Ariana Grande shuts Kanye West down, becomes feminist hero

In a single tweet, Ariana Grande announced the release of her latest song, lifted another fellow female musician up and put Kanye West in his place.

Ariana Grande might just be the feminist hero we need right now.

Following the super successful release of her revolutionary breakup anthem Thank U, Next — with the excellent Mean Girls inspired music video — Grande has done it again.

In a single tweet, Grande announced the release of her latest single, Imagine, lifted up a fellow female musician, and brilliantly put two grown men back in their place.

“Guys, I know there are grown men arguing online rn [right now] but Miley and I dropping our beautiful, new songs tonight so if y’all could please jus [sic] behave for just like a few hours so the girls can shine that’d be so sick thank u [sic],” she wrote.

Grande was referring to the bizarre Twitter feud between Kanye West and Drake, in which West accused Drake of threatening him and his family in a rambling online outburst.

Grande then managed to slap West, 41, down in perfect, ladylike form again when he tried to accuse the 25-year-old of using him to promote her new song.

with all due respect, i don't need to use anyone to promote anything. period. i was making a comment ab what men were doing at the time vs. women. it was a joke which i understand now was probably insensitive. i apologize if i was in any way triggering and hope u feel well today.
