Lady Gaga has been reportedly banned from China, after a meeting with religious leader Dalai Lama.

The singer is one of the most popular western musicians in mainland China.

Lady Gaga made the blacklist of "hostile foreign forces" banned by China’s Communist Party when she met Dalai Lama to discuss yoga, meditation and mental health.

The meeting took place on Monday. The 19-minute video of the meeting, watched more than 3 million times, can be found here.

Chinese media was ordered to stop uploading or distributing Gaga’s music. The media was also advised to criticise the meeting and speak ill of the Dalai Lama, according to the Guardian.

Report of the Dalai Lama’s meeting with Lady Gaga appeared to have been deleted from the NetEase Cloud Music website, the day after the meeting took place.

Gaga and Dalai Lama have been criticised in Weibo, the Chinese equivalent of Facebook, with users saying the singer didn’t take her Chinese fans into consideration when booking the meeting.

Many have condemned Lady Gaga, asking whether she is "stupid" or "ignorant" of Chinese political sensitivity.

One person with the username Svaniscono7 accused her of causing controversy to stay relevant in a waning market, according to the BBC.

"The political depths this turtle will go to, to stay ashore.”

The Dalai Lama fled Tibet into exile in India in March 1959 during the Tibetan Uprising, and has been heavily criticised by the Chinese Communist Party ever since.

Many artists and bands, such as Bob Dylan, Miley Cyrus, Oasis, Maroon 5 and Jay-Z, have been banned from entering China after meeting the Dalai Lama or showing sympathy to the cause of Tibetan independence.

Lady Gaga has not yet commented on the ban.
