Yesterday, Ariana Grande and Big Sean released a joint statement citing their packed touring schedules and time spent apart as the primary reason for the split, saying:
“They both care deeply for each other and remain close friends.”
In recent weeks especially, it looked like social media was actively trying to get them to break up. I posted what I’ve NOW learned was not a real screengrab of an Instagram post by Big Sean’s selfie accompanied by the caption:
“I give her that D… #Detroit.”
Underneath the photo an Instagram user who went by the handle “edward_butera,” which happens to be the name of Grande’s father, commented:
“that D. better be Detroit Sean.”
But according to Grande’s publicist, however, the entire Instagram photo was faked—a mock-up by an overly enthused hater. The person who commented underneath the photo claiming to be Grande’s father was “an imposter” who’d apparently jacked his Twitter profile picture for a fake Instagram account that has amassed some 23K followers —this according to Grande’s father. Yikes, that was hard to figure out. I linked to Big Sean’s Instagram and verified Ariana’s Dad’s name. So that surely had nothing to do with the split but I hate fake news. Maybe the split is fake too…? Think not.
