Rapper Princess Nokia is blasting Ariana Grande for plagiarizing the flow from her song “Mine”, but is it really her’s in the first place? In a video posted to Twitter, Nokia listens to both versions of the tunes and makes sarcastic gestures. Towards the end of the clip, Nokia utters “sounds about white”, implying Ari appropriated her tune. The issue is, some people think BOTH their songs steal flows from Soulja Boy’s “Pretty Boy Swag” and other pioneering trap rappers. Hit play. Is this a reach? @ArianaGrande pic.twitter.com/48ZqIv5DBq — Princess Nokia (@princessnokia) January 18, 2019 Nokia blasting Ari for using a trap flow has Twitter blowing up and folks in their feelings.

Pete Davidson really wishes Ariana Grande has not told the world that he has a giant penis. Yes, it’s true: This may the biggest first world problem anyone has ever encountered. Back in June, in case you somehow forgot, Grande was asked by a fan for the length of her interlude in the track “Pete.” But the pop star used this as an opportunity to joke (or not joke?) about her then-fiance’s d-ck size, replying that she estimated Davidson’s unit to measure around 10 inches. When erect, we assume. If that were her measurement when merely flaccid, well… there’s just no way Grande would be walking properly, even all these months later. So this sort of just became something everyone knows about Pete Davidson. The guy is funny on Saturday Night Live. He has battled substance abuse problems for years. And he’s massively hung. However, during a stand-up comedy act at Tarrytown Music Hall in New York on January 12, Davidson told attendeed that he actually would have preferred it if Grande had kept this information to herself. “I don’t like that she talked all that sh-t for my penis,” he joked to the crowd, referencing Ariana’s height and adding: “Everything is huge to her. Why would she tell everyone that I have a huge penis? So that every girl who sees my d-ck for the rest of my life is disappointed.” That’s pretty funny, we must admit. And it’s also sort of accurate: Grande stands only five feet tall. In her “Thank U, Next” music video, which indirectly addressed many of her ex-lovers, Grande added that a certain past boyfriend was “really big.” And we’re pretty sure she meant in the crotch department. Davidson, who appeared to threaten suicide not too long ago and who is hopefully doing much better these days, is obviously now using these Grande quotes for joke material. Which is his right, of course. But it does bring up something of a double standard, doesn’t it? Yes, we all laugh when Grande mentions Davidson’s impressive penis size. We all assume Davidson should just be flattered and pretty psyched that the world is aware of his status down there. However, let’s turn the tables. Let’s say a famous guy was going on and on in public about how his famous ex had giant boobs. He’d be dismissed as a sexist and a huge pig, right? Just something to consider, folks.
Source: James Devaney / Getty Pete Davidson Jokes About Size Of His Manhood Back when Pete Davidson and Ariana Grande were still a thing, the “God Is A Woman” singer had no problem letting everyone know that her man was well-endowed. Ariana, who was engaged to Pete before everything took a sudden turn for the worst , was doing a Q&A on Twitter when a fan asked about Pete’s length. Hilariously enough, the fan was talking about the song Ariana dedicated to Pete on her album Sweetene r —still she responded in a since-deleted tweeted, “Like 10 inches?…. oh fu**…. i mean… like a lil over a minute.” After they broke things off, Ariana also seemed to reference Pete’s alleged mandingo meat in the burn book she wrote in for her Mean Girls -inspired “thank u, next” video. See that here . In retrospect, the comedian isn’t so happy that his ex led women to believe he’s got a big ol’ baby arm. According to People , he spoke about her comments while doing a standup set over the weekend: “I don’t like that she talked all that sh** for my [manhood]. Everything is huge to her,” he joked. “Why would she tell everyone that I have a huge p*nis? So that every girl who sees my d— for the rest of my life is disappointed.” “I genuinely wish her all the happiness in the world,” he reportedly added. Self-deprecating comedy seems to be Pete’s shtick, so in this case we can probably trust Ariana’s word. Plus, he seems to have some pretty decent-sized feet…what do you think?
