Celebs Who Have Issues With Ariana Grande
14.
Alex DeLeon- Apparently The Cab lead singer wasn’t too fond of Grande and spilled the
beans on Twitter about his first encounter with her.
He stated that he hoped none of his fans would ever have the displeasure of meeting her in
person.
He included her Twitter handle and even put that she was the most selfish, disrespectful
person he’s met in the music industry.
While it’s unknown what actually happened between these two artists, most people can
speculate that it’s because of the pop singer’s alleged diva behavior.
13.
Mayim Bialik - The Big Bang Theory actress took to her blog Kveller and expressed herself
and what she thought of billboards that featured “The Way” singer.
Bialik wrote that she had no idea who Ariana Grande was and based off the billboard, she
thought that she sold lingerie, stiletto heels or even plastic surgery.
The neuroscientist added that she didn’t understand why Grande posed in her underwear
and if she’s a singer then what is the purpose of advertising herself in lingerie?
A feminist herself, Bialik went on to say that women are expected to be sexually available
no matter what they do and she guessed that she needed to explain that to her kids?
She went on to poke fun at herself and says that even though she may be old fashioned,
she doesn’t understand what good billboards like that do for society and humanity.
No denying that is a pretty good argument there.
12.
Perez Hilton- Over the years the celebrity blogger was the go-to source for latest and
juiciest gossip.
He is known to expose many stars which result in backlash and hate so anyone can be a target,
including Ariana Grande.
He tweeted out to her asking if she was alright because he heard from someone that she was
snorting cocaine at a party and to keep away from drugs.
He then went on to tweet to Nickelodeon asking that if it’s true that the pop singer has
a drug issue, then she needed to get help as soon as possible.
While that is a pretty big bold accusation to make, Hilton didn’t seem too worried
when it was reported that Grande was filing a suit against him and his allegations on
social media.
11.
Bette Midler- The Divine Miss M took a jab at the pop princess back in late 2014 when
she criticized Grande for being too provocative.
Midler told The Telegraph that she didn’t have to make a whore out of herself to get
ahead.
Grande responded to the nasty statement by tweeting that Midler was always by a feminist
who stood for women being able to do whatever they wanted without any judgment.
Ariana went on to say that she didn’t know where that Bette went but she wanted her back.
Underneath Grande’s tweet was a pic of Midler dressed as a mermaid.
Bette quickly apologized by tweeting on her birthday and posting that her birthday wish
was that Grande forgave her and allowed her to direct her next video.
10.
Chrissy Teigen- When it comes to harsh critiques, Model and TV personality Chrissy Teigen is
known for being outspoken and took straight to Twitter when Ariana Grande made her debut
on Saturday Night Live back in 2014.
Fans gushed over Grande’s amazing skit and performance and were impressed with her impersonations.
However, not everyone praised Grande.
In the middle of the SNL skit, Teigen posted on Twitter, “I love your cat ears headband.
It alerts to me to immediately hate you.”
Many of Ari’s fans rushed to her defense, in which Teigen responded to the hate with
another tweet saying, “Only a few years of my life have been f***ed up by social media,
I can not imagine those younger than me.”
Ouch!
However, when Grande and John Legend teamed up for a duet to sing the song title for Beauty
and the Beast in early 2017, Teigen praised the song and tweeted to Grande that she sounded
so incredible that it made her want to cry.
This should definitely teach us not to judge so quickly.
9.
Jennette McCurdy- The two former Nickelodeon stars were once best pals playing alongside
each other on the hit comedy show Sam & Cat.
The show was a huge hit among fans but was surprisingly canceled after just one year.
When the show’s run ended, the iCarly actress took to social media to vented how she felt.
With rumors circulating of an unequal pay salary and sketchy contracts, McCurdy was
quick to put those false statements to rest.
However, McCurdy did reveal that she and Grande didn’t always see eye to eye.
She admitted that just after one season the two frequently butted heads, stating that
emotions were running high and it was somewhat dramatic.
8.
Solange Knowles- Beyonce’s younger sister made it clear that she is not a fan of the
young rising pop star.
A fan tweeted to Knowles that her voice resembled Mariah Carey and that she was great at singing
as Mariah.
However, Knowles quickly tweeted back that no one was better at imitating Mariah Carey
than Ariana Grande.
She responded at the end saying she was just going to chill and happy Sunday to all.
While many people have accused Grande of being an MC imitator, who would have thought Solange
would take it this far?
As for her older sister Beyonce, Queen Bey seems to be a fan of Ari and even revealed
her June birthday special playlist to her fans with Ariana’s song “Problem” include
on the list.
7.
Drake Bell- The former Nickelodeon star revealed his real thoughts about Grande when he was
interviewed by Buzzfeed.
He stated that he thought a lot of the younger people don’t have to work too hard because
they’re found on Youtube and believe that they can do anything once they’re thrown
into a studio.
