There's a big crack in Lady Gaga's claim that she spent 72 hours in the infamous egg that made her Grammy Awards' arrival a sensation.

The 24-year-old Born This Way singer appeared on KIIS FM's On Air with Ryan Seacrest on Tuesday morning and she told listeners she spent 72 hours in the egg.

The problem: RadarOnline.com has discovered she had only 30 minutes of oxygen!

But that didn't stop the talented Poker Face singer from getting creative with her story.

"I was in there for about 72 hours, and it was a very creative experience, and it was time for me to prepare and really think about the meaning of [Born This Way] and get prepared for the performance," Gaga said on Seacrest's show.

"I really wanted to be born on stage."

It's a great story, but scrambles the truth, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.

"The tank at the Grammy's only had 30 minutes worth of oxygen in it so Gaga's full of it for saying she was in that egg for hours!" a source close to the singer told RadarOnline.com exclusively.

What's more, the  company working for the Staples Center on Sunday that assisted Gaga is still waiting for the performer to return the oxygen equipment that let her breathe in her egg capsule.

Even though she didn't live in the egg for three days, Gaga still thrilled everyone, as usual!

I find her weirdness so yesterday . Everything she does has been done before by people that were more talented than she. She is not creative, IMHO, she just copies other artists( form the past) and then calls it her own.

Lady GaGa is starting to show signs that she thinks she's all that. She takes herself too seriously. Tacky red carpet entrance. Why does she try so hard to impress other artists on an awards show for...

As long as she gets attention for her lunacy, she'll keep trying to outdo herself. People need to get a grip - she is mentally ill and should NOT be treated like she's a "star." She's a freak.

48 hours before the Grammys did she instruct her team at Haus of Gaga how to create new costumes from inside that egg? Yeah, right, "lady"!

OK, really - she joked about being in the egg for 3 days on Jay Leno. It was a joke! It was announced AT the Grammys that she was only in there for 3 hours.

Only a complete dumb ass would believe that hell the egg she was carried in and the one on stage were different, she obviously had to stretch for her performance but it still shows her commitment to her performance art, which is what it is.

You mean....do you mean.... the Lady LIED to us?
Personally, I'm not into her theatrics but her old (Brown Eyes) music and her piano skills demonstrate that she really does have talent.
But she lied to me?