Ariana Grande hasn’t been shy about singing about her break-up from Pete Davidson . A few months ago, she released the music video for her single “thank u, next. The single referenced the lessons she’s learned from her long list of exes. Grande also sang about a former boyfriend on her buzz single “Imagine,” which was released in December. She rehabilitated her image to make it look as if she’s an independent woman. But fans noticed that Grande has been spending a lot of time with fellow donut licker and ex-boyfriend, Ricky Alvarez , lately. Grande is known to jump from relationship to relationship. She can’t fool anybody. The 25-year-old also wasted no time dropping hints about her upcoming single. From the looks of it, it could involve her public engagement and rapper Biggie Smalls . The pint-sized singer shared the album artwork for her new song “7 Rings” on Instagram on Thursday, Jan. 10. She captioned the photo with seven ring emojis and the date: “1.18.” It looks like she’s hinting towards a Jan. 18 release date. Ariana also shared some super sexy photos from what looks to be the music video for her new single. Fans noticed that the new song may sample a track from the Notorious B.I.G. Grande shared several clips of herself and her pet pig, Piggy Smallz, listening to some of the rapper’s iconic hits. She took to her Instagram Stories to share a screenshot of Biggie’s song “Gimme the Loot” with a black heart and ring emoji. Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson got engaged in June 2018 after just weeks of dating. He gave her a pear-shaped Greg Yuna engagement ring that was worth $93,000. She traded it in for a Tiffany’s friendship ring that she bought with seven of her best friends after her split in October.

Source: Gallo Images / Getty You’d think after Coachella announced their line-up , people would get excited for the festival and that would be the end of it. However, folks are putting their zoom-in feature to good use with criticism of the festival’s fine print. First, there was a whole Gucci Mane fiasco where instead of printing “Gucci Mane” as a performer, Coachella billed him as “Gucci Gang.” However, Coachella came through with the quick save and later changed their artist site to show Gucci would be performing with Lil Pump and Smokepurpp as the “Gucci Gang.” Nice one Coachella. But this didn’t stop other people from beefing with the music festival…more specifically a not-so-happy music artist. Nigerian afrobeat star Burna Boy couldn’t help but notice that his name was smaller in the billing than say…the headliners of the show. Peep his name below, three rows down from Ariana Grande. pic.twitter.com/v7RmGri9O0 — Coachella (@coachella) January 3, 2019 Burna Boy was so annoyed with his placement that he made a post about it on Insta-stories. “I am an AFRICAN GIANT and will not be reduced to whatever that tiny writing means,” he said. Ironically, the afrobeat artist Mr. Eazi, who’s just as big as Burna Boy, also received the same-sized text and complaints from him were nowhere to be found. The Internet was quick to clown Burna Boy over his print outrage.

While afrobeat artists are booming in places like Nigeria and Ghana, they have yet to make a large-scale impact on American audiences. “Burna boy. No notable award to his name.. No Billboard appearance. No BET nomination.. Just one breakthrough year and he gets picked for coachella for the first time in his life and this ni**a thinks he’s Drake,” Twitter user @OlaTheOG said. “You want your name in caps like Ariana that has 141m followers on IG.” Burna boy. No notable award to his name.. No Billboard appearance. No BET nomination.. Just one breakthrough year and he gets picked for coachella for the first time in his life and this nigga thinks he's Drake. You want your name in caps like Ariana that has 141m followers on IG — BREZZIDENT (@OlaTheOG) January 3, 2019 Many people followed up on the Ariana Grande comparison, saying Burna Boy hasn’t reached the same pop status as the “Thank U, Next” singer, so his billing font might be a tad smaller. Someone said Burna boy has more fan base than Ariana Grande Please what's the color of this madness — Trouble Maker (G.O) (@ObongRoviel) January 3, 2019 Then, of course, there were people who were just plain petty… Have you greeted Burna Boy this afternoon?? https://t.co/yssKP4y6az — valking♔ (@_valkiing) January 3, 2019 Lmaoooooo somebody went to clean a whole Ariana Grande's name & Put Burna Boy. No Respect pic.twitter.com/swYdbM4YcT — KinG NomSo (@ani_nomso) January 3, 2019 Eventually, Burna Boy responded to the backlash with another Insta-story post , writing: “AFRICAN creatives going Global. Not the soft, Low self esteem Africans with the slave mentality. I will grant an interview soon to make myself understood. Nothing say comes from any place of ‘pride’ or any sense of ‘entitlement,’ it comes from my Vision of the future of AFRICA not just AFRICAN Music.” What do you think? Should Coachella put more respect on Burna’s name or does Burna’s font outrage still go under the petty files? One thing is for certain. People will be expecting a headline-worthy performance from him come April.

