He could've just lived with the unanswered possibility that he might be like the a bunch of mako-infused freaks in a bunch of pods in front of a chamber that has his mother's name on it?
And Gackt's j-pop popularity status IS relevant - because the producer of Crisis Core was a big fan and wanted to have him have a bigger role in the realm of the FF7 continuity beyond just doing some music. So he, on his own, sat down with Gackt and developed this character and forced him into the plot. Answering questions that were never asked and never needed answers, let alone with ones that take away Sephiroth's agency and make his suddenly-existing-"best buddy ever" Genesis the mastermind behind his descent into madness.
The pop star didn't tell SE "Make my character make SEPHIROTH go mad" if anything all he did was help design his personality. And SE wounded up working that into said plot themselves.
