Career [edit]
Gibson rose to public prominence as the star of MTV's Making the Band and P. Diddy and Mark Burnett’s Starmaker series. Gibson was also a "Fly Girl" on the popular TV series In Living Color.
Following her training at the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Gibson went from theatre dance to hip hop, becoming director of choreography for Motown Records and Bad Boy Records.[citation needed]. She has worked with Michael Jackson, Alicia Keys and Beyoncé. She has also done choreography for the movies Alfie and Honey, in which she also appeared as star Jessica Alba's dance nemesis. In 2012, Gibson directed BIGBANG's World Tour.[citation needed]
In November 2011, Lady Gaga ended her professional relationship with Gibson due to "creative differences". Gibson's idea of creativity was close to that of a gorilla's and "needed adjusting". Gaga's words on the split were, "I need an extraordinaire, not a 'kacking' monkey who thinks [she] can dance."[citation needed]
