she's probably the most famous person in this generation right now," he said. "I don't think she'd probably ever get on a rap record again."
