MANHATTAN — Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" with her former boyfriend and producer who sued her for $30 million has ended with a legal settlement, according to news reports.

Rob Fusari, who help launch the Manhattan-native pop megastar and dated her back when she was known as Stefani Germanotta, sued her in March claiming he was owed a share of her earnings.

According to the lawsuit, Fusari claims he was owed up to 20 percent of Gaga's earnings, but that he had only gotten a check for $209,000, the New York Post reported.

The day after that lawsuit was filed, Gaga fired back with a suit of her own, claiming the deal was illegal and asked a judge to void it, the Post said.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
