There has recently been an influx of TikTok users impersonating Ariana Grande, and she's not too happy about it. In a since-deleted Instagram Story post, Grande addressed all the imitators and called them "degrading."
"Omg can this please also double as your impression of the pony tail TikTok girls who think doing the cat valentine voice and that wearing wingeed eyeliner and a sweatshirt is doing a good impersonation of me," she wrote, responding to actor Jordan Firstman's Instagram Story. "Cause this really how it feels. 'Degrading it's entire value' I screamed." Obviously, Grande doesn't think the impersonators of her are even doing a good job of it.

The impersonators on TikTok first started to surface sometime last year, and she responded to a viral tweet of one such clip back then.
