Pop
songstress Stefani "Lady Gaga" Germanotta rallied her Twitter following
to pray for the college students killed in a Brazilian nightclub Saturday.
After learning of the tragedy Sunday afternoon, Gaga tweeted a picture of her
in a prayer post along with messages "My heart is with you Brazil"
and "Sending my prayers to the families and friends who lost loved one in the fire in Brazil. I'm thinking of you today during this
tragedy."
Reuters
reported that 233 people were killed in a Santa Maria's Kiss nightclub after
the pyrotechnic light show during a band's performance set the ceiling on fire.
The fire created toxic fumes which asphyxiated club goers, many of whom were
college students.
The club was
reportedly operating illegally and lacked functioning fire extinguishers and
clear exit signs. Additionally the body guards refused to let patrons out
believing that they were trying to leave without paying for their drinks.
Gaga was
alerted to the tragedy after a blogger tweeted "A Little Monster died in a
tragedy here in Brazil! His name is Luiz Felipe! Mother Monster Pray for him!
@ladygaga #PrayForSantaMaria +181"
This is not
the first time Gaga urged her fans - whom she refers to as "little
monsters"- to partake in Christian act. The former Catholic school student
seemingly encouraged fans to embrace abstinence when she told journalists in
Germany "I think young kids should wait as long as they can before they
have sex."
However Gaga
said she said to wait to have sex with "someone who really loves you"
rather than marriage.
Gaga's
picture of her praying was retweeted 45,000 times of 11:00 Monday morning.