Ariana Grande made it as clear as possible a few days ago: She was so very ready to be done with 2018 . And now the beloved pop star has made something else as clear as possible: She also may be done with dating. Forever. On Tuesday, the artist came across a fan’s post with the headline: “Who Is Ariana Dating NOW?!” In response to this question, the 25-year-old herself was curious to find out the answer. “Can they tell me too?” she replied to one follower, prior making it adding in no uncertain terms whatsoever: Spoiler: for the rest of this year/probably my life: It’s no one. Please refer back to this tweet for future questions. So there we appear to have it. Sorry, fellas. We doubt Grande is serious about swearing off men forever, but it’s easy to understand where she’s coming from. As loyal celebrity gossip fans likely know very well, this has been a very tumultuous year for the singer on the personal front. Back in September, Grande’s ex-boyfriend of two years, Mac Miller, died of a drug overdose . Not only did Ariana have to deal with the painful personal feelings associated with this loss, she also had to deal with awful Internet trolls actually blaming her for Miller’s death. These insensitive morons tried to argue that Grande ending the couple’s romance drove Miller (a long-time addict) deep into despair — and, consequently, heavy drug use. Grande, as you are also very likely aware, got engaged to Pete Davidson this fall… after mere weeks of dating the comedian. The stars then called off said engagement mere weeks later and spent several days shading each other online. This tragically contributed to Davidson threatening to kill himself and Grande once again needing to turn off her Instagram comments due to all the hate spewed in her direction. So, yeah. We totally get why she isn’t anxious to get out there and mingle with other single people right now. “I want to say that I find it interesting that this has been one of the best years of my career and the worst of my life,” Ariana said in December , adding while accepting the Woman of the Year award at Billboard’s Women in Music event: “But as far as my personal life goes. I really have no idea what the f-ck I’m doing… “I just want to say if you’re someone out there who has no idea what this next chapter’s gonna bring, you’re not alone in that.” Amen, Ariana. Thankfully, Grande continues to have the support of her millions of social media followers. This is what she wrote about them on Tuesday: My timeline is beautiful rn. Proud of u all and the human beings you’re growing into. Happy nye! Continue to take care of / celebrate each other the way you always do. Happy to know u thru the internet & have u in my life. Our relationship is real and important to me. Love u.