He went on say that before Ari got famous, she was already a billionaire and that you
had to work hard to appreciate what you have and asked what work did she ever have to do
in her life?
Despite the cruel words, he does have a good point.
Her father is Edward Butera who is the CEO of Ibi Designs.
The successful graphic company based in Boca Raton, Florida has worked with noteworthy
celebrities including Eddie Murphy.
6.
Rihanna- Rihanna is the queen of shade and has no problem showing her true feelings.
During the 2014 iHeartRadio Awards, Grande performed an array of songs like “The Way”
and “Problem.”
During the show, the camera started panning to audiences and other celebrities in the
crowd including Luke Bryan and Blake Shelton, who seemed unimpressed with Grande’s presentation.
However when the camera moved onto Rihanna; it captured her giggling and covering her
mouth when Grande was dancing on stage.
While it’s unclear if RiRi was laughing because she thought it was “cute” that
Grande was attempting to be sexy or if she was mocking her appearance, either way, RiRi
made no attempt to conceal her emotions.
While many of the fans might have agreed that this performance didn’t showcase the pop
princess’ best moves, she nonetheless delivered an excellent performance!
5.
Lindsay Lohan- I guess Lindsay Lohan is still a true mean girl.
Grande posted a pic of her and Dove Cameron while on the set of Hairspray Live and Lohan
wasted no time commenting “Too much makeup” hinting that their pink eyeshadow and bright
pink lips were too much for Lohan’s taste.
In fact, to make her point crystal clear, Lohan typed out “too much makeup” on three
of Grande’s posts.
Lohan’s candid comments struck a nerve with Grande’s fan who replied back to the actress
with a slew of hateful comments.
One user wrote to Lohan that her movie career didn’t even last to her adult years, stating
that by the time she turned 24 years old, she looked 42.”
Another fan wrote, “Too much surgery for you.”
While it’s unclear if Grande every responded back to Lohan, one thing is too never dish
what you can’t put out.
4.
Jai Brooks- The Youtube star and starlet were in a relationship back in 2013.
The rumor mill started churning of possible reasons for the breakup.
Grande called it quits with him after he failed to be there for her when her grandfather passed
away.
Then Brooks stated that Grande had cheated on him with fellow singer Nathan Sykes.
Even two years later, it seemed that the drama was still ongoing after Brooks and his twin
got into a little riff over social media.
Jai jokingly tweeted to his brother that he was sorry he took the one thing good he had
about his brother.
His twin Luke quickly responded that just because his experience was horrible doesn’t
mean his experience was!
While it’s clear that he was referencing Grande, sibling rivalry can get pretty ugly!
3.
Giuliana Rancic- Poor Giuliana!
The tv personality star recounted her horrible experience when she met the pop singer on
the red carpet.
She revealed the details to US Weekly and said that during the American Music Awards,
little Ari came over and elbowed her to the side.
Confused and annoyed, Rancic stated that she was pushed and forced to be on her “ugly”
side.
During the incident, she said that she felt it was wrong either you get on one side, or
you don’t do the interview emphasizing that she’s been in the biz for 13 years and fought
for her good side of the camera.
The E! Host went on to say that if it were Mariah, she would get on any side, even bend
down or climb a ladder.
But when you’re new on the block you have to do what you have do.
I hear you on that Guiliana!
2.
Big Sean- The two artists were once former love birds, and everyone thought their love
would last.
So many fans were shocked when rapper Big Sean ended his relationship with Grande just
before they reached one year.
According to a few media sources, the rapper decided to cut ties with his ex due to her
alleged diva attitude.
Apparently, the two did not see eye to eye when it came down to how she wanted to be
treated.
She reportedly asked him to fly her internationally on a private jet, stating he spent thousands
of dollars to fly her wherever she wanted.
Big Sean’s friends went on to say that he did not like the fact that she wasn’t supportive
of his music career; especially when she didn’t show up to his House of Blues concerts in
Hollywood.
The rapper also accused her of using Justin Bieber to make his jealous.
1.
Mariah Carey- The songstress and reigning diva has worked her way to the top and planned
to stay there.
Many celebrities and fans have noted that Grande vocals sound strikingly similar to
the one and only Mariah Carey.
When asked what MC thought of Ariana Grande during her appearance on Watch What Happens
Live on Sunday, Mimi stated that she didn’t know her.
The butterfly singer went on to say that she listened to hip hop more than pop music.
It’s pretty obvious that Mariah wants the comparisons to end.
When it comes to artists who are similar her to her, she told Power 105.1 that she was
still young and that she discounts numbers.
She said she stopped counting at 17 but wished everybody the best of luck and if this is
the path they chose, hopefully, they can reach longevity.
As brutal as that statement is, we don’t expect anything less from Mariah.
