Ariana Grande isn’t taking the accusations quiet well as she clapped back accuser Tekashi 6ix9ine for his accusation of buying charts to reach top of billboard charts with her latest collaboration ‘Stick With U’ featuring Justin Bieber.

‘Sweetener’ hit maker Ariana Grande, 27 is normally known for her calm and subtle persona quick not into things messy with other rivals but ‘Fefe’ hit maker Tekashi 6ix9ine, 24 made quite accusation for her buying the spot beating him behind which she actually needed to clap back.

Currently, Ariana and ‘Intentions’ hit maker Justin Bieber, 26 released a great new collaborated song “Stick With U” which reached at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Likewise, even rapper Tekashi released post-prison new song “Gooba” which also got quite a hit but couldn’t triumph Ari and JB’s song got more sale reaching top in Hot 100. But Tekashi didn’t feel right and accessed Ari of strategically boosting during final hours sales and in results of Billboard manipulating the numbers in favor of Ari and JB.

Ariana thus clapped back in her social media account addressing the accusation in a long post which says, “thank u to everybody who supported this song, this cause and made this happen. we love uuuuu so much. 🤍 there’s so much to celebrate today. 🤍 however, i would like to say a few things. anyone who knows me or has followed me for a while knows that numbers aren’t the driving force in anything i do. i’m grateful to sing. grateful to have people who want to listen. grateful to even be here at all. i didn’t have a number one for the first five years of my career and it didn’t upset me at all because from the bottom of my heart, music is everything to me. my fans are everything to me. i promise i couldn’t ask for another fucking thing. so with this celebration today, i would like to address a few things which i don’t usually do (i don’t give my energy to drama or strange accusations normally but this has gone a little too far)...my fans bought the song. JUSTIN’S fans bought the song. OUR fans bought this song (never more than four copies each, AS THE RULES STATE). they are ride or die motherfuckers and i thank god every day that i have them in my life. not just when they fight for us to win (even when i ask them not to as i did this week) but because they’re some of the greatest people i know. sales count for more than streams. u can not discredit this as hard as u try. to anybody that is displeased with their placement on the chart this week or who is spending their time racking their brain thinking of as many ways as they can to discredit hardworking women (and only the women for some reason.....), i ask u to take a moment to humble yourself. be grateful you’re even here. that people want to listen to u at all. it’s a blessed position to be in. i’ve had a lot of “almost number ones” in my career and i never said a goddamn thing because I FEEL GRATEFUL TO EVEN BE HERE. TO WANT TO BE HEARD AT ALL .... and you should feel that way too. congratulations to all my talented ass peers in the top ten this week. even number 3. 🥰 and thank u to @billboard for this honor. and thank u to everybody who helped us raise a lot of money for a very important cause this week. love u all a lot.”

Billboard even responded Tekashi’s accusation saying, ““Stuck with U” was available to purchase through the week as a digital download, as well as in various physical format/digital download combinations through Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber’s webstores. The sales spike is likely referring to sales on Thursday, May 14—the final day of the tracking week—when signed “Stuck with U” singles were put up for sale in Grande and Bieber’s webstores. A signed single or album is an accepted form of sales available to any artist and has been noted repeatedly within Billboard chart stories when such items have impacted the Hot 100. 6ix9ine, meanwhile, released a non-signed CD single/digital download on the last day of the tracking week via his webstore. As noted in this week’s story announcing the results on the latest Hot 100, “Stuck with U” sold 108,000 in the tracking week ending May 14 and “GOOBA” sold 24,000, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data.”