Earlier this month, Pete Davidson threatened suicide in an Instagram post that left the comic’s family, friends, and fans deeply concerned. Davidson’s SNL sketches were scrapped that week in order to allow the 25-year-old the time and space necessary to focus on his mental health. The show is currently on hiatus until mid-January, and production sources stated that SNL’s top brass — including creator and executive producer Lorne Michaels — encouraged Davidson to seek treatment during that time. Davidson has checked into treatment before, and he’s fully aware of the severity of his mental health issues, so it was widely assumed he would do exactly that. Now, however, new photos indicate that Davidson either left rehab after just a few days, or never checked in at all. Pete deleted his Instagram following his recent suicide threat, but he popped up on other people’s pages over the holidays. The photo above shows Pete smoking what appears to be a blunt with rapper Machine Gun Kelly. Davidson and MGK recently filmed a movie together, and production sources indicate that they quickly became friends. According to Radar Online, Pate attended an MGK concert in Ohio, then partied with the rapper afterward. From there, Davidson traveled to his home in Red Bank, New Jersey, where he spent the holiday with family and friends. A photo viewed by Radar shows Davidson smoking, but insiders claim it’s just a clove cigarette. Those closest to the comic say he appeared to be in good spirits on Christmas Day, but mood swings are said to be a symptom of his condition, and those who struggle with depression and anxiety are often able to mask their ailment from others. “i really don’t want to be on this earth anymore,” Davidson wrote on Instagram before he deleted his account. “i’m doing my best to stay here for you but i actually don’t know how much longer i can last. all i’ve ever tried to do was help people. just remember i told you so,” he added. We wish the talented comic all the best in his continued recovery. View Slideshow: Ariana Grande vs. Pete Davidson: Whose Side Should You Take In This Ugly Breakup?
Reports say that Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth just got married . Her friend Ariana Grande has been a little less lucky in love. After Ariana’s split with Pete Davidson , Miley reached out to her … by hitting on her. On The Howard Stern Show this month, Miley Cyrus spoke about how she reached out to Ariana Grande after Ariana’s split from Pete Davidson. “I’m an emoji person,” Miley says. “So I just sent a bunch of hearts and the little cat with the heart eyes.” Emojis have a large variety of hearts and even of cats, and the two in combination. “I literally think I sent the cat with the heart eyes,” Miley says. “I thought it was slightly, maybe even kind of making her feel good,” she explains. Emojis are a common form of sympathy, especially when you’re not sure how a person feels about a complicated, sad situation. Sending what amounts to a bouquet of emojis shows that you sympathize and are there to listen, without using so many words. Miley even shares that she made her emojis a little flritatious. She says that it was “like maybe I was hitting on her a little bit.” Miley is of course pansexual — but also very much in a relationship. It doesn’t matter, though, because her intention was to cheer up Ariana. “It felt like to me,” Miley reveals. “It felt maybe like a little, ‘Oh hey, someone loves you. If it’s not working, here I am.'” Miley sounds like a great friend. Ariana, Miley reveals, replied to her friendly overture with the clouds emoji. “It all said everything,” Miley expresses. That makes sense — but Miley offers her interpretation. “I think she was saying, ‘I’m okay, and I’m here. … Thank you for thinking of me,'” Miley says. (I would say that she was acknowledging Miley’s message gracefully while also sharing that she feels a little gloomy) “That’s what I think it meant,” Miley shares. Miley didn’t just want to talk about Ariana’s breakup, though. She also took the time to gush about Ariana’s music. “She’s kind of one of my favorite artists right now,” Miley announces. “Because the thing that I really like about her … anything I’ve ever asked her to be involved in … she’s always done it,” Miley notes. “So I can never say a bad thing about her,” Miley explains. “Because she’s always been so great.” That’s not how Ariana made her way to my list of favorite singers, but okay. “I would say she’s a good friend,” Miley says of Ariana. She then makes a broader statement about what defines a friendship. “It’s not about how many hours spent or how many inside jokes you have,” Miley shares. Some best friends are lucky enough to hang out every day. Other very good friends may go years without seeing each other. Unfortunately, adult life is like that. Of friendship, Miley says: “but it’s about the real s–t.” “Her and I, we kind of text,” Miley says of her relationship with Ariana. A lot of friendships are like that. “If I ever see anything, and I never even know if it’s true or not because people say crazy s— about me all the time,” Miley begins. Miley continues: “but I’ll just text her and say, ‘I’m really thinking about you. And if you ever wanna talk to me.'” In other words, if she sees a headline about Ariana, she doesn’t know if it’s true, but she’ll softly reach out just in case. That’s a good policy. Emotional support doesn’t need a crisis. View Slideshow: Miley Cyrus Risks Catastrophic Nip-Slip on Saturday Night Live
