Nicki Minaj quiets the Ariana Grande beef rumors that were sparked by her praising the pop princess in her new "Bust Down Barbriana" freestyle.
"Killing everybody's beat. Thank you, next, Ariana," Minaj rapped in reference to Grande's smash-single.
Due to the fact that Nicki's "Going Bad" freestyle took shots at ex-lover Meek Mill, some of Grande's fans were confused by the slight punchline and assumed Minaj was instigating a beef with the singer. This caused the two entertainers' mega fan bases to work together and try to decipher if they should take up arms.
Eventually, Ariana and Nicki stepped in to defuse the situation, explaining that their relationship goes past music and the two would never be at odds.
