A representative for the Grammy-winning singer said on Wednesday that both sides "came to a mutual agreement to end their overall exclusive partnership a few weeks ago."

In February, it was reported that Target would be selling a deluxe edition of the album, set to be released on May 23, including bonus content.

Gay advocates were concerned about the partnership, citing Target's donations to a political candidate who was against gay marriage. Gaga, 24, told Billboard that their relationship with the retail giant was tied to their "reform," supporting the gay community and making up for past "mistakes."

"The Advocate" reported Tuesday that the "Born This Way" singer wasn't comfortable with the idea and ended it.

Lady Gaga's new hit single "Born this Way" has reached the top of music charts and her sophomore album is due out this May.
