Ariana Grande responds to rumours about her sexuality

The singer addressed claims she was bisexual after her new song sparked speculation the Grammy winner was coming out.

Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson reportedly split

Ariana Grande has said she won’t label her sexuality despite the rumours that were sparked by the release of her newest single Monopoly on Monday.

The song, which Grande released with songwriter Victoria Monét, includes the lyrics: “I like women and men” which led people to speculate that the 25-year-old is bisexual.

Grande responded to the rumours on social media, after one fan tweeted: “Ariana ain’t gotta label herself, but she said what she said.”

“I haven’t before and still don’t feel the need to now,” she wrote, adding: “Which is okay.”

Early in the song, Monét and Grande sing the line in question together, but later on, Grande sings the line solo.

As soon as the song was released on Monday afternoon, fans began to speculate on social media about Grande’s sexuality.

Grande was last year engaged to comedian Pete Davidson for five months before splitting in October.

Prior to that the singer dated rapper Mac Miller for two years and broke up in early 2018. Miller died of an accidental drug overdose in September.

Despite Grande’s refusal to confirm either way, her friend and co-collaborator Monét came out as bisexual in November 2018 on Twitter.

She posted: “After coming out, this thanksgiving coulda went waaaay left! But she love meeeee how I am and I’m so happy.”
