The internet may have gone a little bit too far this time with a joke about Ariana Grande , but luckily, her older brother Frankie Grande is shutting it down before it goes any farther. After an online hoax accusing the pop star of being — of all things — a cannibal began to take off on social media, the actor took to X to set the record straight Thursday (July 11). “HAHAHAHAHAHA.
Wow!” Frankie wrote, retweeting a post about the conspiracy. “This might be the most creative and lowest y’all have ever gone. Reaching new depths daily!” “Listen, I know my sister’s been eating the girls up for years but this a bit extreme!” he continued.
“Besides, she’s vegan. 🌱 See you on tour! 🌈” The notion that Ariana is a people-eater appears to have started as a loose prank among fans who were simply following an internet trend. In recent months, people have jokingly attempted to deter others from buying tickets to their favorite artists’ concerts by posting outlandish allegations against those artists — all in jest — so that there’s plenty of seats left for them to choose from once they go on sale.
The latest iteration of the trend involving the “Yes, And?” singer spiraled out of control, however, when some people started to take the faux accusations seriously, with others even spreading false information that human remains were once found in Ariana’s home. The chaos surrounding the vocalist’s upcoming tour — which hasn’t even been official.
